I hate doing this, but I've decided to withdrawl Jimmy from both RotM and TM. With my two other muses being so vocal, I'm afraid I haven't been able to pay close enough attention to Jimmy. That, and he's become very quiet as of late. I think he's lonely... I don't know. I just hope that someone who loves him like I do can pick him up and write for ( Read more... )

There ain't a whole lotta things in life more fragile than life itself. I think most people take livin' for granted, like it's somethin' that's theirs and it can't be taken away. But I know the truth. I've seen it taken away ( Read more... )

Emma used ta make this amazin' pie. I mean, I could eat the whole thing in one sittin' if she'd ever have let me.

And with all of us kids, mama had a hell of a time anyway. So when my birthday came 'round, I just stayed away. I'd go to the market and maybe pick up some candy for the others, or even just ( Read more... )

Sure. What I don't believe in are those silly stories Cody reads before we all go ta bed. Who's gonna believe somethin' like that, right? Well, other than Cody anyway. I don't get why he likes those stories. They're all written by someone just out ta take a body's money. Written by people like Marcus. At least he stopped readin' THOSE dime novels ( Read more... )

I suppose I'm supposed ta talk about what goes on in my head at night. All I know is that I prefer daytime. You can see things clearer in the day.
