You're in a cafe...

and you see him come in. He's wearing that shirt, you know the one that hugs his chest and back in all the right places. And his jeans. Oh god, those jeans. The way they hug his ass and reveal the bulge that leaves nothing to the imagination. He glances your way and a smile lights up his eyes. Though you both agreed to meet later, you can't but want him to come closer, to sit with you, to talk about his day so far. But you both wait, forced to be satisfied with just the smile and the look.

Write About Small Mistakes

Small mistakes can lead to big ones. Small mistakes over and over can lead to heartbreak. Everyone has made small mistakes. It's what happens from that, that can make the difference.

Write About a Rendezvous

We had been planning it for two weeks. I had to travel and so did he. It was just chance we were going to the same town at the same time, but we intended to take full advantage. Since neither of us had any obligations waiting for us at home, we took the rest of the week off to spend together. I arrived at the hotel first and made sure everything was in order, as well as having a fruit plate and wine ready for him. When he arrived and we saw each other, we knew it was going to be an exciting trip.

The Night Won't Save Anyone

Everyone thought the arrival of the night would save us from the heat of the sun. It did, but an even greater evil waited for us in the night. At first, we didn't know what it was until we lost three people. Then we realized it was a creature that looked like Earth's pterodactyl. All but three of us died before we were rescued. Now the planet has been quarantined. I know someone will lift it eventually. I just hope I never see it.

Write About a Time You Did Something Out of Superstition

To bring good luck financially, place a fresh basil leaf in your wallet with a single dollar bill wrapped around it. I placed one in each of our wallets. It seemed to help.

Write About A Time the Lights Went Out

The sky had darkened with the arrival of the storm. Jagged streaks of light break through the darkness as thunder cracks in the silence. We sit in the house, T.V. and lights on, talking about the coming storm. A sudden, close crack of thunder startles all of us. Then the house is plunged into darkness. The kids scream in surprise as I laugh and make my way to the drawer with flashlights in it. Until the lights come back on, we play with the flightlights on the wall.

Night is Falling. You're Not At Home

So get in your car and go home. Don't be silly. It's not like anyone is keeping you from leaving. Honestly, if you're afraid of the dark, get your head checked. Nothing is in the dark that can hurt you. And any of those who try are just really sick people. Go home.

Write About A Simple Pleasure

Chocolate, the most simple of pleasures. So many different kinds but everyone has their favorites. I like the Hershey bar, with and without almonds. The Dove chocolates are good too. I like the See's Candy caramel patties with milk chocolate. And I like Ethel M's Pecan Patties, milk chocolate. I don't like dark chocolate very much and white chocolate doesn't even taste like real chocolate, probably isn't.

Write About A Door Key

Home Depot has a Tinkerbell key. Micaela likes Tinkerbell, but when we made keys for the kids, she did not want it. I liked the key, but I can't get one made for me because I already have a house key. I think having pretty keys is neat and it shows the owner's personality.

Vegas Valley Book Festival

The book festival was last Saturday. There were other writers there, we were really full. I didn't sell any books at the festival, but I certainly learned quite a bit. The lady next to me had bookmarks, so that may be something good to have in the future. At another table, a group of authors with an adult publishing company were very friendly and helpful. One author offered to give me a reference to her publisher and I do plan to take full advantage of this.
