I woke up the other day with this poem in my head. Also, I'm a horrible poet. The duck is mocking me again, Trumpeting his freedom through the morning fence, Another day of sun and wind and sky and earth, As I roll out of bed at his joyous bell, And shut the window.

I both embrace tropes and love to turn them upside down. But come on... only the follicly challenged know the depths of true evil! instagram.com/p/CKb3mwypFuu/…

A quick survey around my house found that most of my kids didn't know what a trope was and why they are gloriously fun to explore, use, and twist. For anyone who's curious, see my latest post about them here: platteclark.com/2021/01/tropes…

Heroes, like rock stars, aren't satisfied maxing at "ten." I like to include at least one character who cranks their amp to eleven. Obviously, that's not a bard. Bards don't get amps.

In Fluff Dragon, two Fire Kittens walked off their jobs licking prisoners bound to the Tree of Woe, booked passage with the Guild of Indiscriminate Teleportation, and passed Dwarven probability locks to occasionally fling fireballs from their tails. #GoodKitty East West Literary
