Who’s ciofki, why should I care?
Creator of ciofki c-notes: Sixty Second Sojourns. A c-note is 100 words, not including the header, (Title) or footer (signatory line). Among my c-notes are:
#RumpRoast#Goth-Ick tales
Tales of the #ElectricSerengeti#PundementalTruth
general snark
and the occasional truth bomb.
Not every c-note will be to one's liking, I'm sure, but that’s the beauty of what I do. Just browse my mind’s wares and pick what you like. It’s my wish is to be able to continue putting food on my table by using my limited talents. Feel free to vote, comment, or message me. Hope to hear from you.
