Boo!

Minnie is in Halloween Garb

Happy Friday everyone! It is the last Friday of the month and Minnie is here once again to play some Gibberish with you. Don't know how? It's easy, just continue the story with a sentence or two after the last comment that was made and don't worry because gibberish does not have to make sence! Minnie will make sence of your gibberish at the end of the game. Want to play? Let's have some fun and see where our creative minds takes us.

Boo...

Ghosts do not bleed so Boo was not afraid of the giant candy apple with sharp teeth that snapped at thin air as it chased her into... 

 (Your Turn!)

Enjoy your week-end everyone and come back Next week to see what happens to Boo.

Troll Party With Minnie

Here we go Minnie fans! Finally she gives up looking for more gamers and ends the story on her own. This is how she and her loyal friends made a story about a lonely troll.

The Troll

 

The troll wiped the snot from his smiling face. He flung it at the mushrooms growing out of the walls of his tiny cave and stormed towards the exit, hoping they would follow him to the movie theater--- Maybe if they saw the dancing mushrooms in Fantasia, they would also start to dance. But the mushrooms had other ideas. they didn't appear to want to dance, in fact they didn't seem to want to do anything remotely fun. 

"You ain't no fungi!" the troll sniffed. "I'm going to squash you into the ground with my club." 

The troll raised his trunk-like club, swung, and missed the mushrooms as they flared into bright green hulk sized terror with snapping jaws that quickly approached him. The troll laughed, he had another plan as he threw down his club and dug in his nose for some more snot. He threw it against the far side of the cave and the music began to play, colored lights filled the once dark space around them, the magic snot made Sponge Bob appeared and the mushrooms couldn't help themselves but want to dance.

Finally the lonely troll had company for a party!

Thanks to Alex Cavanaugh, Suzanne Furness, and Michael Di Gesu for playing!

 

This is Gibberish, come back on the last friday of this month if you want to play!

Minnie's Beast in the Belly

After a long vacation Minnie is here again and ready to play some Gibberish. It is the last friday of May and with BBQ season around the corner it is time to start grilling some fun.Want to join her? Just keep the story going in the comments. Not sure how? Check out the rules HERE-

The Beast in the Belly

As soon as the coals ignited and various accessories were tossed with bits of flesh on the hot bars of aluminum, the beast in the stomach started to growl. It needed to be satisfied by……….(YOUR TURN)

You have all week-end to play. Minnie will be back on Monday with the final story.

As for other news on my side of the world; my daughter is pregnant (has nothing to do with the beast in the belly) so I am going to be a grandma on this side of the ocean as well. She is due in November so everyone cross your fingers with me for a healthy pregnancy.

Also my book "Secrets of the Ash Tree"is finished and with the editors. My daughter is working on the book cover so hopefully I will be able to reveal that soon. Here is my blurb:

In the realm of gods and fairy tales the mystery of life is an endless path with many secrets to be discovered. Some secrets are like dreams, just waiting in darkness hoping to get into the light. 

“Secrets of the Ash Tree” is the story about Liv, a young woman who discovers her true nature through the unraveling of hidden secrets. Her adventures begin when she digs up a chest that was buried by her father under the old ash tree in her garden. What she finds inside the chest changes her life forever.  Liv discovers one secret after another and is thrown into a world full of dangerous and strange creatures, mighty Norse warriors and perils beyond her belief. What started out as a fairy tale in her father’s journal was to become her legacy, a guide line to survival, and a map to the world she was about to enter. Each day, each mystery, each encounter will ultimately reveal her true destiny, and behind the edge of a sword awaits a familiar stranger waiting to share that destiny with her.

Have a great week-end and see you again on Monday.

Minnie and The Green Smile

It occurred to me that many of you do not know who Minnie is or have heard about her club, “Controlled Patriots of Standard Word Abuse- C.P.S.W.A.” Minnie appears usually on the last Friday of every month to share with you some of her “Minnie Words of Wisdom,” (Minnie-isms) and to play a game of gibberish with those who dare to think outside the box. Gibberish is a writing game that puts together a story using nonsense that makes sense. Minnie starts the story for you and each player contributes a few lines in the comment section that continue the story from the last comment posted. Click HERE for an example. This game continues over the week-end and Minnie finishes it off, posting the results on Monday. Sound like fun? Anyone can play this game and become a member of Minnie’s club. If you do it would be nice if you could support one of her banners on your page, but you don’t have too. So now let me tell you about Minnie.

