The past, the present and future walk into a bar. It was tense.

writing prompt friday: happily ever huh?

Welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday. One thing I think we can all agree on: Life is stressful. Especially now for many people. But not just now for everyone. So, this Writing Prompt Friday, let’s write a fairy tale based on this picture I’m randomly pulling from my media files.

I took this picture a few years ago after it snowed on my porch. Have fun. Bonus points for using the word pineapple and writing a happy ending.

Quick note of reassurance: I intentionally keep this blog free of all political opinions and religious views. There needs to be at least one place, even if it’s exceedingly small, where we can think about other things.

This blog is a bubble, for you and for me. And except for this disclaimer (that I will occasionally include to remind everyone this is a safe space), that’s the way this blog will stay. Everyone gets to take a break here.

Faithfully yours,
Ducky

Now for a gratuitous picture of my cat because cat pics make the internet better.
