Tonight’s the night!
At 6:30 p.m. the writers(well, many of them) will gather at the Leaf & Bean in downtown Bozeman to read their terrible, wonderful work!
Hope to see you there!
If you act(and by act, I mean write) quickly your short, short story could be read aloud on National Public Radio. If nothing else it looks like a fun exercise to try. The deadline is February 28th and the details can be found HERE.
2009’s Chief Officer of Fools, Ray Sikorski, abandoned(yes, abandoned!!) Foolish Words for adventure in far away lands, so I’m heading up the silly marathon this year!
What is Foolish Words? Foolish Words is an add-on story created by writers in and around Bozeman each year. Each writer adds his or her 200–400 words to the story and when April Fool’s Day rolls around we all get together and read aloud our contributions to this unholy document of pure foolishness.
Quite a lot of fun, I must say!
If you’d like to check out what 2009’s fools produced, it’s all online at http://www.foolish.creativenudge.org/
Now, I’m running a bit late getting this started, so please let me know ASAP at susan@creativenudge.org if you’d like to be involved. Also let me know if there is a certain time over the next two months that would be either really bad or really great for you to write your piece.
Thanks! And away we go!!!

My New Year’s resolutions have turned into a cruel April Fools joke, so this month I’m starting over.
Every now and then everyone wants to start over. Sometimes you can and sometimes you can’t. Sometimes starting over only leads you to a place where you just want to… start over. But sometimes, oh, sometimes you can start over and do it right. And pretend the first pass never happened.
So here’s to New Year’s April Fools resolutions! Go ahead, start over!
