Write at the Merge Wrap Up, Week 19
This week, I gave us one of my favorite passages from REM’s The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite: Baby, instant soup doesn’t really grab me today. Today I need something more substantial: a can of beans or black eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice, a candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Dr. Seuss. And…
It’s Oh So Quiet
It’s been a ghost town around here this week. For that, we all apologize, but we’ve been busily compiling the Precipice submissions for review. Our heartfelt thanks to all who submitted. We can’t wait to get started, though the decision-making process is always daunting. How soon is too soon to talk about the next volume?
Write at the Merge Week 19
Sorry for the technical difficulties, writing friends! This week, Write at the Merge, is offering you our customary 500 words and open linky through Thursday at midnight PACIFIC. Bring your creative nonfiction, fiction, or poetry prompted by either or both of the week’s inspirations. But what are they? This week, one of my favorite passages…
Write at the Merge Wrap Up, Week 17
Two evocative photos this week for your prompting pleasure. Did you all enjoy writing? I did. Last time, I used random.org to choose two link-ups to highlight, and it was so much fun, I decided to do it again. As of the time I’m scheduling, there are 18 pieces. Here are the results: Jennifer Dillon…
The Orphan File
Angela talked on Tuesday about how organizing and decluttering her house reminds her of editing. She’s packing up some of her treasures because they don’t work for the house’s needs right now. Maybe, in a new space, they will have different meaning, maybe they won’t seem as precious in a different context, maybe she’ll unpack…
Write at the Merge, Week 17
More photos! I’m on a photo kick! Bear with me! For those who are new here, Write at the Merge is a writing prompt for creative writers. We offer two items for a prompt response. You can use either, or both, to inspire your response. Fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry are welcome, and there’s a 500…
A Final Precipice Reminder
This “13″ should be pretty familiar by now. I may have to incorporate it into the cover design… As of today, 12 days remain to submit your essay, memoir, short story, or poem for consideration. We are structuring this year’s collection around the idea of “luck.” That doesn’t mean good luck, or being lucky, for…

Write at the Merge Wrap Up, Week 15
I feel like Sally Field at the oft-misquoted and parodied 1985 Oscars. “You like me right now, you like me!” Happy birthday to me to have such yummy treats to read tomorrow while my little guy is off with his grandparents. Valerie suggested I dole out cake, but as cake can be tricky via wifi,…
