I can see clearly now, part 4
I noticed a small blurry thing going on with my right eye last month. I knew it wasn't a hole, and was confident it wasn't a detached retina, but the eye simply seemed to be out of phase with with the left one. Since I have learned that one doesn't delay these kinds of things, I called my primary eye surgeon who got me in right away (They watch me ( Read more... ) -
Revisiting the Ghost of Stories Past
I was reviewing a few of my stories while writing my bit for the ds_workshop - some of them are just painful, some of them I absolutely adore. A couple of them seem to have flown by without anyone noticing, including me. I wondered about this for the last few days. Is it to be expected that one can actually forget a creation? Was the story ( Read more... ) -
The idiot and the croks surrounding him
That weasel commuted Libby's sentence. I'm not surprised his ratings are low - I just can't believe that there are still 27% of the people who think he's doing a good job.
Impeach them all! -
ds Workshop post is up - RaySpeak
This was a fun assignment. He is such a joy to play with, and I get a kick out of writing a story that earns those "It sounds just like Ray!" comments.
Pretty funny when I consider I wrote my first thirty or so stories without seeing a single RayK episode... -
Writer's Block: Words that you love and hate
What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why?
Inexorably is one of my favorites, particularly if one can hear Richard Burton (the actor, not the explorer) saying it. Also like numinous...

A Goal Met
I finally had one of my stories go to collapsed threads in the comments section - how's that for a milestone? Absolutely ridiculous, but going over 50 comments has been a goal since day one. Is that petty or what? I really need a good night's sleep (and higher expectations :-> )... -
How does Your Garden Grow?
Mine is blooming quite nicely - three years and hundreds of hours later. I'd post a picture but I ran out of mulch and Home Depot was out of stock for the kind I've been using. Can't put in the rest of the walk without another 8 bags ( Read more... ) -
Slow night...
Surfing, catching up, and stumbled upon a meme concerning Top Ten Fictional Characters you'd do in a heartbeat. I decided to put them in chronological order of when the obsession began ( Read more... ) -
It's snowtime
the weatherman said we'd get a light dusting, maybe an inch or two last night before all hell breaks loose this evening. I woke up to 6-8 inches. Pretty interested to see how wrong he is about the rest of the forecast... The winds are expected to reach 50 mph. Fortunately I did my grocery shopping yesterday and stopped at the mystery bookstore to ( Read more... )
