Back briefly

Posted on Monday, January 25th, 2010 in writing Tags: ,

No real excuses for the quiet of the past couple of weeks. I’ve disappointed myself by not keeping up the blogging routine I’d started to get into, but I’ve been felled by the mid-January blues which usually follow the early-January enthusiasm.

Anyway, Microfiction Monday is always a good excuse to post something! And I had to work a bit on this one to get it down under 140 characters, which was a good exercise.

Microfiction Monday

Being a doll stuck in one position wasn’t fun. After five years gazing up a cheerleader’s skirt, it was no wonder Betty’s eyes were so big.

    Poor Betty! And your Betty wasn’t nearly as judgmental as mine. ;)

    I loved this one!

    It’s funny the dolls were arranged that way — I didn’t even think of that til reading some of the stories.

    Yep, I’m looking for Betty’s tell all, too! I bet it’s a good one! Have a great week!

    And of course they can’t re-arrange too often or they’ll risk damage to the artifacts! Ha ha! Very well done!

    I laughed out loud at the ‘eyes so big’!!
    Quite a few of us noticed where her gaze was, but tying it to those big eyes is fabulous.

    Sorry to hear about the January blues; I’ve got them too and my house is a mess, we’re eating sandwiches for supper too often… just blaaaahhh. Hopefully we’re on the way out of this.
