Writing is a game - 100 words

Writing is a game played on the keyboard. The rules are pretty flexible and will often change from one round to another. Sometimes it's best to throw the rules out the window and dance around the page till you bump your head on something sharp. Fall down, get up and flail about once again. Maybe this time you will trip over an ottoman and launch into 300 words on Mary Tyler Moore and the sacrilege of the Rob and Laura beds. Really, how did they ever have a son? Where was I? Oh yes, playing around with mind and page.

Bone jewelry and enemas - 100 words

The only thing creepier than dreams about ninjas attacking me in motel rooms is the ads that are showing up on my computer after researching those dreams online. Handsome men and ugly women in shining armor on motorcycles trying to sell me hot yoga, human bone jewelry and enemas.

To deflect the ads I searched for Katy Perry and Hello Kitty but that just made things worse. I can't even describe the images the internet tried to sell me. So I searched for monster trucks and punk rock. Now I'm being offered doom and gloom but it's better than enemas.
