And 20 snippets

At weekly meetings, aspiring writers are often expected to write something at the drop of a hat. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the exercise spawns a semi-decent idea, that can be tweaked and prodded into pretending it's a real story. These aren't those.

Most writers leave these tucked away in private notebooks. That's probably where they belong.
