Four Line Fiction (2352)

Welcome to Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. The concept for the challenge is simple. Every second Tuesday (bi-weekly) I will post an image I have captured myself, featured from another blog or plucked from the Interweb. You as the writer are to use that image as a point of inspiration to craft a masterpiece of fiction in four lines. And now for this week’s image…

Image: Unknown

This week’s image is a pair of Keen (no I am not receiving any kind of advertising revenue) hiking boots that are walking on air about six inches above the trail. Furthermore, there is no one wearing the brown leather boots with clean black soles. Well perhaps the invisible man, but that is unconfirmed.

Be creative and have fun. I look forward to reading the tales you spin. Don’t forget to show your fellow bloggers some love -❤️- take some time to read, like, and comment on their masterpieces.

T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday (2352)

Welcome to the bonus Christmas Day edition of T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday. This holiday edition is precisely what it sounds like. Just like the regular feature that goes live every other Wednesday (bi-weekly) this bonus is specifically designed for Christmas. The quote has been plagiarized directly from the chest of a woman I know however the design is entirely my own.

Hey Santa, it’s never too late to change…

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and for those who don’t may the joy of the holiday season fill you with happiness!

Hope you enjoyed this Christmas Day edition. Your suggestions for future posts are always welcome. If you come across something you think is worthy of being pasted across someone’s chest and paraded around publicly jot it down and send me a message. If it makes the cut, I will whip up a graphic design template and use it in a future post. Any suggestions used will include a shout-out and link to your blog on the week it posts.

T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday (2351)

Welcome to another edition of T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday. This hump day feature is precisely what it sounds like. Every other Wednesday (bi-weekly) I will post a graphic that is funny, poignant, witty, honest, crude, toothsome, with bite, or just plain old ridiculous. Some I’ll have plagiarized directly from a chest near you. Others may not have been spotted in the wild but should be out there. This week’s graphic design is in keeping with the holiday spirit…

That Santa… I wonder if he put himself on the naughty list?

Season’s greetings from Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. May the holidays bring joy and happiness to you and your families.

The concept for the challenge is simple. Every second Tuesday (bi-weekly) I will post an image I have captured myself, featured from another blog or plucked from the Interweb.

This week’s image is an evening winter scene. A pair of carrot nosed snowmen, possibly father and son, are dressed in blue scarves and hats standing outside a white picket fence and next to an old tree that is partially obscuring a small house filled with light in the background. To the left, a mailbox sits next to a gate adorned with a Christmas wreath and a glowing lantern hanging from the trellis above.

Be creative and have fun. I look forward to reading the tales you spin. Don’t forget to show your fellow bloggers some love -❤️- take some time to read, like, and comment on their masterpieces.

T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday (2349)

Welcome to another edition of T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday. This hump day feature is precisely what it sounds like. Every other Wednesday (bi-weekly) I will post a graphic that is funny, poignant, witty, honest, crude, toothsome, with bite, or just plain old ridiculous. Some I’ll have plagiarized directly from a chest near you. Others may not have been spotted in the wild but should be out there.

I posted a mom innuendo T-shirt a couple of editions ago and Chel at chelowens.com mentioned in the comments that she had ordered a “Pregnant as a Motha'” in anticipation of a new Owens family addition. In celebration of boy number seven soon, I designed this graphic in four different colours. If you know Chel the baby blue is featured for obvious reasons. Congrats Chel.

Suggestions are always welcome. If you come across something you believe should be pasted across someone’s chest and paraded around publicly jot it down and send me a message. If it makes the cut, I will whip up a graphic design template and use it in a future post. Any suggestions used will include a shout-out and link to your blog on the week it posts.

