Good morning, Literati (and will you Lifers please explain to the newly infarcerated  that Stephen Colbert has Nation, Rush Limbaugh has Ditto Heads, but A Word with You Press has Literati?–thank you)  Prisoner Stang… The Warden wants to free you–oops!–see you.  Sorry. Michael Stang is caught here breaking and entering our contest You Didn’t Write […]

Good Oceanside morning, oh Literati. I figured it was only fair that I enter the contest as well, which ends in about a week (still time for you to submit other entries of your own) You Didn’t Write That. I am hoping that all of us, meaning you (plural) and me/I, have more in common […]

 Literati Terrie Leigh Relf has apparently discovered my secret.  Here is another entry into our contest You Didn’t Write That   Mrs. Malaprop Pays a Visit to a Local Book Reviewer by Terrie Leigh Relf             “You didn’t write that.” “What?” Stefan yelled over the espresso machine’s steamer. “Never mind,” I mumbled, waiting anxiously for […]

Oh, waxing nostalgic Literati! Debi Swim has sent us another entry for our contest You Didn’t Write That.  Top shelf on our closet at The Word (our menu bar) there is a shoebox that says “Contests”.  Take it down and sort through it until you find the rules and parameters for this contest, and pen […]

Literati! Tisha Deutsch is one of my favorite people, though, as is the case with most of you, we have only met in the playground that is A Word with You Press. And why is she so special?  Because Tisha has the absolutely perfect excuse not to write:  she is raising about seven adopted kids. […]

I wanna change channels. Finally, oh Literati, Terri Leigh Relf has turned her writer’s block into sawdust and is (here comes my favorite word!) submitting! Have you submitted yet?  You’ll feel better for it.  Just undue that little hasp on the menu bar that says “Contests” and I’ll do the rest. Here is something she […]

“Little Literati!  Diana Cresswell is here to deliver the rabbit punch (line)” She’s really got quite a (cotton) tail to tell, as she risks a Thorning to entertain us once more. This is her second fall down the rabbit hole in our contest You Didn’t Write That.  The White Rabbit was last seen falling through […]

Literati!  Now we have a great irony! John Savage has submitted a story for our contest whose prompt is You Didn’t Write That in which he accuses a famous author who is not me of taking credit for a story he did not write, just like Richard Kimball taking credit for a crime he did […]

 Literati! Apparently you have made newcomer to our site Vincent Pritchard fell right at home.  He is entering a second time in our contest You Didn’t Write That.  If you didn’t write that yet, smash a brick through window number four on our menu bar and let the rules come tumbling down.   AND here […]

…merely players.  They have their exits, and their entrances…(William, you DID write that!) Literati!  Mac Eagan returns for a curtain call.  This is his second entry into our contest You Didn’t Write That. With an election just a month away, this piece is appropriately titled: Power and Responsibility by Mac Eagan   “John, look at […]

 Literati. How many of us have been where Raymond has been?  Everybody loves Raymond. Everybody. I remember also that when I was married to a beautiful woman everybody loved her.  At least, everybody that could. But, because I live, I have been on both sides of the equation.  Monica Brinkman has returned to us now […]

Literati! “When I find myself in Times of Trouble, Sal Buttaci comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, ‘Let it BEE’.” Here is Sal’s second entry into our contest You Didn’t Write That.  Unlatch the word CONTEST from the menu bar and let us know what YOU didn’t write!    PURGE     by Salvatore Buttaci, Flashsquire […]
