You take me from the cold and grim and bring the summer's warm embrace; I would not call it chance or whim, but in the freezing winter, grace. Thank you.
-
I am in your corner, thinking of you.

I feel badly for Philippe, as he seems left all alone. Gerald leaving him in Paris like that seems very painful. I liked how you used light and the squall line as a metaphor for what Philippe has gone through and what he might get experience.

What an interesting take on the ancient stories! You’ve brought so many dusty words to life. Thank you.
-
Loved when the heart did that flippy thing. Perfect accompaniment to these hors d’oeuvres.

You help us understand Pam better in this chapter. Even as she drives everyone batty, we can grasp what might be going on in her heart. Owen shows how hard he tries to overcome his anger without denying it; he very firmly tells Pam what he feels, yet he boils over only once. Thanks for another great chapter.

I enjoyed this story, especially after last night’s snow. It’s wonderful when fate or fortune bring two people together. Thanks for this.
-
This is a beautiful story of love and care. Wayne and Dooley are the center from which love extends like ripples in a pond; you write that so well.
-
You describe several battles going on, and each holds my attention: Gary’s battle against cancer, Elias’ battle with time and inspiration, and Jeremy’s battle with despair and alcohol. I’m also moved by the peaceable kingdom image I get from Harlan’s view of the campground. Looking forward to what happens next.

Cluelessness, thy name is Parker...

I never met any chili I didn't like. I've tasted all sorts of marvelous variants, including venison and kielbasa chili. This is a wonderful tale of a very difficult situation. That white knuckle kind of driving you describe is enough to bring on a headache. You've written a lovely, mystic tale that needs no explanation. Thank you.

Oh, this sounds like a scrumptious end to a beguiling story. I feel for the younger sister. Great revenge, too.
-
You’re very kind, my brother. It makes me happy that these brought you gladness.
-
I’m glad you noticed November. It’s no surprise that the winter and pre-winter months seem to get more lines and attention. The winter seems to last so long. I’m glad you liked that month particularly, as it was very satisfying. Thanks so much for reading and responding!
-
February took a very long time to write. The snapshot is harder to write than I imagined. I’m very happy you liked July. I have memories of being in the eternal outfield as a boy. Thanks very much for encouraging me in these.
-
You’re very kind. It seems that motionlessness is harder to write than it at first appears. February took forever to write. Thanks so much for reading these!
-
You’re so right that holidays are often hell on those who have diabetes, gluten allergies or other food conditions. Dealing with uncomprehending friends and family hurts. You illustrate some real love - someone who cares, even though learning and changing for one's beloved is an effort. Thanks.

I enjoyed the kindness of Nathan and Drew as much as the Sweet Man recipe. They helped Karen remember that life can be full of kindnesses and sweet men.

Kimo Calendar January’s river stands immobile, frozen hard in mid-ripple, its sweet laughter silenced. Two February shovels rest aslant, weary against the door frame, exhausted by the snow. Improbable March winter aconites bloom where the slow melting drifts await the first robin. Clouds of April’s snowy apple blossoms show off for the ardent bees heedless of the late frost. Brand-new May butterflies sun themselves

Featured Story: After the Past
Parker Owens commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Gay Authors News
Wonderful review, @mollyhousemouse. I remember reading this story and not wanting to have to wait for the next chapter to post. It's a story that will have have you hooked and drawn in. I'm very glad to see it here this morning. -
This poem made me remember the voice of my grandmother singing, and now I wonder who wrote all those songs she sang. We can be giants or gnats, but what you say here is so true: that some people continue to reveal themselves long after they die. Thank you.

I’m enjoying this new Australian adventure. I hope the wedding goes off smoothly; it sounds as if it has been hard to work around the mother of the groom.
-
Jack is falling from grace as quickly as a stone falls from a cliff. I fear the crash when he hits the ground will be brutal. I feel badly for Damon, annoyed at Alyssa and angry at Jack's father. You've done well in bringing my emotions to a lather.

I love the fine distinctions of Crazy outlined here. I have indeed encountered Bus Crazy, and it's a perfect description. But then the end you devised for this series of encounters topped it all. That was a perfect build up. And thank you for the cookies!
-
This is a beautiful story, and one sure to provoke conversation. I’m glad you created a character like William who saw the light in both Daniel and Colin, unlike Hilda who was blind to it.
