New Theme

Hey there. Yes, you are at the correct site. I’m trying out a new theme. What do you think? Do you like this one better than the other one? Can you find everything the same?
This one gives me the ability to add my own header image, so I will have [...]

Fiction Friday - How to Buy a Time Machine

I thought I would post a little Ficlet I wrote the other day for you all to enjoy. This was inspired by a search I did on Ficlets yesterday for the tag “Time Travel”. On the results page for “Time Travel” there is a box on the right hand side for sponsored links, which I’m [...]

No Sleep

Man, this story is kicking my butt. Right now I have about three different versions of the story, all with the opening two paragraphs you all helped me with the other day. I was up until 11:30 last night working on it, though I’m not sure I got anywhere. Of course I [...]

Thanks! (followup to feedback post)

Thanks to all of you for the feedback on the short story excerpt I posted here yesterday. All of you treat yourselves to a nice ice cream cone. You deserve it.
Those of you who are just reading this today, it’s not too late to give me your $.02 (I accept checks and credit cards [...]

How is This - Feedback Please

I have a request for all of you. I am nearing the home stretch (and deadline) of the project I have been working on for the past month. The story I am writing is for a Theme Anthology, and it deals with a machine that with just a blood sample, will predict how [...]

Tagged - Four Things

I’ve been tagged by Karen for a Four Things meme and here are my answers. I don’t normally do these things, but I’m out of ideas for today and I thought this one was interesting (and easy to fill out ):
Four Jobs I’ve Had:
1. Summer Camp Counselor (4-8 year olds)
2. Snow Shoveling
3. [...]

Our Little Actress

My daughter, 10 months old, has been cracking me up lately.  Last Thursday, out of nowhere, she debuted a new laugh, which I guess could best be described as a “fake laugh”.  I really wish I had some audio of the laugh to share here, because it’s just too funny.  She still has her “hearty [...]

My Story Won’t Cooperate

The funny thing about stories is that sometimes they just won’t cooperate.  My current work in progress, deadline March 31, has gone through countless revisions and two completely different “plots” and just will not bend to my will, not matter how hard I try. Both stories are over 1000 words long, but I don’t feel [...]
