Vic and I set up a table and decorated it outside our front door last night, so I didn't have to keep getting up to answer the door. There are shrubs along the walkway to the front door so our table and chairs wasn't visible until they were at the front door. We managed to startle a few kids when we said Happy Halloween.
It was down to 54 degrees which isn't unbearably uncomfortable but there was a steady breeze, and my shawl just wasn't enough. I asked Vic if he wouldn't mind making us each a cup of tea. The man returns with Irish tea and gingersnap cookies... the perfect combination on a cool night as we played gin in between the kiddos. I couldn't believe how many were in costumes without sleeves. Oh, to be young again, and not notice the chill in the air.
A Warped Witch I Be You're absolutely right. It is sticker shock. What I bought I thought wouldn't be enough. So I ordered this time from Amazon another bag to be delivered ASAP on Friday. I hope they make it in time. Otherwise, if I run out, kids will be getting home-made cookies.
Prompt: Do you ever write stories just using dialogue? Write about this in your Blog entry today.
-----------
No, I don't do that. I like a healthy mixture of everything. I might have, however, tried doing that for a long-ago contest or Slam or something like that. I'll see if I have.
I just ran a search in my port and found one with no dialogue. It shows that no dialogue is not my strong point, either. "The Ice-Cream Truck"
I couldn't find the only-dialogue item; however, I do recall writing something like it. Chances are I might have deleted it.
So, since you asked, here's a short short I just cooked up right now. with only the dialogue.
"Who goes there, in my domain?"
"A friendly seeker."
"What is your business in my forest?"
"I seek the wisdom of the ancient ones."
"Do you have the password?"
"Ooops! I have forgotten."
"Forgetting the password, ha! Wait till I drown you in messy codes!"
