    Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 30 - Sept. 5)

    By wildone

    I want to send a hello out to Rudy Judy   Now that is out of the way, I get to explain that I was away from home all week.

I worked my job all week up there, but it was more tolerable with looking out the window at the mountains across the lake. The lake was quiet most of the week but all the jet skies and boat surfing (is that what they call it  ) made it noisy on Friday and brought back memories t

April Signature Author Feature: Incy Wincy Spider by northie

April, such an innocent month. Not a whole lot going on... so I thought I thought I'd send you curveball. Enjoy this little tidbit and think about what might be coming out of YOUR woodwork.   Length: 3,121 Description: Dave Harrison is late for work, again. Turns out, that's by far the least of his worries. A Reader said: If you like creepy mixed with humor, 'Incy Wincy Spider,' is the story for you.

Weekly Wrap Up (Apr. 4 - Apr. 13)

It might be spring where you are, except our friends in the Southern Hemisphere It was a beautiful day today and will be tomorrow. Only to be followed by snow on Monday and Tuesday  Well I said, darn it and I started my spring cleaning today. OMG, I can't believe how much I threw out, recycling where I can.

Of Pride and Power Chapter 29 is Live

Chapter 29 As I noted I'll be on vacation for a bit, I'll leave a few short stories just so folks get some more info on side characters and stories. As for this chapter, it's an interesting culmination of effects. In the 16th century, the forces of the Calvinism Protestants and Counter-Reformation Catholics were very powerful movements that warped society and enforced a lot draconian moral rules. Places like the Netherlands, which traditionally were far more liberal and cosmopolitan du

Tell, don't recount

Most of you will probably be familiar with the rule/advice "show, don't tell". (Actually, this advice is a little flawed in itself, as outlined in "Bad Character Intros vs Good Character Intros (Writing Advice)" by the YouTube channel "Writer Brandon McNulty", but that would be a whole over topic for another day ). What we are focussing on today, will be the telling aspect. Because, even though, there can be good "tell", when "show" wouldn't work, and then, there's bad "tell", which I

Book Review: The People V. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin

At the time it was called “The Trial of the Century,” though many people have forgotten it now, and others question that title.  There have been higher-profile trials since then, but Simpson’s trial did deliver shocks and forced questions about the American justice system. On 12 June 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson, Simpson’s ex-wife, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were brutally stabbed to death on the doorstep of her home. A mountain of evidence pointed to Simpson as their killer but, over

Thicker Than Water

Beyond Thicker Than Water....

I know I started this blog as a means to give greater context into Thicker Than Water and my writing process, which hasn't been well received (oh well), so I thought I'd turn this more into a discussion forum instead.  The first thing I'd like to discuss is to quote a Chicago song, "Where do we go from here?" I'm not yet done with Thicker Than Water, as I know how the story will end but not quite there yet.  I will be continuing the adventures of the characters in the story over on Nifty in
