I can only do so much…and btw, shouldn’t YOU be taking care of the streaks? Okay, so, the streaks are my fault, but... do you have to make it so damned obvious that I don...
Here is my writing challenge to all you talented word artists: Bring an inanimate object to Life.

Make it fun, make it sad, make it angry. It doesn't matter...as long as you make it interesting. (I came up with this idea a few weeks back after an unsuccessfu...
