From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it. ~Bette Davis

No worries! Just wanted you to know that if you are browsing through Squidoo with your profile set on “G” you might be missing out on the more adult topics posted. True, true the ‘X’ topics are long gone or at least I think they are :O

Anywho if you’d like to browse as an adult make sure to check your profile settings, simple as that.

Joan (Joan4) turned me onto Andy Dooley a few weeks ago…what a wonderful gift from a friend! The two emails that I have received so far (love it that he does not thrash my inbox ) have simply just made my day!! This beautiful drawing was accompanied with this note…

What fun thing did you do today??

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. ~ Anonymous

Oopsie I missed two posts in my 30 day challenge…to be totally honest I am not sure I have the stamina to keep this up with all my other projects…all I can promise at this point, is that I will just keep trying. So stay tuned

Move forward with your Halloween niche and market it on SquidBoo – The Creepiest, Kookiest, Altogether Ookiest… place to design a lens on Squidoo!

Do your research about Halloween keywords, then get to building your lens now to get ahead of the holiday rush. I have already noticed increased hits on my Halloween lenses that I built last year.

Please leave a link or two to your SquidBoo lens right here for all of us to ‘drool’ over and comment on! Make sure to drop off your referral link for Squidoo too…because I think it is important that people have a familiar face to hook up with if they aren’t Squidooing yet!!

As I move forward with my 30 day blogging challenge here on Squid Report I’d like to ask the readers to let me know if there is anything you need help with, desire more information on…you name it and I’ll do my darn best to get it found for you! Thank you so much for reading, replying and being a friend of Squid Report!

Extreme Writing Now began as a single author writing blog in August of 2009. In June
of 2010, the site was transformed to a social network for writers; more like a corner pub.
All members are given access to posting and, revenue generated by their posts, at the
blog. Included in the EWN network are many groups that support authors and writers in
numerous ways.

EWN is all about flash fiction, memoirs, freelance writing, poetry, prose, 55 word fiction,
and writing in general. EWN is a laid back community of fun and relaxation that caters
to the writer in everybody. No pressure; just tons of support and love in true Bohemian
style. Why not join our merry band of budding writers at EWN? It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s
delicious!

Alex and each one of us involved at Extreme Writing Now invites you to come check out this diverse and magical writing community. Listen in at BlogTalkRadio too…this Sunday July 25, 2010 is the inaugural opening of Extreme Writing Now Network (EWNN)!! <—Mark it on your calendars!

This Squid Reporter is slowly but surely becoming addicted to writing 55 word flash fiction.  This is my first entry, which is a bit sexy and shocking!

Parental Descent
Spent. Her lavender oiled body spilling, his legs entwined. The crisp cottony sheets rumpled, tangled binding them together.

Moon drops of light sprinkle the room. Glistening bodies illuminated. Breathless sounds and motion exposed.

Kisses that whisper their secrets excite the sated moment. Tangling them closer.

Tranquil passion shattered seeing the toddler walk from the room.
