A dose of silliness helps reality go up ~*~

Gobbled

I’m all feathers and chicken bones today.
A mite could devour
My courage
In a nano-gulp, a micro-breath—
Pfft!
That’s it?
I barely qualified as an appetizer.

Scrumptious Gold

My little sister gave me a card with the following nugget of wisdom from one Polly McGuire: "Stories are like fairy gold. The more you give away, the more you have."

I suppose for scribblers that's a bit like having a cake, and eating it, too-- writing stories and reveling as the audience gobbles them up. But even better is when a reader gets to the end of a story and flicks aside the last period like a stray crumb, ready for another slice of syllables!

In the words of Oliver Twist, "Please Sir, I want some more." That's how I feel about stories like Kenneth Oppel's Airborn trilogy.

Chivalry--The Word

I'm a big fan of Paulo Coelho, especially his book The Alchemist! Today he had a stelliferous post about the Prayer Book of Medieval Chivalry I thought I'd share.

Enjoy!
