Good Morning from the towers of A Word with You Press in Oceanside, California
Less than a week to get in your entry to our contest Tempus Fugit…Will You? It’s all about time travel, and isn’t it time you traveled to those keys and pulled up the rules of the contest and submitted your own [...]
Literati!
As some of you have discovered, I traveled back in time and allowed each participant in our contest to submit two entries instead of just one in our contest Tempus Fugit…Will You? Nicholas Bertrand got the memo, and here is is second entry, which he calls:
Literati!

Newcomer to our site Tenley Newton made that discovery herself during time travel. I had my doubts, but then I [...]

I remember these words from over ten years ago when the books editor of the San Diego Union Tribune told me to send him my ss # (no, not that SS) after I had written my first review.
But if you want to get paid for the creative things you do, and are [...]

The Tutu Factory, East Hell’s biggest employer, was gone now, and wasn’t coming back. The connivery that had produced this sad state of affairs had thrown hundreds out of work, savaged the tutu markets, and the result was an angry populace looking for answers and revenge.
In their collective retro wisdom, however, there was [...]

Good early morning from Oceanside, California
Literati! We have a new entry into our contest Tempus Fugit…Will You? Diane Smith was inspired by the master-flasher Sal Buttaci to send this in. Blessed is he/she who invents new words (truthiness, anyone?). We can now add crispified and wrinkler to our lexicon, thanks to Diane, who calls [...]

Good evening all, from The Word in Oceanside, California. We are four blocks from the beach, but if I can get my passport in order, I intend to travel forward in time so that global warming will have rendered us as beach front property, and I shall then resume my duties.
Nicholas Bertrand has entered [...]

I just received this poem and couldn’t wait to share it with all of you. This truly gave me chills when I read it. It’s……….well [...]

Good evening from Oceanside
“Is this gonna thrill me?”
“Read my psalms”, said Gideon, “and the truth shall be repealed–oops!–revealed!”
Unless you know a bit about our current contest, this has gotta sound nonsensical. That’s the good news. The bad news?–oh!–wait!–Let Terrie Leigh Relf tell it! This is her entry into our contest Tempus Fugit…Will [...]

Late in the evening, here at HQ in Oceanside, but think not that I have forgotten to post a contest entry. Just finished one of our weekly writer’s meet-up groups and just now getting to the task of posting. It’s likely Julie M Cohen likes alliteration a lot [...]

Good morning from The Word in Oceanside, California
Mac Eagan enters a closet in our contest Tempus Fugit…Will You? in much the way Lucy enters the same in The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe, except that rather than entering a different world, Mac enters a different time. He [...]

Michael Stang is threatening to be a finalist for the third time in a row with this contest entry for Tempus Fugit…Will You? Apparently, when Asparagons talk, people listen. I suppose they are envious of those who can time travel back to their Holland days. But here is what happens when your gravity fails [...]

The fervor with which I, Hanover Klingst, Jr. Esq., addressed my work as a political operative was not so much a child of my own, but an orphan whose actions had been dictated by external events. To quote Charles DeGaulle, “In politics it is necessary either to betray one’s country or the electorate. I prefer [...]

Good morning all from Oceanside.
I thought I would insert this between contest entries, at the request of our frequent visitor and friend, Kyle Katz.
A reminder that it is National Heart Month. And here is a photo of her mother to make your own heart beat a little faster:
