Charlie Walker is a cynical columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald, struggling to find meaning in his work amidst the monotonous grind of his life post-divorce. His favorite coffee shop sanctuary is disrupted one Monday morning by a peculiar man with a rubber chicken and plastic dog shit, setting the tone for a bizarre day. At the office, Charlie's editor, Alexander Marchant, demands more engaging and inspiring content, pushing Charlie out of his comfort zone. Just when Charlie thinks his day can't get worse, he's introduced to the Herald's new legal columnist, Bryce McGovern-the very same eccentric coffee shop intruder.

Despite initial annoyance, Charlie finds himself reluctantly amused by Bryce's antics. As he shows Bryce around the dreary office, a surprising camaraderie develops. Bryce's quirky humor and positive outlook start to chip away at Charlie's jaded exterior. Inspired by this unexpected encounter, Charlie begins to see potential stories in the absurdities of everyday life, realizing that even the shittiest days can have moments of humor and humanity.

"Just Another Shitty Day in Paradise" is a humorous and heartwarming tale of finding laughter in the mundane, embracing unexpected friendships, and rediscovering one's passion in the most unlikely places.All Rights Reserved

It Only Happens in Spring by GlennaPound

Breezy and carefree in style, It Only Happens in Spring explores the comic side of villainy. A New York starlet in the 1990's - finding herself menacingly past her due date -- heads up to the mayor's mansion every Wednesday morning. That's when young Ashley Burroughs cleans the pool, getting it ready for summer and the steady stream of visitors that Maersk Lloyd, the city's party-mad mayor, uses to entertain his 'guests'. Mayor Lloyd is away every spring at the annual mayoral conferences, so Sutton takes advantage and scores with Ashley. Unfortunately, Millicent Folger -- Sutton's former colleague and now rival -- also covets Ashley's charms, and her interference puts her and Millicent on the rocks, so Millicent devises a way to get back at Sutton. But revenge is only the beginning of It Happens Only in Spring. Follow Glenna Pound's hilarious foray into satirical romance, as unscrupulous agents, Page Three journalists who will stop at nothing to get a story, Grant, the ex-husband, Gunner, the ex- choreographer, and the rest of the wacky crew tear up the Big Apple, trying to save, or destroy, what Sutton and Ashley have worked so hard to secure. No medieval romance here -- just savvy, witty dialogue and contemporary characters.

Between Ink and Espresso by SamHaylee

Wren Calloway had one dream: to open her own coffee shop and bookstore, a place where people could sip espresso and get lost in a good story. What she didn't plan for? Setting up shop right next door to the most insufferable, tattooed menace to ever exist-Weston Hale. Weston's been running Sin & Needle, his badass, no-nonsense tattoo shop, for years. It's his sanctuary, his turf, and the last thing he needs is a cozy little bookstore café attracting chatty customers and ruining his whole damn aesthetic. Wren is too loud, too confident, and too good at getting under his skin. Worse? He can't stop thinking about her. The feud between Sin & Needle and The Caffeinated Reader is instant, fiery, and petty as hell. • Weston swears she's bad for business. • Wren thinks he's just mad she's winning. • Their employees start placing bets on when they'll snap and make out already. But the more they fight, the harder it gets to ignore the tension buzzing between them. And when a bet between them forces Weston to spend more time in her world-where coffee smells like vanilla and laughter is too damn distracting-he starts to wonder if hating her was ever the point. She's caffeine. He's ink. They don't mix. So why does he keep coming back for another taste?

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️ by Soulwithapen

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all. He thinks he has changed for worse but what he doesn't know is that Emily has changed for the worst.

Birds of Feather by Quinloki

Life has not been kind to you. After a string of bad relationships, you're a little jaded and a little depressed in all honestly. The worst day of your life seems to be the turning point, but the roller coaster ride that follows could either throw you soaring free, or have you caged forever? Modern style AU set in the One Piece world. CW: Violence, blood, language, adult themes and scenes. Note: This is the second title that is inspired entirely by @lyndsyh (If you haven't read Some Direction, I'm quite proud of it, and it was inspired by Lyn's Closure title!) This story/book did not exist until yesterday, so please forgive me for adding another WIP, but I hope you enjoy it ^_^ (Lyn's also going to write her own x reader set in the same AU so I'll link that once it's up! ) ** Lyn's sister story to this is now out - Check out Puppy Love \o/ ** https://www.wattpad.com/story/351046950-puppy-love-trafalgar-law-x-reader

I Found the Babies by MinnieMeenyMinyMoe

Highest #1 - #babies #1 - #motherlove Terrence didn't waste a moment in pressing me up against the kitchen counter. "When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies." I shivered. ************************* Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices: 1. Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants. 2. Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails. 3. Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later. Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives. Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her. Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
