Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 29 - Jul. 05)

It was a party of North America the past week  Well, we have to wait for Mexico in September. Yes, Canada threw a party on Tuesday and the US of A had one on Friday. I have to admit, a Friday one sounds better  It was a weird work week. Work Monday, off Tuesday, and then back Wednesday to Friday. I woke up this morning thinking I had to go to work. Didn't take that long to get my head screwed on right and headed back to bed at 6 AM   So I had a hotdog to celebrate America's birthday y

I Don't Like the Anthology Theme. What do I do?

GA features several writing events throughout the year, usually with a theme.  When themes are announced, there are generally two reactions - yay, I love it! or WTF were you thinking?  Participating in site events is fun and a great way to get your work out there and gain new readers.  So, what happens when you want to participate in a site event but don't like the theme?  I'm going to outline some tips and tricks to still participating, even if the theme doesn't "speak" to you.

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 22 - Jun. 28)

Wow, if I mess this up, it is all my fault. The past couple of weeks, I seem to be seeing double whenever I'm looking at a screen for more than an hour . I need to book an appointment with my optometrist and see if my eye sight has changed. I've worn glasses/contacts all my life, and believe it or not, over the past 5-6 years, my eyes keep getting better 😮 I'm told it has to do with controlling my blood sugar the best I have in 53 years . Thank gosh for insulin pumps. Enough of my sob story

Coming back to the light.

Anxiety is like a long, dark tunnel. You can maybe, if you squint just right, see a dim light at the far end. But as you move towards it, it flickers and dims as you encounter a turn in the tunnel. You begin to doubt that there was a light. That what you saw was just a figment of your imagination. You do, eventually, reach some light. Only to find another tunnel. And it’s just as dark. And twisty. The tunnel is cold, damp, and dark. Very, very dark. Sometimes, you can see that light fl

Date Night

There are many different types of dates: a blind date, a first date, a second date, a coincidental date, a regular date, and a last date. Which will it be?   PT #291 It’s a balmy summer evening. Every table is occupied at the seaside restaurant. Dali sits alone at the table watching the sunset. Which kind of date is this?   PT #292 It seems circumstances have conspired to make someone late for their date: there are only red lights, construction sites, and
