    2026 Poetry Anthology - Choices - **Wrap-up**

    By Valkyrie

    We had twelve poems featured for this year's poetry anthology. What a perfect way to celebrate National Poetry Writing Month! A huge thank you to all who participated by writing poems, reading, reacting, commenting, and reviewing.  Participation is what keeps these events going every year, and I know myself, for one, look forward to the anthologies all year.  I couldn't coordinate the anthologies without help, so I'd like to give a shout-out to the people who make things happen behind the scenes

September 2025 CSR Feature: Cliff's Pendant by Altimexis

In light of the time of year, the start of the school year for so many from preschool to college, and the nearing deadline of the coming anthology, I wanted to feature a past anthology with a school tag. I plugged in those filters (have you tried that system?!) and viola! This month readers get to enjoy Cliff's Pendant, a short story written by Altimexis for the 2021 Fall Anthology themed "An Unconventional Gift". And if, like me, you're going crazy with your IRL schedule, this is a snack-sized

Weekly Update (Aug.24 - Aug. 30)

Like wowsers  ! Where did the summer go? In my neck of the woods, Labour Day is the unofficial last day of the summer season. Not that we will have a blizzard blowing in on the 2nd, although some people think that happens in Canada  (not naming names) and yet we still have summer weather all month. Just things kind of slow right down. Resorts are quieter, kiddies are back in school, big kiddies are in uni/college/trade school, etc.  I decided to take a work week out of town last week

Escaping for just a little while

Elder Care 102

Warning, somewhat of a rant ahead.  I signed up for this. I knew what I was getting into when I made the decision to move back to Massachusetts and into my mother-in-law's home. My MIL will be 91 in November and has been in a slow, but steady decline over the past few years. We could easily see it whenever we visited.  It starts out slowly. They no longer walk as fast or as far. After a while they are holding onto your arm to go down the curb. Next, they use a cane for anything outside

SFTF Chapters 21 & 22

So, Chapters 21 and 22 of Swing for the Fences have both been posted now, and they're what I would consider "transitional" (and shorter) chapters, giving Nick and Jack some time to "settle in" as new boyfriends and be happy and in love for a little while. But stay tuned for Chapter 23 (which will be posted on Wednesday, September 3rd), as some more "excitement" will come along to challenge Nick and his friends. The second round of revisions/edits for Medellin is taking longer than I expecte

Sensory Overload

Good writing engages the senses, so let's explore some ways to do that.     PT Prompt #301: Choose a sense and then describe something related to that sense to someone lacking that sense.  For example, describe colors to a blind person or music to a Deaf person.     PT Prompt #302: Write from the POV of an individual experiencing sensory overload.  It could be too much noise, light, touch, etc.         Be sure to check out @BendtedWreath an

Writing Short Stories

Classic Author Libby Drew wrote a great guest article a couple of years ago about her take on writing short stories.  Since this year's anthology is fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to re-feature it.
