    Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 15 - Sept. 21)

    By wildone

    First thing first, I really need anyone who is thinking to enter our yearly Anthology, please see Val's Thursday blog and if you fingers haven't started typing, get them going! As you read this, I am indisposed. Read into that what you want . But I'm up by a lake in the mountains looking at the colours change for fall.  So next week in the northern hemisphere, we flip into fall, autumn, whatever you like to call it. Down under the equator, they are about to hit spring   What is y

What matters to me and what matters to you?

Lots of stuff has changed in the last 4 months: I have left my old job and have moved to a new company. I am getting paid more working as a corporate accountant for an insurer, but I felt more drained and lost ever since I got this new job. I have done a lot in health care, a lot in finance, but there is something so mechanical and dehumanizing with the insurance industry. I don't know what it is, but I think I can understand why Brad Pitt started a Fight Club Revolution now   I have been sor

What a difference a year makes

It’s been almost a year since I posted a blog entry, but what a different place I find myself in now to where I was a year ago which was kinda dark and more than just a little bit scary. When I read those last few blog entries I can see how much I was retreating inside myself, letting negativity and self-doubt take over and keep me from doing the things I loved. I’d stepped away from martial arts, stepped away from writing, stepped away from almost every online community I belonged to and just s

20th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, which is the largest domestic terrorist attack that has happened in the U.S. On April 19th, 1995, 168 people died when Timothy McVeigh parked a van in front of a federal building filled with explosives. Bill Clinton, who was president when the attack happened, lead the memorial ceremony today. 20th Anniversary of Oklahoma City Bombing Remembered   I was 2nd grade when this happened, and its the first big tragedy that I remem

Boston Bomber

I'm tired of hearing about murderers in the news. I don't really think their trials are newsworthy. The latest headline concerned the Boston Bomber. Do victims' families want him executed? I guess some journalist took a poll.   You know what, who cares? My opinion on the Boston Bomber can be summarized in four words: Take Out The Garbage.   Human life is neither precious nor rare enough to nurse a mass-murderer all his days. There are millions in the world dying of various causes, disease, f

Boys and Sex

There has always been some inequality of the sexes - even tonight my son was teasing a teammate that he'd been beaten by a girl and I had to explain to him why that wasn't the way to tease. But, as was discussed in the recent Sanitaria Springs story, Asher, there exists a disconnect between boys and underage sex and girls - specifically when their partner is of legal age.   Firstly, sex in these circumstances is, in my opinion, wrong. It isn't an equal relationship, the adult has the power, th

Author Interview: Andy78

Andy78 is the featured Signature Author this week, and as always, we have a great interview where he can share just a little bit more about himself with site members. I decided to change up the questions, so we have a few new ones this time to go with some of my favorites. Andy actually said, "Thank god you didn't ask the what are you wearing question." Maybe if I had, Andy would've been sharing A LOT about himself.   Single people often have more time to write. Are you single? Nope. I’ve bee

Apology and Explination of recent events.

Hello Everyone,   As I mentioned in my last post I have been on a hiatus due to family issues and work issues. It saddens me to say that I am going to have to extend it.   In addition to working full time I am also a care giver to elderly grandmother. Unfortunatly her health has taken a further down turn and much of my free time hs devoted to her assisting my mother,( who is her primary caregiver), in taking care of her. I won't go into too many details but she will be having major surgery

Pope Francis is Right

Pope Francis was right to name the atrocities committed by the Turks against the Armenians what they are, genocide. The Turkish ambassador to the Vatican flapped his wings and flew away in protest. Hey, if Turkey wants to act like a turkey, so be it. The fact remains that Christian blood has been on Muslim hands for the past hundred-odd years, and no amount of white-washing is going to get that stain off.   I like Pope Francis, even though he disagrees with me on a lot of things and even thoug

echos of the past

Tonight while trying to get a date set for my brother's memorial one of his friends messaged me on FB. I thought it was his first girlfriend, but it turned out to have been someone he dated later.   In the last couple times my brother and I talked, we finally talked about the foster home, what happened, why people didn't listen. I learned a lot. It wasn't that people didn't listen, they did, and some even reported it, but the people investigating dropped the ball.   Tonight I learned that e

The Life and Times of a High School Dropout

Tempt not too much the hatred of my spirit, for I am sick when I do look on thee.

Shakespeare really did write the best insults.   Anyways, not a ridiculously eventful week, besides my lack of cash and some nasty people in my life. Watching alot of television, going on spur of the moment dates, and getting trapped in the rain.   Been reading alot of astrology lately. Some philosophy here and there, and classic theatre. Shakespeare. King Lear in particular. Some Hamlet, but i've been through that so many times it barely counts.   So last year, i was in a... i hesitate to

Sometimes I Like To Wander Around Like a Stranger

Sometimes, on certain days like today, I like to wander around Center City pretending I'm a complete stranger to this place and seeing it for the first time. I take random turns down streets without looking at their signs as if I have no idea where I'm going. I try to look for little details in the surrounding buildings that I've never noticed in order for them to seem new again. New and shiny like that first time I stepped foot in this city when I was 18 in October of 2010. I try and recapture

Writing Prompts #408 & #409

Hope everyone has had a great week so far and is looking forward to the weekend. What better way to start it off than with brand new prompts!

A couple of things to remember: Prompt responses under 1,000 words must be posted as part of a collection.   Prompt 408 – Creative Tag – First Line “If you ever threaten him again, I’ll kill you.”   Prompt 409 – Cre

Blast from the Past

In 1983 this cartoon lampooning Jerry Falwell appeared in Hustler triggering a long running legal case1.   Just for your edification, I thought I would post a copy of it here. For historical purposes of course.   As for Jerry Falwell, as of this hour, the degenerate culture-war criminal remains stone cold dead.   For those of you that grew up after the AIDS apocalypse, Jerry Falwell was the man most responsible for the Moral Majority movement that swept Reagan into power in the eighties

More than Mechanics!

How much time on a weekly basis, or even monthly, do you spend--not just your actual writing---but on the mechanics of writing? Just browsing a writing website or style guide can be fun if you're a geek like me, and I often reference them when I have a rule I'm not sure of when I'm editing. But the rules of writing aren't the only things to think about; there are all sorts of ways to refine your writing that have nothing to do with proper nouns or proper use of possessive punctuation/formats!