Four Line Fiction (2348)

Welcome to Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. This is the third installment since its return and the image this week is extremely compelling as is the story that accompanies it. The concept for the challenge remains the same. I will post an image I have captured myself, featured from another blog or plucked from the Interweb. You as the writer are to use that image as a point of inspiration to craft a masterpiece of fiction in four lines. Without further adieu, this weeks image…

Image: Unknown

November 12th, 1833 is known at “The Night the Stars Fell.” On that night a meteor shower blanketed North America with an astonishing display. One Illinois newspaper described the sky as “being ablaze” another from Alabama eloquently described the event as “Thousands of luminous bodies shooting across the firmament in every direction.” It is estimated some 72,000 meteors fell from the heavens per hour. Today we know the November meteor event as the Leonids. It occurs as every year as Earth passes through debris left in the wake of the Tempel-Tuttle comet. The display peaks in intensity every 33 years though none have rivaled the 1833 event.

This week’s image is taken from a hand drawn newspaper image from the period. The image shows settlers from a small town looking up into the heavens as shooting stars fill the night sky, like rain falling from above.

Be creative and have fun. I look forward to reading the tales you spin. Don’t forget to show your fellow bloggers some love -❤️- take some time to read, like, and comment on their masterpieces.

T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday (2343 Redux)

Welcome to another bonus edition of T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday. About a month ago I posted a clunky looking T-Shirt design. Trust me, it was not my best design, but I ran with it. In the aftermath Chel at chelowens.com commented on something of a better idea for the design…

…and so, I set out to redesign the graphics. At first glance at the comment, I mis-read “car” as “cat” and produced this…

Then I re-read the comment moments before publishing and caught my error. It was back to the drawing board and another tweak with a cute car, well a sparkly SUV, and I produced this…

I hope you enjoyed this bonus Sunday re-design edition of #gbtww. Let me know in the comments which you like the best. The original, kitten or SUV re-design?

Suggestions are always welcome. If you come across something you think is worthy of being pasted across someone’s chest and paraded around publicly jot it down and send me a message. If it makes the cut, I will whip up a graphic design template and use it in a future post. Any suggestions used will include a shout-out and link to your blog on the week it posts.

Four Line Fiction (2346)

Welcome to Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. It has been difficult to keep up with this feature that disappeared mid-summer. I brought it back two weeks ago as a bi-weekly but with a promotion at work and other commitments it is dropping two days late this week. My apologies to all those who follow along. It will return to its normal Tuesday 9:00am Eastern Time (Canada/United States) time slot two weeks from now.

The concept is the same. I will post an image I have captured myself, featured from another blog or plucked from the Interweb. You as the writer are to use that image as a point of inspiration to craft a masterpiece of fiction in four lines.

This week’s image depicts a storefront at night. The first letter of store’s sign is not working while the remaining portion of the blue illuminated sign poses the question “ARE FEET SHOES?”

Be creative and have fun. I look forward to reading the tales you spin. Don’t forget to show your fellow bloggers some love -❤️- take some time to read, like, and comment on their masterpieces.

T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday (2345)

It is anniversary season at Greg’s Blog. A couple of weeks ago Five Word Weekly turned one. This week T-Shirt Wisdom flips the calendar for the first time. Happy Anniversary #gbtww. The next logical step would be to start selling these bad ass graphic tees… Never say never, but right now it seems too much like work.

I appreciate everyone who visits every other Wednesday to see what funny, poignant, witty, honest, crude, toothsome, with bite, or just plain old ridiculous graphic we’ve concocted. While the graphics are always mine, I admit that some of the tidbits of wisdom imparted may have been plagiarized from a chest near you. Others may not have been spotted in the wild but should be out there.

This one is for that Happy 1st Anniversary. Ladies, a matching set for you and that whipped boy in your life is in order, (and for clarity guys, we are all whipped!)

Suggestions are always welcome. If you come across something you think is worthy of being pasted across someone’s chest and paraded around publicly jot it down and send me a message. If it makes the cut, I will whip up a graphic design template and use it in a future post. Any suggestions used will include a shout-out and link to your blog on the week it posts.
