The face you make when you try to smell your own nose. Coincidentally, the same face I make while trying to solve a plotting problem.

My face may be blurry, but her smile is not.
Morning frolics with some piggies before getting back to my creative projects.

Telepathically dictating her memoirs to me.
“Chapter 3 - I did not consent to this vet visit, nor did I consent to this photo. And yet, here we are. They all say I’m adorable.”

Today’s writing prompt comes from the back of a dump truck.
I see a skeleton that’s either politely interrupting my nightmare with a raised index finger, or his hand is turned and he’s giving me the finger.
Either way, perspective is everything.

That little story that I’m working on? It also takes place here(ish). I took this photo from the trail, just outside of The Polar Bear Capital of the World.
Bundle up. It’s going to be a cold one.

Shirley Jackson’s short story from 1948, which inspired the most mail The New Yorker had ever received in response to a work of fiction.
“The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson
Fiction, from 1948: “The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions; most of them were quiet, wetting their lips, not looking around.”

My next story takes place here. Or some version of here.
Anyone else out there using a photo to set the tone when you’re writing a long one? What about a 6 hour audio loop of a snowstorm? Just me?

I wrote ICE CURTAIN while daydreaming about the International Date Line, time travel, and regret.
It was produced on Creepy in September. Many thanks to the editors that selected my work 💗
