It is Wednesday once again, boys and girls. The first Wednesday is Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG) posting day. Join us, read us, or buy our anthology. You won’t regret it.
This month I am again turning over my IWSG post to info about the newest anthology. Here are the deets if you are interested in submitting a story:

This first story involves bribing a bear with yummies. I could be tricked with Krispy Kreme doughnuts too.

And in science news tonight, mapping circuitry in associative learning. Understanding how the brain links events to form memory can help us understand disorders in memory and memories associated with stress. Power comes from understanding. I heart science!

That’s all for me tonight. I’ll see you in seven.

I think my comment was eaten by WordPress. It must have thought it was a donut.
Was it chocolate or glazed? 😉
That’s cute they got the bear with donuts. I’ve been to Fort Myers – it’s a rather large city for a bear to wander around.
I wonder how many donuts they lost to people like me. 😉
My memory is shockingly bad. Perhaps if I was offered donuts as a bribe to remember…?
A hypothesis worth testing. 😉
I love science too. The brain article sounds interesting. Keep writing!!

Science rocks!
Since you like science so much, you should enter the contest.
If they were luring me, they’d have to use Dunkin Donuts.
I may. Any donuts are good donuts. 😜
