Great to see you too, @wandrnrose7! Thanks very much for reading. Yes, I was pretty certain most people would detect the lie. It was a fun little fantasy to concoct, though. Please join us in The Ink Well,

Hi everyone. I had to jump on this one:

I enjoyed reading this, @rammargarita. The parallel of the winking octopus and the blinking Virgin Mary made me smile. That is wonderful that you and all of your colleagues are all enjoying longevity!

I loved reading this piece, @cloflo. Wow, that must have been so frightening having all of those lucid dreams. I can imagine why you begged for them to stop after the last ones. Even so, it sounds like

This is wonderful, @gracielaacevedo. It was simply not possible for me to determine which of the vignettes in your story were true. You are a stellar storyteller! I could absolutely see an entire story

I really enjoyed reading this, @abdul-qudus. (And like the others I guess marriage.) You write such poignant lines sometimes that I have to stop and read them twice. My life has not been so perfect either.

This is so clever, @sofs-su. I really could not figure out which one you had made up. You did well! In The Ink Well, we were just realizing that your image should unfortunately be replaced. It is not an

I am very excited to see what comes of the creative nonfiction prompt in particular. I mean, I'm always excited about fiction. But this nonfiction prompt is so silly. I hope people have fun with it!

Congratulations, @wrestlingdesires, @kemmyb and @seki1, and all the honorable mentions! What great stories this week!

This is a great story, @wrestlingdesires. So imaginative! I really want to commend you on the dialogue. You have truly mastered this! It's not easy to do. And we all have habits that sneak into our writing,

This is a truly stunning story, @universoperdido. It is beautifully told and the characterization of the narrator is really well done. How poignant that his sister found him so many years later, after

Oh my gosh, @itsostylish. What a treasure trove of information you've uncovered. This is fascinating. Sadly, Gertrude only discovered his true identity after the War Office sent her a telegram with the

Rubs hands together. What will this wonderful community come up with this week? We shall see!

I hope you join us this week, @momogrow. 😀

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, @lightpen!

Me too! I'm giggling just thinking about it, @hazmat.

That is such a wonderful outcome, @owasco. The very same thing happened to me after writing a creative nonfiction story. Something about it gave me a fresh lens on the past, and a really enjoyable way
