A ghost but instead of deliberately trying to scare people they try to be a good host. Their haunts consist of ominous messages on walls asking to leave the room for 5-10 minutes while they prep something, creepy and distant laughter when someone makes a joke to ease the tension, and dinner tables set specifically for the amount of people who just broke in.

Finally starting to find my writing momentum again after getting hit by burnout out in mid-December. Not back up to full speed yet, but it's nice to be writing again.

TUMBLR, hype up Laura, post-haste!

Don't let the momentum die!

I told them you had too much food you couldn't possumbly finish by yourself, haha.

Say what you wanna say, but Comic Sans is legit a good friend in writing who helps you to focus

[3goblins1coat]

It was also based on the stylish lettering in comics published in the eighties, so while people get annoyed with its use for headings, its real purpose is closer to this kind of thing.

One moment, you’re with your MIL talking to your wife’s estranged sister about the two reconnecting and taking a sip of a drink she gave you. The next, you’re waking up in your wife’s arms as she carries you out of an exploding building covered in blood, her sister’s severed head on her belt.

Okay but what's the prompt?

[grimbuswimbus]

what a big momma and all her peembos!

Cool lunch ideas: freeze your left overs until they're an undistinguishable brick comprised of slop, so when you reheat them at work you rediscover what it was you ate all over again.

What could go wrong?

You’ll rewrite it later anyway, so stop staring at the blank page like it owes you money. Just start.
