  1. Eric,

    Such an interesting blog. Great writing from you and the others.

    Sorry it took me so long to say thanks for liking My Cat in the Castle story.

    1. Thank you, Pat for your return visit and no worries about taking so long to get back. I wasn’t expecting this and it has been a lovely surprise.

      All good wishes with the Photo Calender Contest,
      Eric

    1. Glad to have you pop in, Cynthia.

      Yes, I was fortunate to receive support and contributions from many talented and generous souls.

      Looking forward to having you with us when time permits.

      Peace,
      Eric

  2. Fascinating stuff in these slips–thanks for sharing them. And also for liking my little piffle of a flash fiction story on my blog. 🙂

  3. Got to get into flash fiction–seems like fun, and yet great exercise. Joining you because of your award to David.

  4. This is a great idea, Eric! Sharing and exchanging is some of the best parts about blogging. These are some wonderful words from a variety of voices…..makes a writer feel less alone : )

  5. Hi Eric. I know I’m late for this, but I got to thinking about “writing” on the way home today and wanted to share with you. I’ve been writing 100 word pieces, so this was an interesting new exercise for me.

    Write, she told me
    and I ignored her advice.
    But she was there at my birth
    and she knew what was good
    and that her milk would only nourish me
    for so long.

    [xnihilo]

    1. Hello Xandra,

      I just popped over to read two of your latest 100-worders – enjoyed both. Looks like I’ll be a regular reader of your works 🙂

      This contribution is lovely – a mother and child – what a truly fresh approach.

      All good wishes,
      Eric

      1. Dear Eric,

        Thank you for considering me one of your regulars. I am honored to be included in this fine gathering of writers.

        It is always my pleasure to include your site in my own blogs, as many others should indeed stop by there and peruse your excellent offerings. To read your words, and the words of others can only inspire other writers.

        Thank you also for the comments about my ‘bite’ blog. That was a quick and fun exercise. I suppose a li’l Brothers Grinn (Sex & Fidelity) still rubbed off on me–so to speak–and I continued the erotic theme. 🙂

        I consider you a kindred spirit and brother and I am gratified to know that you are indeed a dear friend.

        Best to you in your current book, and all your other creative WIPs. (And that has nothing to do with a quirt, mind you…) 🙂

        Take care, and have a lovely weekend,
        Paul
