It’s time to post another Six Sentence Story, so here’s my response to this week’s prompt word BOOK. Six Sentence Stories is a writing prompt posted by GIRLIEONTHEEDGE; participants link their tales through Inlinkz
Doodling Doesn’t Pay
I’ll admit that I’ve always been a scribbler and doodler. Though I do most of my scribbling in a sketchbook especially for that purpose, any sudoku or puzzle book — or even scrap paper — that happens to be near at hand when the urge hits me gets some kind of decoration. With all these bits of doodling through the years, I’ve become quite a mediocre artist.
However, my dear husband wasn’t happy with me at the breakfast table this morning when, wanting to try out my newest gel pan, I grabbed and scribbled on a slip of paper lying on the table. I thought it was the perfect size but I really should have paid more attention, as it turned out to be a cheque he received from a customer and was going to deposit in our account today. Artwork or not, he says he can’t deposit it looking like this.

What? It’s on the back… 😉
And is rather lovely, too.

Why thank you. Actually, it was at the bottom of my Sudoku book — took me about five minutes. I just edited it to suit the story and inserted the words with Paint 3D. 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it. I really was trying out a new pen — and decided to tweak the picture a bit and make it my tale. 🙂

Oops! 😂
Could have been worse Christine. Instead of drawing artistic doodles on it you might have dropped your toast, oozing butter side down on it. Me, I’d rather have the doodles, lol
Hope you’ll come over and link up your Six 🙂

I did link up my tale — will have to check and see if it worked. Yes, toast butter side down –or in my case it would be peanut butter and honey, most likely, would be quite the mess. Thanks for your comment. 🙂

Thank you. Fortunately, only the doodle is true — the story’s fiction. 🙂

It looks like a check worth framing.

As a chronic doodler, my sympathies are with them. I tend to write on all manner of things I shouldn’t

I know one woman who complained that her husband was always doodling on their cereal boxes. I’m actually more likely to lose a cheque than doodle on it — but in fiction you can do anything. 🙂 Thanks for reading & commenting.
