Good morning all, you who I affectionately and playfully refer to as my Literati What an incredible expression of love and trust Miryam Meier-Howard has bestowed upon us this morning, with her entry into our contest, whose finalist prompt is This changes everything. We have created a community that allows us to reveal the […]
Literati! Ashley has submitted to our finals, with her take on the prompt “This changes everything”. That leaves only Miryam Howard to send in her tail, as Ashley has done. Are You Positive? By Ashley Johnson “Paul?” Elizabeth said quietly. She wasn’t entirely sure how to start the conversation. He seemed way too focused […]
Literati! A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, a Thorn by any other name, is still…a prick. Mac Egan! You shoulda known better! You have been thorned! For the uninitiated, “Thorning” is the act whereby I take your private emails to me, and decide that they really need to be broadcast without […]

Literati! Oh! The chickens have indeed come home to roost! A Ka’Thartic moment! The chicken would be Steve Bienfang. The roost would be the towers that are A Word with You Press.

And if you want it, it can always come again… So…don’t let the sun catch you catch you cryin’ (I like that) And by […]
