*Magnificent Facade Lizard Guy drops from the ceiling*

Greetings! I am the Magnificent Facade Lizard Guy! Quite a mouthful, but if it were pizza, you wouldn’t mind. Bane of a bad guys that is I! Terror of grammar teachers, sorry by the way. I also am also mute!!! Yep, you heard that right, mute! So, “How in the wide world  are you speaking?”…[Read more]

Thank you citizens for your assistance! Up! UP! AND AWAY!!!

@freedomwriter76 * I fills traffic cone with ice-cream, then give it to the gibbon gang leader. He salutes me then @freedomwriter76, and run away cackling, leading his band of goons.*

@whalekeeper *licks clipboard* Sorry, but I don’t think it tastes good enough. *Hands clipboard to one of the rabid gibbon who promptly clips it to my poor nose.*

@mineralizedwritings Don’t worry, you don’t have to. I just realized that Crested Gibbons aren’t monkeys, they are apes. So, instead of the hairdryer I need a traffic cone!!!

@freedomwriter76 Well that’s nice, but I still need that hairdryer!  I can only hold these Crested Gibbons back for so long! 😬

The monkeys are in the pizza parlor! Grab a hairdryer!!! 🙉

@mineralizedwritings The post set off your alarms too?
I did do a little research on the guy, and found very little on this “top book cover illustrator in the UK” 🤨 On the upside, I went to where his links supposedly go to, and the website seems legit.

My guess from the website is that we…[Read more]

Um, not really. . . I think. Generally, I don’t know how my poem is going to end. I start with an idea or a couple of words/lines that I think are cool, then I just embellish and add stuff. Sometimes it flows. Sometimes it doesn’t.

I have a pretty good sense of rhythm (A blessing and a curse), and I have noticed that my poetry seems to…[Read more]

I need to have someone else to act a tad touched in the head, so that folks don’t think I’m the only one mad as a March hare! 🤪🐰😜

Assassin black
nose in the sky
with muscles vast
his voice cry “Fie!”
Who’s ravens rage
and thunders roll
fear and fright
fall at his call.

Bane of the books
Featherwig tales
KP trembles
at his hails.
Do not speak
of this yarn
or a sharp shaft
will do you harm.

He shows once more
at our shacks
knocks down the…[Read more]

Yep! It sound interesting. I might enjoy beta reading any scuffles or skirmishes!

@esther-c

Could you provide a short book bio? (What genre is it, what is the story about, who is your targets audience?)

The Finale of the Chaeropus
Written by Felicity
The dust-swamped desert drifts
As far as beady eyes can gaze.
With twisting tail, tall twitching toes,
Upon the slump of sand it stays.

The sun of amber-brown
On coarse combed coat reflects its shade.
The breath that beats beneath the breast
By bane and beast will be betrayed.

True tragedy- its…[Read more]

Awards Ceremony
Thank you to all who participated in the Great Word Winding Tournament! And, even if you didn’t write a poem about bandicoots, I still enjoyed reading your replies. So, now for the reward!
The Winner of the Great Word Winding Tournament is *Drum Roll*

@loopylin @folith-feolin @elanor and @lewilliams (If perhaps inspiration has indeed struck it’s blow . . . but hopefully it wasn’t too hard upon the pate.) Also, I believe one of our newcomers mentioned that they wrote poetry (Severed rose heads? 😋) @soleilnaia

Happy weekend! I hope that y’all who had church today had an awesome time!
Just a quick reminder, there are only 6 hours left in the Great Word Winding Tournament. I have had uno submission (Thank you @felicity !), so if nobody else sends anything in, I suppose I already know who wins 😋.
Hope y’all have a great rest of your day!

@booksbyjayna

Ah! Your rebuttal to my befuddle scuttles my nettle! Indeed I might at least spell newby with an ie (or mayhap I may pawn off my gaffe by inquiring if you are from northern England.)  Now, the real question is, “What might I accomplish at the most?”
