Tidbit 1:
It wasn't so long ago my twins were influenced by one of the teen's friends. The teen friend is concerned about Zombies, a Zombie apocolypse to be exact (yes, I've already told the young lad to lay off the horror movies and freaky video games).
This friend is well read on how to protect himself in the event Zombies attack. My twins wanted to stop at Walmart and pick up a flame-thrower.
A few nights ago, dear twins were watching television and apparently they saw a jet pack. They want one. I wonder if Walmart would carry those in the same aisle as the flame throwers?

Don't snub tiny local writing events. I attended a small writing event in the next tiny town over. I'm proud to say the energy can be just as exhilarating and I walked away with ideas galore.
Scout out these small affairs as the fees are reasonable ($10 with lunch included - oh yeah). Oh, make sure you block out the rest of your day for writing. Once the event is over you will be ready to fire off pages of ideas.
Have a wonderful weekend!

The kids and I actually talk about the zombie apocalpyse a lot at our house -- its become our shorthand for disaster preparation (just minor stuff like having flashlights with batteries in them and making sure there's extra water in the jugs because if the power goes out so does the water)
We all know that zombies aren't going to happen, and that what we're doing is just in case of power outages or bad weather, but it's led to some fun discussions!
