Flash Fiction – Creative Mash-Up
The prompt for the Flash Fiction at Carrot Ranch on November 8, 2018 is Creative Mash-Up.
Smashed Potatoes
“What are you doing, Meg?”
“Helping, sis.”
“By doing what?”
“Smashing the potatoes.”
“You do what? For what?”
“Didn’t you read the email from the Community Center. They need additional 50 lbs smashed potatoes with opinion power to serve the Thanksgiving dinner to the veterans.”
“Oh no, let me check the email.”
“I’ll do 10 lbs mixed with fortune cookie opinions.”
“OMG. That’s what it says. Let me call Judy.”
*
“Meg, let’s pick up the smashed potatoes and cook them.”
“What did she say?”
“Judy made some typos. We still can make mashed potatoes with your smashed potatoes.”

Oh, I’m glad to hear the book arrived for you. My books arrived also and I’ll have a book sale for my adult fellowship class. I have a sale for two weeks. I paid for the books, but all sales will be donated to our annual fundraising for our class missionaries. Please pray that It has a good turn out. 🙂

That is a wonderful idea Miriam. You are such a generous person. I ask God to make your sales be plenteous, and He blesses the people who buy your book, and the money for your missionaries, Amen!

Miriam!!! I devoured your book, and will certainly be reading it again. I just had to tell you it is wonderful! It is beyond wonderful! I should probably not have read it right now, since my head is already stuffed up from being sick because a few poems made me cry 🙂 But there were many more that were a such a blessing to read. I don’t want to give away what’s in your book so I don’t know how much I can say but it is just amazing. Then again I expected nothing less from you 🙂 Oh, and you said about the pictures not being in colour. They were just fine, and so was your artwork 🙂

Sorry that the book gives you more headache. I cried also when I read some of them again. They brought back so much emotion.
If you have time to write the review, you can write as long and as much as you want. It’s good though because people think that it’s another regular poetry book. That’s way on Amazon I described it as a poetic memoir.
Thank you for liking the B&W photos and artwork.
You’re such an encouragement to me, Margaret! 🙂 🙂

Do you mean a review on Amazon? If so I will do my best Miriam 🙂 I’m not good with figuring out how to do stuff like that hahaha I get lost in the make a password, sign up, click here and there. By the time I figure it all out, I forget what I went to do 🙂 That’s why I make hubby order anything, pretty much do anything online for us 🙂 But for you and your wonderful book, I will try 🙂
Your book was definitely more than just a book of poems. It was a walk through your life, telling your story with each poem. Your struggles, your triumphs, your faith, your family expressed through poetry. I love it.

Hi Margaret, Everything you said in the comment in this one and the last one is a very good thing to say in the Amazon review. They require people spend more than $50 to do a review. Probably you husband will post it for you.
I’ll email you tomorrow of your last two comments, ask your husband to copy it on Word document, you can add more thoughts to it as if you’re telling someone what you think about the book, why you think the book is helpful, things like that.
Your husband then goes on my Amazon page, click on write a review, it will ask if he bought the book, then there is a “box” where your husband can copy your comment and paste in the “box.”
I’ll email you tomorrow.
Thank you, Margaret and thank your husband for me. 🙂
