Sounds like her nationality is more of a problem than the fact that she's a mother (and a woman). But if you want to write a mother, bring out your own inner mother. Just think of what you would do if you were in her shoes. We mothers are just like the rest of you, I promise -- just use your own experience and you'll be fine.

Mahmoud is getting married and his sister has a boyfriend. Neither is a cause for celebration.
-
The Café by Procyon White Mahmoud looked at the waiter. Decidedly gay, always smiling a nice, effeminate smile, wagging his head and batting his eyelids. Far too gay for Mahmoud’s taste, yet he was somehow attractive. Mahmoud never went to cafés, at least not to this kind of café. He didn’t know what had made him come in here today. Maybe it was the fact that he’d been walking past this place many times and it had – well, it’d just looked so nice. So inviting. So unl

Messing with Time by Procyon Deep down I knew it’d be bad – one shouldn’t mess with time; one shouldn’t try to look into the future. But we didn’t think of that then. It was Midsummer’s Eve, one of the four magic nights of the year, and we’d decided to spend the night at a crossroads where four roads met and thus get to see into the future. People used to do that a long time ago; we’d heard about it, and one of us had read about it in a book. It was like one of those gh

Consolation comes to Jim, who's had a bad breakup, in a very doughty form.

The Man and His Sourdough by Procyon ‘I just don’t think things are working between us,’ said George, sitting opposite Jim in the little café they always went to. Jim was dumbfounded. This couldn’t be true. ‘I – it’s not you, it’s me,’ George went on as Jim said nothing. ‘I need some space, I need time to think.’ They sat there for some seconds, Jim staring at the table, George looking at a spot on the wall just behind Jim. ‘I’ve packed my things,’ George said, clearing hi

My boyfriend's smell -- juuust kidding, I don't have one -- but I like the smell of lavender. Not that I need anything to steam me up if I'm with the right person.

I've got violently red toenails right now since I had them PEDICURED in Tunisia last week, haha. Not my favourite colour though...

Tiger -- aww, thanks for starting the thread! Mike -- great that you know where my name comes from -- I always imagine canis minor as a dog similar to my mother's toy poodle. Krista -- I did have a great day, thanks. corvus -- aww, thanks -- hopefully I'll hear a fairly good 'son iiiiiiiiiiiiiio' in November, anyway. Bugeye, Drewbie -- thanks, I did have a lot of fun. Mark -- late is great, actually -- I'm always late myself.

Isaac Asimov and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.. hmm.

Lol, totally! That was a great serial, too... Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat are one of the greatest couples I've seen on ice:

Dirty Poll #4 (Aimed at gay men and straight women)
Procyon commented on Tiger's blog entry in Strife and Harmony
I voted no because I already like pussy, specifically my own -- not very interested in other people's pussies since I already have one... -
It's the endorphins. Don't worry, you're just a drug addict.

Good idea! Letters are underrated, and some of those would probably make great short stories. Of course about seven of them would be to the same person, for me, but that's okay.

I picked winter because I knew that was correct for Northern Europe (and the Northern Hemisphere I suppose), but I wasn't sure about the rest of the world -- but I did know that heart attacks increase during the cold season, and not only if you don't dress properly, and I did know that most deaths occur at 3 a.m. on January nights here in Northern Europe. However, I suppose there must be more people in the developing world than in the northern part of the northern hemisphere, really... so is this really valid?

Three years, four months, and 26 days for me. My dad always kept track of people's death days and it was one of the many things about him that annoyed me, but now I understand...

Can't expect the US to do well when they don't even know what sport it is... GO ENGLAND!!!

Yeah, this is a very interesting question, because I think I'd get too upset in a situation like that to just hear the arguments and be reasonable. I read an article about a man whose wife planned to commit suicide and told him about t beforehand so he could go to the library in the meantime, for the sake of getting an alibi... (she had a very painful terminal disease as well, of course) and I couldn't stop thinking of how terribly it must have been for him to be there and know he'd never see her again, and to know that he could still save her (she took an overdose). Of course one doesn't want to see a loved one die a painful, slow death either, but still... so definite, irreversible. Imagine the loneliness afterwards.

This was a really nice story to read, both because they found love at a stage in life when they thought they had no chance of that anymore, and -- of course -- because of the ending... I agree with Graeme, though -- what a thing to do! To jump without asking, without consulting the other's opinion (which might of course be the only way since one would know that the other would say no) -- but I reacted very strongly to that while I was reading. Especially since he left his partner on his own, unable to walk. How selfish is that? But then I chose to believe that he somehow knew that his wish would come true already before he jumped... Thanks for a good story!

Happy Easter!! :) The greatest holiday there is, to me, though Christmas and Midsummer are also great.

...And they all lived happily ever after.

"I'm quite optimistic about the future, even by my rosy standards." -- great to hear. -
P.S. So yeah, I'd give the same answer as your friend did...
