Greetings writers! It has recently come to my attention that Feedburner doesn’t appear to be sending out the writing prompts daily. In the past the prompts have been set up to be available for you at 5 a.m. on the blog and via the email responder shortly after. I recently changed the settings to just after midnight and between 3 and 5 a.m. so I hope that will help you receive them early enough in the day. I’m looking for other options but haven’t found anything viable yet. In the meantime, if you could answer this poll for me to let me know how many of you are experiencing problem I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks!

The sweet scent of gardenias mingled with beer made me want to retch. I fought the urge as they looked in my direction. Were they looking at me? Or was it my wild imagination taking over again. One of the men nodded in my direction. Yep, they were looking at me. Of course it could be something as harmless as commenting on the weird girl (that be me) staring at them but chances…

Approach the video from a non-fiction standpoint by answering the question, “Is it worth the trip?” Or from the fiction standpoint of discovering (or having to discover) a new home. There is a lot of great information for new world writers in this 20 minute movie from Space Rip:
