December Drabble Dance

Welcome to December! December for the Burrow is a month we've managed to create a bit of a tradition. We have a website where we publish group projects, now and again. And each December, we do a sort of Advent Calendar. It isn't Advent in the religious sense of the word, as we don't stop at Christmas, but each day in December, we reveal a new Drabble related to images that have been chosen by the author. It's a fun little 'new surprise each day' venture and we'd like to share it with you. To get you in the mood, I've got a couple drabbles here. BUT... it's possible I'm insane. It IS delusional Thursday after all... so the drabbles on our Advent Calendar will assuredly be better and more thought out... (even mine).

 

Delirious Dream Drabble*

A girl is asleep, she's dreaming of pompons

A boy is asleep, he's dreaming of longjohns

It's all well and good, when a girl jumps and struts

And nothing goes wrong when a boy warms his butt

But when boys start pomponning and girls start longjohnning

The rest of us sure better get long-gone-goning

Because boys with their pompons, then act like sluts

And girls who try longjohns can't cover their butts**

Before you decide to ignore this as fluff

And think I've come up with it off of the cuff

I'm telling you now, I know about this stuff!

*Inspired by Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book

** inspired by an episode of trying to wear my husband's longjohns under my running pants. Boys have more belly. Girls have more butt. Nuff said.

Delusional Drabble

Once upon a time, there were four score young blondes and brunettes, all between ages sixteen and nineteen and a half... strike that. The Burrow is a Bustling Band of Beautiful Babes who love books and erm... what's a writing word that starts with B? Damn. Tell them I have a PR background and they all want to put me to work. We write. We critique. We support. And now we're famous. Every last one of us has published alone, and as of December 1, 2015, we have officially published our Coffee Table book of images and accompanying drabbles. Erm.

(did I mention drabbles are usually fiction? We DO though, talk about this from time to time...)

 So now don't you have a REALLY strong urge to go read a BETTER Drabble?  Come on. I'm sure you do...

Drabble Dare Shout Out

This is a reminder about the Drabble Dare Challenge.  Use the image to create a story written in exactly 100 words.  As Hart put it so eloquently:"This particular image is STILL in effect... (because we've been under review as to how this would go) and you still have until this Thursday to write a pirating drabble...At least one Sunday between we will REPOST and REMIND. But we will also give some prods mid week, as we think weekend readership is lower and weekday readers may just not know what all the fuss is about.."

We look forward to your entries!

Sunday Drabble Shout Out

This is a shout out invitation to all of our followers. We have a fantastic drabble Colors Feature up at the Burrow. We have a wonderful display of the light spectrum accompanied by drabbles. It was fun to do and surprisingly easy. I know, I bet you're saying, " Well, it's easy for The Burrowers since they have been doing them for awhile." Yes, drabbling may not be easy for everyone since it may be difficult for someone to write a story in exactly 100 words. However, let me say this: You never know what you can do unless you try.
