Memorial Day
Today I have taken several moments to pause, honor, remember and reflect on my brothers and sisters in arms who made the ultimate sacrifice, some who I knew, most who I did not, and all with whom an unspoken bond is shared. I am former Navy, my first port visit was Pearl Harbor. It was... Continue Reading →

Sale Price – She Is The New Savior
Kindle version discounted pricing.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KCWNKGW/ Kelly Dress' world is turned upside down in a hideously violent attack. She vows to take revenge, and what follows is an engrossing tale which is part feminist fairy-tale, part religious satire, part revenge fantasy. I was absolutely held by the story. The premise is very clever, very well constructed, and... Continue Reading →

Check Out Independent Storytellers
I love to read as much as I love to write. Well, almost. In addition to articles, news, professional journals and blogs, nightly I work on reading a book. Whether a novel, novella or collection of short stories -- I end the day by reading a fellow raconteur's written words. By choice, I am a... Continue Reading →
How Long Does It Take To Write A Fictional Story?
There are no shortcuts ....you can’t expect tomorrow’s results yesterday, without putting forth the effort today.
Focus On Telling A Good Story
Even the great Ernest Hemingway would only allow editing for spelling and punctuation (and this he often ignored).
Easy Diet Blog
A question to my fellow bloggers. I used to follow a blog by WordPress blogger Ilona, titled "Easy Diet Blog." It was very much the polar opposite of mine - uplifting and positive. It was for that reason I used to enjoy checking it out. I know blogs come and go, but, I'm just wondering;... Continue Reading →

Hemingway On Writing

Just because someone doesn’t like your story…..
.....doesn't mean you didn't tell a good story! On the author pages I belong to on social media, I see comments from authors distraught that someone gave their writing a negative review. In a profound way, when I read these comments, it pains me. When someone reviews a story, the odds are their review does... Continue Reading →
FANFICTION – Harley Quinn Meets The True Savior
Dr. Harleen Quinzel’s view: What have I been doing all this time? Why am I imprisoned? Why am I kissing that freak The Joker? I look at him in horror. He is my patient, what the hell is he doing? I push him away. He strikes me. I have a baseball bat. I’m not sure... Continue Reading →
Hemingway’s Nobel Acceptance Speech
Ernest Hemingway's economy of words style applied not only to his writing. His Nobel acceptance speech is a little over three hundred and thirty words. What an incredible three hundred and thirty words they are.... Having no facility for speech-making and no command of oratory nor any domination of rhetoric, I wish to thank the administrators...
