Howdy, folks! Happy Sunday! As I mentioned last week, we’re all finished with the Steeped in Love installments for now. This week, I’m sharing something COMPLETELY different, but I think you’ll all get a kick out of it. I wrote this story quite a few years ago, but it’s always held a special place in my heart. It’s called What’s Your EyeCue? I won’t even give away the premise. I’ll let you figure that out. Ready? Let’s go!
Almost everyone hates him. He’s too quiet and reserved for some, and a tad too presumptuous for others. He’s an outcast, an exile, a pariah.
His name is Cue—the most offensive letter of the alphabet.

The game board was set. Seven letter tiles on the rack vied for a prestigious spot on the 15-by-15 grid, each one certain they would be the deciding factor, the game breaker, the one to tip the scale in favor of their side. In the match to end all matches, the Southern Syllabums faced off against the Northern Nounators. The Syllabums, led by their fearless captain, Arr, consisted of the letters: Cue, Bee, Emm, Wye, Ele, and Ohh. The Nounators were represented by the talented Tea and his teammates: Vee, Jay, Double-Ewe, Eh, Ewe, and Zed.
I think we’ll leave it there for now. lol. Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!
Well, I had a blast and a half last night with one of my best gal-pals at the Canadian Tire Centre here in Ottawa. We went to see the hilariously funny comedian Amy Schumer perform live. I would SO love to hang out with that woman. Even if it was only for a night. I’d buy her all the poutine in the world. I’ve long been a fan of hers, and seeing her, being in the same room with her…breathing the same air as her, it was just so freaking cool! Today, I’ll be hitting the turf for some soccer action, and tomorrow is Family Day in these parts. Looking very forward to an extra day off. 🙂 Enjoy all the little things, my friends! See you next week! xo

OH ME, OH MYO.
I’m not clever with games. This is a doozy!
Your weekend displays the other side of the wild, wild Julie. Yes, I do believe in joy and lots of fun.
Love, Charmaine
LOL, yep. That’s me, a wild child. 😉 Thanks so much, my friend! Love you back! 🙂
LOL! I M N love with this, Julie!
Yay! Then my work here is done. 😉 Thanks, Nancy!
Its too early for me to think of something clever to say using just letters 😉
However, this is a fun little snippet!
Its been awhile since I visited your blog, and I read your About Me, I have to agree above Trudeau – I love that man! Can he just be PM of the U.S. too?!!!
Hey Siren! So nice to see you again! Isn’t Trudeau the greatest? But he’s ours; you can’t have him. 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Lol, Yeah, I really wouldn’t want to take him from Canada. Can Canada just take me and my family in instead? Not too thrilled with the way things are going here, Trudeau seems to get it. Every news story I read about him, I am always wow-ed. And damn is he cute! 🙂
Will stop by next week! See ya then!
I M WOW-D! Fun snippet! Can’t wait to read more!
😀 Thank you, Jenna! So happy people are enjoying it!

OK, I’m Scrabbling for something clever to say about this intriguing set-up 🙂
Haha! Nicely done! More intrigue to come next week. 😉
It’s a fun, interesting concept but it would drive. Me. Crazy. to read LOL! But very different for today so great snippet.
Hee, I can understand that. You might want to skip reading my snippets for a few weeks, then. I like you sane. 😀
What a cute idea! I’m bad at this kind of stuff, but can appreciate someone who does it well.
I could say the same thing about your work! 🙂 Thanks, Christina!
I wish I were as clever as some of the other entries with their letters, but I definitely love this snippet!
LV SCRBL But this is hard.
This snippet made me smile. 🙂
Yes, I love this story. It’s so CUE-T!
I was momentarily confused about why hanging out at a tire (tyre?) place was fun, but I quickly caught on. Yes, I can totally see you and Amy Schumer being kindred spirits. Just no lower back tattoos, OK?
I LOVE scrabble. Thanks for the tease.
O mi, how cue tea!
