𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑻 𝑫𝑨𝒀 𝑭𝑶𝑹 𝑷𝑹𝑬-𝑶𝑹𝑫𝑬𝑹 𝑫𝑰𝑺𝑪𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑻❗ Every Halloween, a mysterious bowl of candy appears in front of an abandoned house. This year, it's filled with terrifying tales. https://lnkd.in/g_YYKYPd #Horror #NoSleep #HorrorBooks #HorrorFamily #HorrorCommunity #HorrorFan #Kindle #HorrorBookstagram #Bookstagram #HorrorOfInstagram #Creepy #CreepyPasta #horrortbr #spookyreads #amreadinghorror #bookrecommendations #readinglist #tbrlist #bookboost #supernaturalhorror #weirdhorror #strangefiction

The example of dialogue in the attached image (“If you order that portion etc…) is one of the favourite lines I have managed to channel from the astral pot of words. (Rewritten this sentence so many times and it still doesn't sound right.) It illustrates character, adds tension, introduces physical peril, has swearing (I love a bit of swearing) and also includes fast food (I like fast food almost as much as swearing). What is not to appreciate? Yes, it has been lifted out of context but even standing alone in the world it has a power to it. Elements combined to make a whole that, to my mind, is not easily forgotten. Who is being threatened with assault? By whom? And why? A wash of intrigue laid on three coats thick. What about you? What line/lines are you particularly proud of releasing into the wild? Let rip, show ‘em off in the comments. I only ask for your input as I am trying to be more empathetic. More of a carey, sharey type of person that shows an interest in others…it’s not going well, as I still feel punching someone on the conk in a noodle bar, whilst cussing profusely, would be more fun. #sifrants #sifrantsagain #givemeacolumn #youneedmywisdom #writeforfun #readforfun #lifesajoke 

#wordwednesday: I think of this word as your childhood home after your parents have sold it or a place you played as a child (the dirt hill for me - that is now Saddleridge). #beautifulwords #ilovewords #words

This is the best thing I have watched in a long time! Humility and Honor are in short supply these days, but it is a #supplychain issue we can control the supply of and there is a demand for it. We say we are sorry. I had to, we have to humble ourselves and we have to teach our children how. My Grandparents made us sit next to each other, hold hands and tell each other we loved each other. PAINFUL I have made my kids say they are sorry, I love you, and hug each other! I made my kids pick up and put away things that other people knocked down in stores. We all do it. We leave it better than we found it. I tried to teach them that the mean things that people say and do don't really have anything to do with them it is something ugly going on inside the other person, please don't let that get inside you, we have to pray for them and ask God to protect our minds. I don't mean be a pushover, I don't mean don't defend yourself, we all know how. I mean do the right thing, humble ourselves and be honorable to friends, family, business associates, strangers, and even yes honorable to your enemies. #integrity #customerservice #support #commitment #honor #humility #highdemand #shortsupply #opportunity #strength
