Clarification Requested…. and Denied

It would seem the wayward ‘Christian’ author of Theology Archaeology is not quite done distorting our latest head-to-head. It seem he either has a short memory, or he is being dishonest, and I suspect I know which. In a long-winded yet ultimately meaningless rant, he bemoans my lack of understanding of his use of words, […]

Flights of Fancy

I have done my level-best to ignore the rantings of certain individuals, as I have found myself too entangled in time-consuming and fruitless ‘arguments’. This is despite plenty of provocation (see this angry response to a harmless post I made, as well as another angry rant on another post that had nothing to do with […]

Writing Prompts: Gastrodiplomacy

Today’s prompt is delivered (heh) by Dictionary.com, and it is a word that is relatively new to the literary scene: gastrodiplomacy. You are probably wondering what this mash-up of a word means.

Writing Prompts: Remote-Working

Inspired by this excellent post from one Soatok, this meerkat takes on the idea of remote-working. Remote-working is how many previously office-based workers were able to perform their duties during the covid pandemic.

Splenetic is defined as a formal word that typically describes expressions of sharp annoyance and anger. I dare say we’ve all experienced bursts of […]

Writing Prompts: Tiredness

Do you ever sometimes feel perpetually tired? I know fatigue sometimes overtakes me, that’s for sure. There have been occasions where my head hits the pillow, and I am out. On other occasions, I have laid awake until who-knows-when, unable to sleep at all, to the point where I have gotten out of bed and […]

Writing Prompts: Number One Priority

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? Well, tomorrow just so happens to be that most sacred of occasions: a day off work! My primary priority will be therefore be to unwind and relax. Whether or not that happens entirely in the manner I want, won’t be certain until tomorrow. Days off are quite important to me. […]

Striking a Nerve

The other day, I posted a Writing Prompt on the subject of criticism. It would seem this riled up one member of the peanut gallery, so I can only assume my words carried truth, or they would not have responded quite so hotly. The levels of hypocrisy from this particular troll have often been high, […]
