“If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.”
Martin Luther King
Thank you for the pearls of wisdom, Spidey!
I know that a few words from you might not feel like you are changing the world, but they may just change your world.
You see, your words, once published, could lead to followings or sales, that change your life.
And there are plenty of us out there, who want to be best-selling authors, or have posts that go viral, for good reason.
But, in order to even have a chance, you need to actually write those words, and get them out there.
I am nervously excited about the book release, and those who have read it in advance, are already asking if there is any more to come from the characters.
You see, some of the secondary characters have developed quite a personality, and want to be written about too. And I have the ideas, the basic outlines of at least two stories to follow, I just need to put pen to paper and write!
Only then, will I get a chance to change my world, and hopefully, change the world a little too, by bringing smiles on to the faces of my readers.
So… tell me, what would you try and change in this world, or yours, with words?

I’ve decided to combine two prompts for this one piece of syllabic poetry, a haiku/senryu with feeling, Hairyu, anyone?
I have combined the photo from Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt, and entered this in to Colleen#s weekly syllabic poetry challenge, #TankaTuesday. This week it is Poet’s choice of words!

Charli’s Carrot Ranch 99 word fiction prompt this week:
January 9, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a carried wife. Why is she being carried? Who is carrying? Pick a genre if you’d like and craft a memorable character. Go where the prompt leads!
Nina giggled as Rakesh swept her up into his arms.
“Come on, Wifey, let’s get you inside.”
“Stop it!” She jumped down as soon as they stepped over the threshold, and turned towards him. “Why did you carry me over? We’re not English, you know!”
“Oh, I thought that’s what people do when they get married.”
“Have you never been to an Indian wedding before? Come on. I know you were born in the US, but surely you know some of the traditions,” she took his hand. “I know. If your parents were alive, it would have been different…”
