flash fiction! I couldn’t resist
but I can’t figure out how to get the badge in here.
Anyway
Answer the question – What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
in 42 words exactly
Mostly we live mundane lives, free of excitement so we vicariously experience what our world lacks by looking to the stars: music stars, movie stars, media stars .It matters not. Envy motivated we reach out to the infamous. We watch and dream.
(thank you for telling me about the badge – I did not know)
Nice take on the “stars!” The badge code (underneath the badge on the left sidebar) must be pasted in to the text tab, not the visual tab. Then when you go back to the visual tab, the badge will show up. Did you try that? If you want it there and still have trouble, feel free to email me: stacie@yeahwrite.me
got it – I did not know! – Thank you – I’ll visit you later
This was a clever one, i like it!
As far as the badge. When you write a post in wordpress you probably noticed there are two tabs in the right hand side. One is text and one is view. You have to copy the badge link, click on the “text” tab and paste it in there, It should work that way. Hopefully! 🙂
thank you – I am now badged – very kind of you
Yay! You’re welcome!
Ah, celebrity envy… I wish that didn’t exist!
me too – thank you
Very cool 42 words. I also like your take on “stargazing,” and it’s so true. Some people’s world revolve around those “stars.” Great piece!
so nice to see you –
Great interpretation of stars and stargazing in a way that’s far removed from the realm of the natural world and the vastness of the universe.
I think the star gazers would disagree with you 😀
Like everyone else, I love your take on the stars. I particularly loved this bit: “we reach out to the infamous” – wonderfully done! 🙂
oh thanks so much 😀
Great twist on the prompt. I hadn’t even thought of it like that. Well done. (And glad you got some help on the badge.)
thank you – that means a lot
Ooooh… you’re the only one of these I read that has this take on “stars.” Very cool observations on the hollowness of it.
thanks so much –glad my piece worked
I agree with Larks-I haven’t seen this take on stars. Glad you joined up.
me too – I’ll play when I can – yesterday was like a holiday 😀
Interesting use of the prompt!
somehow I always end up being different lol – thank you
It’s a very unique take! Like it very much.
I think they’re all unique – it’s always amazing how everyone has their own take on the same prompt
So true. That’s why we keep dreaming.
and sitting on the curb
I like your take on the prompt.
thank you – and back at ya
“Envy motivated” – isn’t that the truth! Really great take on the prompt. I like that you went the social commentary route. 🙂 Thanks for posting for our first-ever gargleblaster! (Technically you’ve still got the wrong badge up there, by the way, but no worries – I’ll post clearer instructions next time. Hope you’ll be joining us again!)
still the wrong one *slaps my head* it matters not – it was great fun and you’re a great bunch
🙂 I’m glad you had fun! I have to admit, by the time I got around to submitting my own entry I had to triple-check to make sure I got the right badge, even after I published it. In fact, I may need to check once more right now…
I much enjoyed your “stars of a different color”. Don’t stray too far outside the box though. It makes it hard to hear you.
Well done!
I’m short in stature and tall in personality – you’ll hear me just fine 🙂
Nice one! I love your original perspective on the prompt.
I can never tell when I’m being original or mundane.. thank you so much
Something about the starts always makes me want to watch and dream too…
the ones in the sky though 😀
Ohhh, very nice, Sue!
Thank you – was a great group and I hope to play again
