My Friend Is In A Coma, Part II

The memorials have already started on Steve's Facebook page. My friend Ian told me that Steve was still on life support the last time he talked to his dad, but they were basically planning on taking him off it to let him pass in his own bed instead of a hospital. It's entirely possible that he passed after Ian talked to his dad, hence the memorials.   I can't do the Facebook memorial just yet. Not until Ian confirms it to me on the phone.   There are just so many memories that I'm runn

Nano at last!

I remember last year I had heard of Nano and truly wanted to do it..I was all set and had a story forming in my mind....when tragedy struck. My father-in-law died on November 11th and all hell broke loose in my personal life. Writing was out of the question and wasn't even on my brain again until sometime the following March!   Finally though, working through things and with help; life went on. When this November rolled around, I was determined to do it! I had two writing buddies that would he

eBook Review: Catch a Ghost by SE Jakes

Catch a Ghost by S.E. Jakes My rating: 4 of 5 stars   I hesitated to read this book based on the cover title. I adore contemporary paranormal, but I have a... bias, we'll call it, about ghosts. I'm glad I gave Catch a Ghost a chance, however, because it's nothing like what you might expect.   I adore military fiction lately, especially anything that throws in otherworldly info for effect. The spit and polish is missing from the story for the military vibe... but that's because these guys ar

The Vigil

I have waited many nights like this Through the dissident thunders and winds running wild Through raindrops trickling from the broken windows I have waited in my vigilant silence   So dark your visage yet tranquil as smoggy mornings I have spent many nights trying to discern their silhouette Against the many shades of grey my vision had painted In the bleak canvas of nature’s blasphemous hawking   I fear her call, the insistent solicitation of a harlot Aware of nature’s charm in begu

The Fantastic Mr. Wilde

Now the Fun Begins

I finished NaNoWriMo! I’m a winner! I feel really happy and accomplished and proud of myself and very happy. Look, I got a certificate and everything!     Of course, this doesn’t mean that the novel is finished. Far from it. I’ve mostly finished all the chapters, and mostly done it the way I planned. But this is just a rough draft. Currently, the sequel to Nemesis (the proper title of which will be decided at a later date) is a collection of loose scenes, it feels like. That

Writing Prompts #282 & #283

Another Friday has rolled around. Here in the USA it is Black Friday and all the retailers try to get shoppers out and spending their holiday cash. Hopefully before everyone rushes out to do that I can gather a few interested souls in writing a prompt story or two.   Prompt 282 – Creative Tag – First Line “I’ve never had to tell this to anyone else, but I suppose it is time I did.”   Prompt 283 – Creative Tag – Birthday Gift You weren’t exactly looking forward to your birthday but arrived as

My Friend Is In A Coma

My friend of 6 years, Stoner Steve as I've referred to him over the years, is in a coma after overdosing on heroin. He's had brain hemorrhaging and things aren't looking good for him. Our friend Ian let me know in a post over Facebook.   I'm in total shock. Complete and totally. I had just talked to him on Facebook chat November 20th. According to Ian, Steve's dad found him on the floor on Saturday morning. They took him to the hospital, put him in a medically induced coma, and things were l

Just went through my annual performance review...

I just went through my annual performance review, today. I didn't know what to expect to be honest; I knew I did well, kept costs down, increased cash overall by about 35%, and made some damn good projections of receivables based on historical data. I also maintained a tight leash on state based tax agencies and hounded them for refunds due to technicalities of our rate adjustment versus their standard rate that we were automatically paying based on employees. (Tax stuff, but basically, if an em

Let Kids be Kids

Right, I am somewhat in a dizzy miffed off mood today. So this one is a bit of a rant.   There is something that I really just do not get! What is it about sex with a child????   Right, sex is about giving pleasure and taking pleasure right? It is about enjoyment and climax and orgasm right? It's about love and lust and emotions. And you can get ANY of that from a bloody kid???   Ian Watkins today pleaded guilty to a series of depraved child sex offences, including the attempted rape of

Life in Iowa so far

It's been amazing living on my own again, Oh I have missed not having to fight for the shower or the laundry room.   Things were a little rocky when I left home. My brother didn't take it so well and was upset he couldn't update my computer and that I was not paying for him to come with me. So what did he do??? Got into a fight with my dad and bent the fender on my u-haul trailer. My dad fixed the trailer pretty well since U-haul didn't notice. Since the cops were called and I am the one who c

Prompt du jour

Prompt du jour #4

I don't think anyone took the prompt last week, so without further ado this weeks prompt.   Prompt du jour #4 – Creative Tag: Mystery There’s a killer on the loose, and everyone in your community is scared. This is startling to you because you sense that the serial murderer is targeting a select class of citizen. Who is he/she and why are they targeting them?

Renunciation

My beloved didn’t answer my prayer I tried all my usual tricks I dried my tears at his feet I covered my head in my shame and walked away   Finally understood what it is to lose, to a pretty face An uncaring smile and those ravishing eyes Snuffed out my soft ambers’ austere plea My beloved didn’t look back   ©asamvav111

Catching Fire- My Thoughts (Spoilers)

I'll start out with my disappointments.   I really hated that they took out Johanna's "I don't care if you are knocked out, I'll rip your throat out" line, as well as the Second Quarter Quell. I was expecting that they would take them out, but I was hoping I was wrong. I think they should have kept in the foreshadowing about District 13 somewhere- I get why they cut out Bonnie and Twill, but they should have found another way to foreshadow them. I think they should've put in a little more abou

Touched

Ever stopped to wonder why some people leave an indelible mark on our lives?   It is something that I ponder often.   Take for example JFK. 50 years ago this week, a president that has in so many ways touched all of our lives, be us from a generation that were there at the time, or children of today's generation, he is a man that stood out in our world as a special man.   Was he perfect? Far from it. In fact, if you listen to the in depth analysis of his life as a man, he was pretty much

Biphobia

Disgusted cat is disgusted.     Biphobia.   What a strange word.   So bisexuality actually never has been a huge topic of interest to me (ironic since I identify as bisexual), but since I've started to become more open about my preferences I've seem to be meeting more and more people who find the concept confusing, controversial, and even highly offensive. When I started dating, I was actually really surprised at the number of people who doubted the very existence of my sexuality.   I'v

"I've Got the Blues" Tale of the Day

So, here's what happened to me. I worked a retail job for the Holidays last year. This year, I was told by the same retail job at the Holiday job fair that I would get to come back and do the seasonal job again. I came in a week later and asked to leave a message with the person who told me I was hired, but then they never got back to me.   Lo and behold, I came in today to find out what was going on and they told me that (shocker) I wasn't hired. They told me some bullshit excuse about
