Okay so now that the competition is over I can gush on this story! It's so freaking good, Jennifer! You really excel at these. I found myself thinking of the Dragon Tale that you wrote and narrated last year, too. I love it!
And I was thinking about what you said as a one off also --- about how these prompts really give writers who are working on bigger projects, a chance to write something else. That's so 😎. Thank you friend🙏
🥰 🥰 thanks so much, MJ! I’m so glad you liked it, and that’s so kind of you to say! Yes, a little one-off or throwaway to feed the writing habit while you work on non-writing (organizing, graphics, what have you).
Oh, yes! Alpert and the flies! I love that one, too! Have you heard of Flight of the Conchords, the New Zealand comedy duo/musicians? Hilarious stand up and they had a show on HBO or Showtime, a decade or more ago. (And I met Jermaine in LA!) But anyway, the name Alpert is from a song of theirs about a dragon named Alpert. Maybe it shouldn’t be the first one that you listened to of theirs, but they have some funny songs! 😝 There’s one called Jenny that’s about seven minutes long — about a misunderstanding on a park bench — and I am particularly partial to it because it’s my name. I would pick it for songs from the jukebox, but it’s so strange.! 😂 anyway, if you haven’t listened to flight of the Conchords, tell me and I will send you some curated in music lol
