Oh my gosh - I completely spaced out when it was my last turn to talk on Monday, so I am determined not to let this one pass, even though I am about to leave the house with the family to go see 'Isle of Dogs'! I have about ten mins to prep this, then I will post it when we get home.
I am so looking forward to this movie - I love what I've seen so far of Wes Anderson's movies, particularly 'Fantastic Mr Fox' and as this is another stop-motion film in a similar vein, I have great expectations of it! Will let you know what I thought!
How is your Monday going? Any plans for the week's awesomeness yet? My own mostly centre around logistics for a trip later in the year, and while I know I am sadly lacking on the whole words front (even the WIP Push didn't get me writing, I'm sorry to say), I'm not sure that words will flow this week either, but I am aiming to make some icons if nothing else!
Here are the reminders and other things you need to help kick you off for the week:
1 – FLASH CHALLENGE – Your amazing Monday prompt is - "seeking something or someone lost" Give me 100 words or a graphic for the fabulous sake of saying you’ve done it!
2 – Reminder of last week’s challenges:
67 - WWoW - Busticate - N - 29 - Paseo - O - Behindhand - WC - Road Trip! - 298 - Phraseology - Truckle - P
And 3 – Big Buddy 23% - Are you all on schedule?

[Edit: 'Isle of Dogs' was great! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and had some really good laughs, plus it made me think. Go see it!]
Let's be careful out there, everyone, and let's make words!

I've got another book nearly ready for publishing...if I can find someone to check the little French bits sprinkled throughout. A friend started writing this story with me, then she passed away before it was completed; she wrote most of the French and German bits but since I speak neither language, I can only use Google translate to verify it lol. My German friend took care of the German for me though, so that's good.
YAY for nearly at publishing on another book! I hope you can find someone for the French. Your friend would be proud of you for getting it finished!
Re: written words, I keep inching closer to finishing a fic I'm working on. It's been work all the way, even though it's hardly complicated. My brain's just fighting me, but I'm getting there, and at least I'm really pretty happy with what I've got so far. It's longer than I expected it to go - will be close to 6k probably. :|
After this, it's prepping for June bingo and maybe some ficlets to try to accomplish something short form for once.

I so completely get the yarn addiction thing now, too. All the pretty colors and patterns and sparkles and textures.... eeeeeeeeeee!
Some people love socks. I'm glad you found it!
Good luck with the words! I have a story that is almost finished and I know where I'm going, but my motivation has fled. :( YOU CAN DO THIS! I HAVE FAITH!
Good luck with your fic. I know the feeling - but the motivation will return, I'm sure!
Thanks! It'll get done - just have to get through the stress of the last few weeks of school and graduation and - heaven help me - sending my kid to college! (Thankfully she's going locally)
You can do it, with the fic - well done you for sticking with it!
And yay for June Bingo and ficlets!!! ;-)
The fic might take about three more nights, too, but thanks - I do look forward to posting something again.
Just realized I never signed up for the May Big Buddy. *sigh* Probably for the best - I have a lot going on this month. Starting with my hubby's birthday in two days (that I forgot about).
Oh well, there's always June, and YES, your hubby's b'day is something you should not forget!!! Have fun for it! ;-)
He certainly thinks so anyway. God help me on those years when Mother's Day falls on his birthday. Hahaha. Thanks!
Oh, I know what you mean - my BIL's was on Mother's Day this year, and I'm sure my sister had to pay attention to that (not that she has human children, but I'm sure she'd like to be acknowledged for her parenting to the assorted cats, dogs, chickens and ducks). ;-)
Hahaha - boys. They can't let someone else be in the spotlight, can they? :D
It kinda veered from the original challenge, sorry/not sorry. :)
