Drive on. The Johnny Cash song popped into my head immediately on reading this week's prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G Hill:. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “drive.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun! It's a sad, bitter, maybe even bittersweet, song about surviving Vietnam. It's also…

Allow Me to Collect Myself SoCS
Is collect calling even a thing still? After rewatching both Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: The Next Generation last year and earlier this year, we have better comms tech than their stupid badges -- though the audio was always good. Plus, why did they always have those dinky-ass hand-held flashlights when exploring a dark…

Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner – Stream of Cosciousness Saturday #SoCS
After a long hiatus caused by nothing more than laziness and too much staring at the TV (and a few actual life stresses), going to give SoCS another go this year. After all, these are fun to "write" -- your mileage on reading may vary. As you may have guessed, "in the corner" was today's…

Of Caves and Cavemen: Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
"CAPTAIN, CAAAAAAVVVVVVVEEEEMAAAAANNNNNNNNN!" Today's prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill is "cave." Use it as a subject, verb, or whatever.

The Great S Hunt and the Lie of Practice Makes Perfect #SOCS
When I first saw the prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday, I immediately thought of the days of my life I spent switching “s” out for “z” (and vice versa) editing the European version of e-doc. What a huge PITA (not the tasty platform for hummus). Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday (on a Sunday) post…

What’s Up With This Joint? #SoCS
Pass the Kutshie by the left hand side. The first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompt was the obvious thing: memories -- sometimes hazy -- of various adventures with weed. Though most "adventures" involved sitting on the couch, while eating Cheetos and/or any candy I could shovel into my mouth. I also…

M Is for Mistakes: The Cheeky A-Z Guide for Content Marketing
I hate to make mistakes. Even more than that, I hate to be wrong. I’ll sometimes freeze at making a decision because I don’t want to make the wrong one. I bet many of you reading this get stuck the same way (if not, please share how you decide to . . . decide). As…
