Easy Street Carnival of Writing and Art : 5th edition

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Welcome to the January 31, 2010 edition of the Easy Street Carnival of Writing and Art. Things have been a little frazzled here on the Street lately, but I feel confident this month's contributors will help get me back in the prompt-posting groove. How could it be otherwise? Just look at the talent gathered below and visit the featured writers and photographers. Leave a note of thanks on their blogs and vow to participate in February's carnival.

Creative Nonfiction

E for Extraordinary presents Blaming the mistletoe posted at As if I could write!.

Zhu presents Chatting Is Cultural posted at Correr Es Mi Destino, saying, "Canadians love small talk, and they are quite good at it. I’m still occasionally surprised when I see a mismatched pair of strangers discussing life’s little events and parting ways a few seconds later. Yesterday, I was waiting for the bus when I overheard an old immaculately dressed gentleman and a young guy sporting a purple mohawk, a spiked dog collar and a couple of crude tattoos, arguing about hockey."
