A Siren Will Sing
Inspired by Mermay Day 16-- Celebrity
The kingdom buzzes. Streamers, wreaths, and a ridiculous amalgamation of hand made signs crowd the waterways. Tails gleam and everyone, maids and men alike, have crafted elaborate hair styles in the hopes of getting even just a moment of attention from the soon-to-be arriving star.
Nearly all the merfolk of this kingdom are gathered, the young siren notes as they tug their disguise more firmly into place. They swim, unnoticed for the first time in years, reveling in the quiet as they make their way to the venue where they will have all eyes on them once again.

Lost at Sea
The cabin was on the very outskirts of Holly Brook bay. It had stood there since before the towns founding, before the bay was named Holly Brook even. The sturdy building stood a short stumble away from the water, which is probably why the bottom steps showed the obvious effects of water damage and decay. The cabin was surrounded by trees. The road that led to the building went from asphalt to gravel near Holly Brook proper. The road closer to the cabin was just dirt, but that’d been nearly completely covered by overgrown blackberry brambles.

Want to Be a Wealthy Writer? Know How Language Works
If you aspire to be a wealthy writer, you have to know how and why language works. It’s pointless to argue that one use of a word or phrase is absolutely correct and all other forms are dead wrong. There is often not a perfect rule for writing, or even punctuating, since several things impact any language, some without much forewarning. Bang! OMG suddenly appears as a WORD in the freaking Oxford Dictionary!
