Okay, how about we all sit in a circle, legs crossed, and have a chat. C’mon.

Get in here. This is serious.
Ready?

WRITERS SEARCH SOME WEIRD SHIT. REALLY REALLY REALLY WEIRD SHIT. SCARY SHIT, IN FACT. REALLY SCARY.
*pounds drums mercilessly because doesn’t know the first thing about a drum roll. or drums.*
10. Known Unicorn Sightings
Because everyone should have a dream and, because North Korea says, “This video [about a unicorn sighting] is totally actually super real.” Those crazy North Koreans are always up to something
9. Ten Words You Should Cut From Your Writing
I wanted to see just how many times this was blogged about in the past three days, and, who in fact stole it from who. And, if those hacks blog about anything remotely interesting. #getfuckingcreativepeeps
8. Shit People Carry In Their Pockets
Let’s be honest, if it was actual shit…well, that’d just be really fucking weird. And stinky. It’d be very stinky.

1. Can Alka Seltzer Kill Pigeons

top ten list comments: check out a writer named dale rappaneau for an entertaining flash fiction piece on a unicorn sighting. cut from your writing words such as “cut” (imprecise), “from” (overused preposition), “words” (wordy), “writing” (narcissistic) and “your” (second person – visibility issue). i hope crack cocaine is still a common pocket item; otherwise i’m switching to crystal meth for good. analyzing a crime scene requires a personality type similar to that who would criminalize an anal scene. we covered crack cocaine back in the eighties; how about a new name for X? you should make ‘lethal injection’ your signature drink; ”I’ll have a lethal injection, shaken not stirred.” courtney love, right (death makeup)? cockroaches are brown, and if you meet a cuban, ask him/her to talk about crushing cockroaches, and you’ll get to relive scarface all over again, warm & fuzzy violent images. brilliant definition of nomophobia – no comment. pigeons are just the first step for alka seltzer, right; please tell me polar bears are next – i’m sick of them.
