A few weeks ago I took Amiee up on a writing prompt she put out for a blog contest. Super thrilled to discover that I have been honored as the winner. Check out the post http://aimeebeatricejodoin.blogspot.com/2011/08/and-winner-of-beginning-contest-is.html for a bit of fun. As so many people have h...

Odd question. What is in a name? In my history as a reader it is much more often that I remember an impression or an act of a character than I remember their name. Even in films I have that 'problem' What'shisface who kisses so and so five seconds after they met. Who does that? At least in the begin...

This morning I stamped both feet, woke my downstairs neighbors and .......... registered on Twitter. I'm not nervous like Trixie. But then again, yes, I think I am nervous. I would like to keep my life, thanks very much. All I've heard is that Twitter sucks it all up like a dirt devil.

Errr....its been around since like 2008 :-P One interesting thing I've read with Google+ is that it is not for businesses, and they have been canceling business accounts left & right because of it. Would guess that means they have nothing like "pages" or the like? I heard the business...

The individual volumes don't have titles?

Unique. It’s one of those words thrown out so much that it loses it meaning. Not in my case. I truly am one of a kind. But when people call me special, it’s said in either a mocking tone or a voice dripping with pity. Yes, I am one of a kind, but only by the process of elimination. The elimination ...

On its own the text is confusing but the sheer In-Your-Face writing drew me in if only to understand if my ...

Man, I hate I'm late to the party (we have outta town comp'ny), but better you than never late than me ...aw hell, you know what I mean. I'm not much good at critiques and worse about picking good better and best. I can say that y'all could have gone over 250 words and I wouldn't notice. Any way, I...

On the banks of the Kennet a boy once ran faster than the current. For a man this would have been not at all a challenge. But for a boy the pace was urgent for his whole life was ahead of him. The cherry trees bloom along the Kennet. A cluster of them sit squat and round while he sits hunched and ga...

Perhaps a contest in the sense of the ancient Attic Orators' competitions? An antagoniste on his own initiative stands upon a block in the public forum and speaks his piece. Spectators might gather and listen, judge, and remark to each other on the caliber of the speaker's argument, style, craft, v...

Hurrah for forward motion. I keep thinking of Finding Nemo.

Only with a gmail address for sure? or just a hunch? My jury is still out on Google+ My private life is offline so the facebook privacy problems...it hasn't bothered me as much for whatever reason. But I was on facebook when it was still for college students and the entire world changed. Whatever Go...
