Artists of all types (amateur/professional; adults/children; word/drawing/sculpture/music/video/comics artists... and anything that I might not have thought of) are invited to submit work to this digital anthology. No money in it for you (or us), but you'll get a free copy.

Which of these mugs would you rather own?
(See images in my reply. Note that the taller one is advertised as "made of 100% crappy material, GUARANTEED to fall apart the 1st time that it gets into hot water - and vice versa!") That is, it ADMITS that it's useless.
Please retweet!
0%OFFICIAL Josh Hawley mug!
100%I'd prefer the other.

Not comfortable to listen to. But then, it was never meant to be.
And, heartbreakingly, infuriatingly, as relevant today as when The Lady sang it in the '50s, though today they use guns, tazers, and choke-holds instead of ropes and trees.

BY POPULAR DEMAND: a music/lyrics theme. And it’s got a video starter!
These 2 despised each other. Yet they performed together for 38 years, their names almost inseparable.
This week’s #WannaScore?: write EXACTLY 20 words of your own #Blues… or SING em

Just as the tadpole evolves into the frog, so La Gr@not@ is transforming itself into a publisher of DIGITAL books.
[Tadpole version: la-granota.com/press.htm The whole web-site needs rewriting. On that page, points 3b, 3c, & 3d are no longer applicable. @Hepburn7373 re: point 4?]

This is one facet of the kind of fun we get up to on #WannaScore? Each Monday a new, 20-word challenge set, to be completed by Friday- Multiple entries encouraged but not obligatory.
Wanna join us? Just look for that # (NOT @!) or click on my name and scroll down.

It behoves me to articulate my profoundest delectation and discombobulation at discovering myself amongst such distinguished and aesthetically endowed personages from the vanguard of exquisite, belletristic endeavour!
It remains for me to felicitate all!

La Gr@not@ is taking part in today's (26th May) #FlipPit, in which agents and publishers are looking for writers, NOT the other way around as per usual. So if any of you are writing a book, follow that hashtag to see what their wish lists are like!

Useful quotes to have ready when Christian fanatics and bigoted xenophobes harp on about the founding fathers wanting the USA to be a Christian nation.
Thank you, Dan.

Lassie, Thomasina, Black Beauty, Nemo, Rin Tin Tin, Dumbo, Charlotte. Literature and cinema abound with animal heroes.
#WannaScore? Then write a story with an animal main character (or more than one) in EXACTLY 20 words.
You may borrow an existing character or create your own.

I lost all respect for the "@guardian's imbecilic, little-hitler moderating staff" (well called there, Sir!) LONG ago. These puffed-up, opinionated, petty💩💩make arbitrary censoring decisions and prohibit constructive criticism.
And they have the GALL to call it #CommentIsFree!
Once again, @guardian's imbecilic, little-hitler moderating staff runs amok!
Someone wrote that the USA's egregious healthcare system was the fault of the stupidity of those Americans who SMOKED DOPE as teenagers!
I replied that I was "gobsmacked" that anyone could (to be cont)

Big thanks for the recommendations, Jac!
I'm sure that Belle, Leto, and I have as much fun running our respective games as you people who take part in them.
#WritingCommunity #Writers #amwriting
If you guys want fabulous Tweeters to follow, there's fun and games run by @TheBelleDame1, @granota_hut and @LetoArmitage that really support us writers.
You guys are champs!
Anyone else doing something similar?

If you're a writer and/or illustrator, getting published by La Gr@not@ won't make you rich or famous (nobody's even heard of us!), but you'll be in print, you'll maintain ALL rights, and you can sell your work to a more established publisher at any time.
If a reader, see reply⬇️

The rules on voting are different, but if you're a PARTICIPANT/ENTRANT on teapaw.org/granota_hut/status/152… (or have been on previous editions of #WannaScore?), you have until midnight, Wednesday (continental European time) to vote for entries there.
And see you back here, later today!
Many know that #WannaScore? was inspired by (read: "ripped off from") @TheBelleDame1's 10-Word Tales For The Weekend, which concentrates on setting literary/cinematic GENRES as its challenge.
This FOURTH week here, something like that. 20 words EXACTLY about #DICKENS: lit/film
ALT Mr. Pickwick was kissed by every one of them, by "Phiz"
#WritingCommunity This is a comment on the thread teapaw.org/granota_hut/status/152…
Take my advice and join BOTH competitions: both are really fun! (Ahem, ahem, and HIGHLY educational!)
Newcomers: don't forget to follow @TheBelleDame1 and take part in her weekend TEN-word challenges*! And you can vote for last weekend's entries until Friday night, Vancouver time.
* MUCH trickier!

It's #ShamelessSelfpromoTuesday! Not only am I shamelessly promoting La Gr@not@, I'm also promoting several fine #writers who take part in #WannaScore? - a weekly feature in which YOU can not only show off your talent, but also have a LOT of fun... and join our #WritersCommunity!
