The Friday Squeeze
Meet Clem and Honey 🍎🍊
Meet Clem and Honey!
Clem's the orange, Honey's the apple, and they're in love. They're a little adventurous too, and every week they get themselves into a brand new situation. This week, a pirate ship. Last week, a cozy campfire. Next week, who knows! A hot air balloon, a haunted library, a bank robbery!? Stay tuned, because a new cartoon with these two drops every Friday!
Clem swears it was Honey's idea. Honey swears it was Clem's. Neither of them can explain the octopus 🐙
So here's this week's game: how did a lovesick apple and an orange end up captaining a pirate ship at sunset? Tell me in the comments. One sentence or one wild paragraph, the more made-up the better. Bonus points if you name the octopus.
Every Friday I'll want the backstory. Make it up! That's half the fun.
And whenever these two show up, it's also your open invitation to share your own writing. The microphone is yours.
Drop a Substack you've written, a story you've never told anywhere else, a messy draft, or one good line you can't stop thinking about. You don't have to be recovering from anything to be here. You just have to write.
The soft rules:
One link or one piece per Friday, so nothing gets buried.
If you drop a piece, lift one. Read and respond to at least one other before you go. Writing is lonely enough. We don't do it alone in here.
All genres, all stages, all skill levels are welcome. Cruelty and drop-and-run self-promotion are not. We lift each other up, not just ourselves.
👋 Whether you're recovering from a cult or just recovering from the week, if you write, you've got a seat here 👇

Where do you think Clem and Honey will wash up next? Drop some ideas in the comments. If they like the idea, they may just end up there!
Stay tuned…
Let the Friday Squeeze begin!! 🍎🍊
