#WritingPrompt: #TheSeparation ✍️
Even smiles are being rationed these days, as the Haves separate themselves from the Have-Nots.
The "obstinate stare-down," that's the new and universal 'smile' of the masses.
The "Howdy, Neighbor!" smile is dead.
Curiously, the poorest and most vulnerable among us are silently disappearing. Now you see them; then you don't.

#WritingPrompt: #InfraYellow ✍️
"The Reset. It's like paintball," she said. "Except...there's no paint—and your mobile phone's the weapon."
"See, every few years there's an artificial famine. People get hungry. Everyone gets desperate and paranoid. Aggressive."
"When enough people start walking around with phones in their hands 'for protection,' a secret protocol's activated—The Reset begins."

#WritingPrompt: #Vox ✍️
"He's waking."
"I wonder if he can hear us..."•••
I remember the day I started hearing the voices of those I call 'Watchers'—like sports commentators—in my head.
First, I thought it was a prank. Hahaha...it's not funny.
They could describe everything I was seeing, doing and thinking.
"They can read my thoughts!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"What am I gonna do?"

#WritingPrompt: #BleatingSheeple ✍️
Long ago, I had a conversation with an exceptional man who believes humans are basically stupid. He said the few smart one's job is to look out for the rest.
The pronouncement made me cringe. Even the sound of 'stupid' is #controversial.
I politely objected. "Misled, yes. Misguided, maybe. We're pure untapped potential," I said.
That's how I felt until...

Today is National Encourage A Young Author Day!
Do you know a young storyteller? Give them some tools and validation! Give them a special notebook or journal (pro tip: tell them they’re actually allowed to write in it, even though real writers simply horde them). Promote a love of reading, because reading a variety of material hones their writerly instincts.
I still remember a number of people from my childhood that encouraged my writing. I won first place in my entire school district during fifth grade and placed second in the district in third grade. Teachers always gave me space to write freely. A guidance counselor in high school promised she’d look for my name in print someday. Mom instilled a love of reading (and we still chat about our latest reads today). Who knows where I’d be today if I hadn’t had so many supporters along the way?
In case you can’t read the tiny print in my pic, here it is: “Outstanding Student Author Recognition Program, District Winner - First Place”
“We wish to present this certificate for excellence in developing a plot line, language usage, style and proper mechanics while producing a book for this program. We hope that this is only the first of many such excellent endeavors to be crafted by this aspiring young author. Presented this sixteenth day of May, 1995.”
