#shortStory;Adele was a fictional character for one night at a Halloween costume party. Although a fleeting presence, she left a big impression. They were talking about her in Pagosa Springs for years after her brief visit.

Another blog from #wordsbyterryl . This week Terryl offers some thought on how we are treating #MotherEarth.
Man versus nature. Who will win this epic battle? It looks like man has just about conquered Nature, as he set out to do so long ago. What does a win look like in that war? And will mankind survive it?

A new record for #wordsByTerryl; With 19 images and almost twice the words; todays's story is an
amalgamation of cat events, each true, woven into one story with Merlin the representative cat.
Cats can take aggressive action to protect who they care about but sometimes we have to clean up a big mess.

Please share your cat vs dog story. We love when real folks "flip the script".

I help a friend publish her #creativeNonfiction blog #wordsbyterryl. A few days ago I was chatting with her about embargo in publishing and then this morning I find, in the wild, an example to show her.We just learned how to use the embargo feature in #writefreely fediverse service. That is why the [latest article](
https://blog.moonlitpress.org/the-patron-saint-of-lost-causes ) came out on exactly the full moon.

Another #shortStory from Terryl. A mix of story telling and quilting craziness.
How many stories could a blanket handed down for three generations in one family tell? Beyond counting. This is the story of one such blanket and how it was resurrected by a foolish granddaughter.

Who is running the show here? The to-do list, or the person working it? It’s hard to tell sometimes. For all the joy and beauty word nerds find in the written word, words can also become burdensome. Unyielding task masters.
I'm the graphic designer and bit monkey for #wordsbyterryl, terryl is the author and we are back from hiatus.

How do you use lists in your life and to what effect?

The latest story from #moonlitpress combines a 56 chev, a blanket, and route 66 in this drive down memory lane. Inanimate though they may be, objects become part of the lives of the people who own them. These objects carry the personal and family history of their people with them.

Those old sayings; a @wordsbyterryl article.
We all hear them from the time we acquire language as a child. They’re so ingrained and so taken for granted that we don’t really think about what they say. MoonLit questions these old sayings in this full moon’s offering.

We also introduce wrdnrdbrd (Word Nerd Bird). A friendly glyph found on #openclipart.
