Meandering Monday about Shunning Suicide

It’s the last day of the year 2018. Every year at this time we reflect on the year that was, the big stories and events that dominated the news during the year. Some of us remember auld lang syne, and some of us drink to it. Everyone: be especially careful on the roads tonight, please. … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Through Her Eyes”

The Holidays continue! Now that we’re in the gap between Christmas and New Year’s, I’m sure you’re all preparing your resolutions – you know, the promises made on New Year’s Eve that often don’t last til New Year’s Day. How about a story involving a lady who thinks that her man has reneged on his … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Dealing with Disappointment

Last week’s goals: 3 blog posts done as usual. Stories cycled to market in a timely manner (“Date Night” is back out there – running out of places to send it; it may become my February release.) TOTAL FAIL on commenting on others’ blogs – a big fat ZERO. If I’m going to be serious … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about… Merry Christmas!

The big day’s tomorrow, and there’s no time for meandering today – so little time and so much to do, so all I have to say is: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Hope yours is full of happiness – even if you don’t celebrate the holiday. And if you’re one of those who chooses to take offense at … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Quiet!”

Happy Holidays! Looks like Christmas doesn’t come up much in my fiction (like ONE TIME), so it’s a struggle if I want to stay topical with these fractured fragments. How about this – The 46th anniversary of the end of the final Apollo mission (17) was Wednesday (the mission was December 7th through the 19th), … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Are You a People Person?

Last week’s goals: 3 blog posts done as usual. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available (had another close call – meaning almost acceptance on “Date Night”.) Failed on comments on others blogs – only one. Next release (set for January 4th) will be “Cats Out of the Bag” (Herc Tom, Champion … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Virtue Intimidation

The winner of the Heisman is subjected to a feeding frenzy of social media ostracism because he used an objectionable slur when he was in his teens – maybe 7 years ago. He must be made to tow the line and bow to whatever the PC Gods demand. He must be intimidated into VIRTUE SIGNALLING. … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Business is Business”

We’re still in the holidays, and so to stay topical, I’ll tell you that the next story mentions Christmas in it (conveniently, because I’m really just picking it because it’s the earlies ePublication that I haven’t done a fractured Friday for.) It’s also a fairy tale adaptation, which also seems appropriate for the Holidays. Here’s … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: My Precious…

Last week’s goals: 3 blog posts done. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available (still no activity with only 2 stories circulating.) Comments on others blogs minimal again, but pitifully still enough to get by. Next release (set for January 4th) looks more and more like it will be “Cats Out of … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Sausage

I love sausage. There’s a saying about not wanting to see how the sausage is made – it’s of course not always about SAUSAGE – just an analogy about how there are some (MANY, actually) things that it’s better that you NEVER know the details of. When a child wants to know about chicken nuggets, … Continue reading →
