This month's theme was 3 sentences and as such I decided not to post them here but to do a roundup of all four pieces from the professional blogs.

3 sentence fic: April Showers

She wakes to the sound of rain against the windows. Outside the flowering primroses and the late blooming narcissi will be grateful for the rain, as will be the tulips tucked safe inside their buds and the freshly sown leek and calendula seeds slumbering just below the surface of the rich compost. It's early and so she snuggles back beneath the covers, warm and safe, soothed by the gentle pitter-patter of the vital spring shower.

3 sentence fic: Unusual Employment

Alex did not date corporate types, tending to prefer the quirkier personalities of second-hand bookstore owners, llama farmers, chocolate tasters, hippotherapists, and teddy bear technicians.
This latest one though had, over a second whisky, said "demonologist" which at first sounded like dermatologist but no, he insisted, demonologist. That wasn't really a thing, was it?

Hippotherapist: Hippotherapists are also called therapeutic riding instructors and equine therapists. Hippotherapy is the practice of riding horses as a form of therapy for children and adults who experience disabilities. https://www.trade-schools.net/articles/unique-careers.asp

3 sentence poem: Pancakes

Fresh free-range eggs, spring yellow yolks stark against the sieved flour, whisked with a pinch of salt.

Delicious pancakes served onto warmed plates awaiting any number of toppings to be added as desired.

3 sentence fic: Signs of Spring creative nonfiction

Spring is also evoked by the scent of compost , the feel of the rich earth on fingertips as plants are potted and beds weeded . Not forgetting the wonderful sight of rainbows made by watering the plants, their flowers unfurled to bask in the sunlight, attracting the buzzing bees and resplendent butterflies to taste their nectar.

Someone said we can't have Ace Pride until we no longer need Ace Awareness, and I think there's some truth to that. We're still met with confusion or derision when we "out" ourselves as on the asexual spectrum. People generally understand terms like gay, lesbian, and bisexual (even if they don't "believe" they do or should exist), but asexuality is still relatively unknown and more misunderstood. It's why awareness week is so important.
