"Monday's Stories" On Tuesday: Toby and Pete, And Grocery Store Items

On Monday of last week I published a post about publishing a new weekly post, entitled, Monday's Stories: Fact Or Fiction.

Every week I'll write two stories, one will be authentic entertainment and the other highly colored fiction.

You will decide which story is true and which is pure imagination. I hope these tall tales will be different, fun, and challenging.

Do you think you can tell the difference between a true story and fiction?
This week, I will publish the correct answers on Friday, but next week, I will stop taking comments about which story you think is true on Friday, and reveal the true story in the next "Monday's Stories: Fact Or Fiction" post.

This is another clever suggestion from Sandee at Comedy Plus, because as Sandee pointed out, it will give everyone a chance to read others opinions throughout the week-end, as well as build readers anticipation.

Stories begin after clicking "Read More." Thank you for reading.

Monday's Mysteries Are Around The Corner

Next Monday, I will post Monday's Mysteries for the first time, so stop by and leave the first comment, and I will post a link to your blog or website.

Every Monday I’m going to write two brief stories, one story will be authentic, and the other highly colored fiction.

You will decide which story is true and which is pure imagination. These Tall Tales will be brief, fun, and challenging. Do you think you can tell the difference between truth and fiction?

I will let you know which story is true when I reply to your comment- (And for you law breakers: Do not try to read the comments for the answer, because I have cameras. :))

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you will return to participate, or read the stories. (I don't really have cameras.)

Have a great Monday. :))

Favorite quotes-

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'

F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"

Mark Twain

"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.
- Mark Twain in Eruption

"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

Mark Twain

About Ann...

I'm a professional humorist/children's writer, mother, friend, and cat owner, and the author of A Nice Place In The Sun. I write situational humor most of the time, but actually, there is no telling what I might turn out.

I'm writing my first novel for adults, and I have children's book manuscripts, as well as short stories, traveling through the writers market. Most of my online work is posted on A Nice Place In The Sun, although I am published in local magazines, and continue to work toward traditional publication.
