GOALS UPDATE from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market on schedule as best I can (still don’t have a new flash fiction market for “Schizo the Magnificent” and “All the News…”.) Still need to decide which story I’ll release on June 8th (yes, it’s getting close.) I was minimally social, but … Continue reading

Meandering Monday about What They Died For
Memorial Day – when we remember those who have died in our armed services, and especially what they died for. What is it that they were fighting for? Certainly not for one party or the other. Yes, a majority of service members will vote Republican, but that’s NOT why they are there (they won’t ask … Continue reading
Free-form Friday: Freezing the Wheel
I’ve been on vacation this week.

GOALS UPDATE from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market on schedule as best I can (except for “Schizo the Magnificent”, due to the dearth of flash fiction markets.)

She would berate parents for protesting “violins on television” (instead of violence), or complain … Continue reading
Fig-leaf Friday: Putting a Good Face Forward
People are peculiar critters. We all have things that are part of our nature, things we’re not proud of, so we don’t generally want these characteristics observed by others. We put a good face forward in public, when we think we’re being observed. When we think we’re not being watched – when we believe ourselves … Continue reading
Writing Wednesday: What Madness in My Method?
GOALS UPDATE from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market on schedule as best I can (doing ok, except for “Schizo the Magnificent”, which, like “All the News That’s Fit for You” is flash fiction – there aren’t as many markets for flash.) My next scheduled release is June 8th – still … Continue reading