This is Minnie

Minnie usually wears Red, but sometimes she may surprise you.  She may look tough but actually she is quite insecure. That is probably why she is such a grumpy old thing. I met Minnie years ago on the internet, where she came from before that I do not know. She seemed to be hiding out, homeless and ignored. Whenever I found myself cruising around in the image ghetto looking for a fix, I would run into her. Finally she just followed me home and has been living in my photos ever since. Every now and then Minnie likes to come out to play a game, share her opinions, or just be nasty. She is a big fan of the A-Z challenge and has a secret crush on all ninja’s, one with the name of Alex especially. Minnie is a rebel and does not abide by anyone’s rules. Minnie is on my case all the time. She tells me that I am selfish and that I should not spend so much time at my computer or on my hobbies. She tells me that I should study more, clean more, pay more attention to my family, and make more money. She also likes to point out all my bad habits and she teases me constantly. “Eat better, you are gaining weight, do you really need that chocolate now?" She spits out words like venom and tells me, “You look like an old hippie, get your hair cut and colored, put on some make-up and wear something other than jogging pants!” For the most part, I just ignore her until she goes away. It usually does not take long since she would rather be out traveling or at a party than hanging around here. 

Because next week-end is Labor Day week-end and time for the big book fair and blogfest, Minnie is here now to play some gibberish with those who care to join in. Let's see what those creative little noodles of yours can come up with to challenge Minnie. Time for some Gibberish! Come back on Monday for the results and for a special book cover reveal. Until then, have a fantastic week-end!

THE GREEN SMILE

Spots of anger tried once again to sneak inside the clowns green velvet smile. The smile wore a secret between its teeth and anger wanted it back. Taking all its tools of despair, the spots of anger crawled under the green velvet and found to his surprise……(Your turn)

EYE SPY GHOSTS

Minnies Ghost is returning after a long holiday

Hope everyone had a relaxing Memorial Day Week-end. Here is your little story from Norway that I should have posted for you on Monday, but was too tired. Norwegians celebrated the week-end a bit different. Most of them just got off the party bus yesterday because holidays usually last two days.  Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Twelve apostles and other followers of Jesus as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1–31.[2] For this reason, Pentecost is sometimes described as the "Birthday of the Church."  I had to look this up because I only know the holiday referred to by its Norwegian name, which is Pinse. There are many holidays in Norway during the month of May and to honest with you, I have a hard time keeping up with them.  Labor Day, Constitution Day, Liberation Day, Women’s Day, Ascension Day, Pentecost, and White Monday are all holidays celebrated this month. Although many of these days are religiously connected to Easter, most Norwegians do not celebrate time in church. There is a lot of talk these days about the church and state being separated from each other. Since I am not very religious or political, I have no outspoken views to come with regarding that matter. I am just tired of all these holidays, not to mention the birthdays that happen this month as well! You have probably figured out by now that May is a crazy month for me. You can read about some of that HERE on My Gutsy Story. If you want to vote for "My" Gutsy Story, voting starts May 31st.

My spying skills are also a bit off because someone hid my pink panther suit. Don’t worry, I found it and after a few repairs and a good wash it is perfectly wearable. You should all be aware that my Eye Spy posts might change during the day...depending on what I find and when I find it. Here is what I found first, Knights of MicroFiction is back.  On the 15th of every month you can take up your writing sword and become a knight with Kathy Mckendry and Jess. Something definitely worth checking out and you can read about it at Imagine Today. I also spy Minnie who is aching for some gibberish fun, and that game starts on Friday. I have no idea what my little band of "Patriots of Standard Word Abuse" will come up once Minne gets them started! Fun, guaranteed!

You can look HERE for past games.

Minnies Fan Club-Frida, Einar and Bert

Let me know if there are places you want the Pink Panther to visit. Any news you want to share? Will you be another Knight of Microfiction, or how about playing with Minnies crazy gang? 

Here is something more for you to check out! CHRISTI GODDARD Has just released her book Four in the morning. This one looks like a great read!
