I've got one for the #TBBPrompt! It's about a thing too many of us know too well. I was too tired to crop out my battery life, so have fun with that. #WritingPrompt #Writer #Writing #BookBazaar26

There are times
When I seem quiet

I don't speak,
Don't move,
Get lost
in the endless scroll

I'm trying to do something,
Anything else
Than this

My mind is trudging
Through sticky, thick mud
In the the fields of fog

My body is heavy
From the efforts
My brain is taking

But I can't escape
This quiet hell
Of my own making

Not alone,
And not without
Significant effort

It was a mistake to listen to Dead Man's Bones. I'm trying to write an article, but I'm jammin' instead. I have retyped the same word several times, though! So, that's progress as far as writing goes.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a beetle is on the phone in his house. He says, “hey man— for the party tonight… don’t bring any poop.” Panel 2: on the other end of the call is a dung beetle. He responds, “really? You sure?” Panel 3: shrugging towards another dung beetle, the first dung beetle says, “he says they’re good on poop.” Somewhat incredulous, the second dung beetle says, “I just rolled it!” He is leaning against a mostly out of frame huge ball of poop.

Hi all, I'm TLS and I write stories about bad things happening to people. There's usually a monster involved I listen to a lot of different music. Usually when I'm writing I'll listen to either an indie-pop mix or 80s hits. I think I'm a punk rocker at heart, though #HorrorWritersChat
