Smiley Coyote just started posting a new work. It is some rambling ruminations, words of wisdom and awesome alliteration from your favorite coyote.  An experiment, not so much a story as a stream of consciousness focused on human folly. Please enjoy the silly similes and playful, philosophical, political, provocative, purposeful, and pensive prose, pontifications, parables, philippics and polemics.  As with Schrodinger's cat, everything is uncertain until you take a peek.   Spoiler, the cat is alive.  What happens to the rest of us is the uncertainty.

The @esthetiquecommunity are hosting a Fiction Awards: 
          https://www.wattpad.com/1450047167-esthetique-fiction-awards-2024-esthetique-fiction
          
          The awards are set up to not only highlight new books, but also to give reviews on the strength and weaknesses of each story, to provide a learning experience for everyone involved.  I was attracted to this competition for the opportunity to have my work reviewed.

At my age, the only sense I have left is my sense of humor and even it is often nonsense.

Happy Mother's Day! We are staying up to catch the Aurora Borealis, but so far nothing.

Now that private messages are gone.  If you want to send me a private message, email me at Cfarley982@gmail.com .  
          Ironically, the only Private messages not deleted were those to and from Wattpad. For me they were a half dozen queries I'd sent them none of which were answered.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! May the fifth of tequila be with you. :-)

Happy Star Wars day! May the fourth be with you!

Here is a petition to stop Wattpad from removing Private messaging: https://chng.it/7qNdJZMyNX 
          I doubt it will do much good, but it couldn't hurt.
          Note it is a website that promotes numerous other petitions so you may want to exit from it once you sign this one.

Hi Joe, did my announcement go out on my new story? Forgot to add the story to my library. So I am not certain if it went out. Sorry to be a bother. I hope all is going good out your way. 

Happy saint Patty's Day when everyone celebrates their Irish heritage by partying and drinking too much. We went to Casey's for corned beef and cabbage. We treated ourselves to Irish nachos and I had my first Irish car bomb in fact I had two. For those who have never had one, I highly recommend  it.  Our server Stephanie joined us and showed me how you were supposed to drink them in a single swallow.  I couldn't do it.  Told her I was too old for that.  Anyway, I survived and am home now.
