50 to 1

So I was sitting in class, contemplating why my life has become so unproductive and pointless, when I decided to make a long 'To Do List' of everything I could think of. This could range from things as simple as taking a nap or getting coffee to things as complex as papers due at the end of the semester or submitting an application to become decomP's new print prose editor. Anyway, the point of my worthless rant is that 'Update 50-to-1' was on the list.

So that's what I did just now. Check out several new 50 word storys and/or 1st lines. They won't let you down.

Also, while we're on topic, I am now making this post an official call for submissions over at 50-to-1. We have seen a decline recently and that makes me a sad panda. So if you dabble in the field of flash fiction at all, please take some time and submit something. Chances are you'll be one more step closer to fame.

And be sure to tell people about it. Get lots of people to submit and you win a surprise!

Only boring people get bored

Inspiration is stealing. I am a thief. I will breathe in your ideas and blow them into a green balloon until it pops. And when it does, I will catch all of them with a giant butterfly net and eat every single one, one by one.

Then I will digest them and their nutrients will soak through every cell in my body until I sweat, bleed and piss all of your ideas away.

Inside my brain, the leftovers will mold into a style of creativity and then become expelled through either my fingertips or my vocal chords.

At the end, they will turn back into their original form and become inspiration for another thief to steal without permission.
