Bella and Alice (and Lily)
Bella: God, I hope we don’t see him tonight.
Alice: Which one?
Bella:Pfft, either of them. How do I keep picking such losers?
Alice: You didn’t exactly pick Edward.
Bella: But Edgar I did. What an asshole.
Alice: Maybe he didn’t just stand you up.
Bella: What are you saying, Edward got him and (hooks two fingers on each hand) “made him a vampire”?
Lily:(pops up behind their seat) Good evening, ladies.
Both jump.
Alice: What the hell do you want?
Lily: I just thought you’d want to know there’s a maniac on the loose.
Bella: Besides you?
Lily: (hisses) Yes, besides me. She’s been chasing Edward and I around with a stake. She wants to kill us. But we’ll get her first. No need to fear, ladies.
Alice:(wipes forehead) Phew! I was shaking in my boots.
Lily: I can smell sarcasm.
Bella: Wait a minute. Wasn’t I your mortal enemy a few weeks back?
Lily: This one’s more of a threat. I’ll deal with you later. Myself.
Alice: (to Bella) I smell a shit stain. Do you smell a shit stain?
Today is Friday, and that means it’s time for your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I’ve been totally swamped with work for the past couple of weeks and I realize I’m waaay behind on replying to many of your kind and wonderful comments. I promise to get caught up soon! In the meantime, here’s your prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “so far.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here at this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!
To make your post more visible, use our new SoCS badge! Just paste it in your Saturday post so people browsing the reader will immediately know your post is stream of consciousness and/or pin it as a widget to your site to show you’re a participant. Wear it with pride!!
1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.
2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.
3. There will be a prompt every week. I will post the prompt here on my blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” “Begin with the word ‘The’,” or simply a single word to get your started.
4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours. Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on my post.
6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!
7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.
When your best friend spends five minutes explaining that it will take four people to put the cat on the back of the pickup truck and one person to bolt it down, and for five minutes you’re totally confused, only to figure out that he said “cap,” not “cat.”
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our very cool badge to your post for extra exposure!
Hillary sits at the window. Sean takes the seat beside her.
Sean: So how’d it go with your lover boy the other night?
Hillary: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Sean: He said no, didn’t he.
Hillary: I still don’t know what you’re talking about.
Sean: Did he show you his “thing”? (chuckles)
Hillary turns to the window, ignoring him.
Sean: I hear he likes showing it off.
Hillary continues to ignore him.
Sean: What’s his stupid name again?
Hillary:(snapping at him) It’s Jake, and it’s none of your business!
Sean: He said no. I knew it!
Hillary: Go fuck yourself.
Sean: I think you’re the one who needs the fu…
Hillary: FUCK OFF!
Sean: Oooh, touchy! All right. Fine. I’ll back off. (looks to the front of the bus) Hey, look who’s getting on!
Hillary: (sits up straight and sees a mother and daughter: strangers, boarding the bus) Fuck off. (she pushes him out of the seat as he doubles up laughing) Asshole.
