I have been reading Donna’s work for several years now, and I have long grown accustomed to finding a remarkable, thoughtful treasure when I peruse a fresh post on her site. With the example shared below, my (admittedly) high expectations were generously exceeded. Donna’s words are honest and […]
As I was prepping this piece, I struggled, as I usually do, with finding the right words for the introduction. After fifty-odd spotlights, it’s become increasingly difficult to come up with a unique intro that feels fresh and non-repetitive. After all, how many different ways can you say […]
Hey, Folks. I just checked the Bonnywood Archives, and it startled me to realize that it’s been nearly a year since I did a full feature on another blogger. Not only is this a shocking dereliction of duty on my part, it underscores something I’ve been pondering during […]
Dear Friends (some of whom apparently consider me a sociopath, but in a pleasant sort of way), I always get great satisfaction out of reading the comments on my posts, but I must say that the responses on yesterday’s bit of scribbling exceeded my already-high expectations. Something aligned […]
There are three things about Casey that I immediately noticed: She’s not afraid to let her mind wander into cryptic corners, poking about with a stick, and then sharing the poking with you. Her pieces are often densely-layered, the kind where you know you didn’t get it all […]

And so it was, four score and seven years ago (okay, maybe it was just ten days ago; I get confused), that I proffered up another picturesque writing-prompt. During the rousing commentary interplay that ensued, the deliciously-provocative Fiery composed a lovely poetic piece that encapsulated both the prompt […]
It’s always refreshing when I read a new post from a blogger with a twisted mind (and I say that in a loving and supportive way, as my mind is exceedingly warped), and Marietta never fails to deliver. She has had me giggling for years, and a spotlight […]
Note: One, this is a re-post, as I didn’t have time to compose anything fresh whilst I work my way through two weeks of unanswered comments on my blog. (Not complaining, as I’m having a swell time.) Two, this post was a follow-up post to the then-previous post, […]
In this latest response to the Bonnywood Manor story prompts, multi-talented Obbverse shares a lyrical but cautionary tale about doing things with candles that perhaps one shouldn’t do. (We’ve all been there, right?) Enjoy. Last Night. Hugo approached the final room slowly, His heartbeat flickering […]
