Proud of this one.

TFW your little response to a writing prompt has the most likes.

Sometimes I love the little drabbles I make. Sometimes they hurt.
This time was both, and I had to record it and listen to it. My accent needs to be thicker, rougher.

All submissions will receive a response within 24 hours

Did I log into my alt just for a joke?
You bet your bippy I did!

I brought a banjo to a dueling piano fight.

Yum!

Next time!

Ha, I got roasted. She said it was bland.

Basic Mexican food-picadillo A pan on a stove top is full of corn, potatoes, and ground beef. A lid keeps everything contained.

In an attempt to enhance the child's exposure to her heritage, I am going to start cooking more Mexican food.
Tonight we have picadillo.

Thank you. But it's part of the journey.
A week after I submitted it I had an idea for someone to change in the story. But I didn't want to withdraw it to make the change because the submission window was tight. So I decided to wait. Now I have the chance to evolve the story.

ONE OF MY SUBMISSIONS HAD BEEN REJECTED
THE OTHER STILL WAITING IN QUE
THIS HAS BEEN A YELLING UPDATE

What if the singularity occurred before humanity rose to sapience?
What if all of reality is a simulation?

SUBMITTING IS PAIN

I've just submitted another story.

8/7 every fiber of existence, the space between, and outside of reality

Not full, but at least at the start of every chapter. Possibly more. I dunno yet.

I never did find it, it was a search link that bypasses the ai overview. It's still working for me. I'll poke around and see if I can remember the process enough to tell you how to do it.

Gimme a sec to find something.

I made a weird...but hopefully fun...choice today. I'm going to see the one wrestling manager who everybody loved perform in concert on the 19th.

Cyndi fuckin' Lauper!

The cover of the spooky kids’ book IT’S NOT SCARY. A happy green monster kid rides a big tidal wave of creatures toward an alarmed human kid.

I think the best part of SDCC was when a kid came to our table and read the entirety of IT’S NOT SCARY to her 4-year-old cousin. She did all the voices and everything, practically pro quality! Couldn’t believe it. Anyway hire that kid for something!

XD
At least he ain't like me. I was verbose for a 2yr old. Then a grunter as a 3yr old.(I was spoiled)

I wanna say that there have been studies, but it's been so long I can't remember many details, that children who were taught "baby sign" have a more solid foundation for communication.
My theory, the more kinds of communication a child is exposed to, the more they know is possible.
