A little help here...

Well, even in the realization that it'll very likely be several years before I actually get anything published (time factor), I still have a few burning questions in my head that I'd really like some clearing up on. Of course, I have read a book on marketing, but it just can't compare to actual... Sign in to see full entry.

I got the idea for this one after an excruciatingly dull day at work (one month later, I quit. No point in staying if you catch yourself sighing and/or moaning at least ten times a day!) BORED TO DEATH As I stared at the clock that tick-tocked like a snail And sat lethargically at the foot of my... Sign in to see full entry.

The grass is always greener in another country when you eat!

I was going to place another poem here, but I'm hungry. I'm going to make a couple of Dutch babies now and do the poem later. AND (quick admonishing finger in the air) I'm talking about the pastry, so no saucy comments! It's a very simple, quick recipe and it's good. Half cup milk, half cup flour, 2...

Hee hee HEEE!

Oh, I'm so happy, I've got the sweats (damn, and I just put on a new sweater today)! I know a lot of creative people, but most of them are musicians and artists (paint and such), none writers. What a complete joy it is to finally discuss some of the bats flapping around in my attic with people who... Sign in to see full entry.

What the...?

Anybody ever write an idea down without knowing how it's going to end? Just for the hell of it, I placed an entry in the Blogit Cafe (took a little walk on the wild side tonight, I did!). The last sentence started with something like "Here's hoping things will make sense this year...." I really... Sign in to see full entry.

Cliches never go out of fashion?

You know, cliches can be a lot of fun if you give them another spin. You can't think linear (from point A to point B, face value...), though, you have to look at them from all sides. Thought I'd try my hand at poetry. My mother says my poetry resembles Shel Silverstein's work (loved him as a kid).... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday Musings

Silence of the Banshee. I've always known that when you write, a piece of you permeates into the paper (or these days, the computer screen) in some way or other, whether or not you're aware of it. When I wrote Silence of the Banshee, I had a lot of frustrations rattling around up there in that attic... Sign in to see full entry.

You can't fool God...

THE SIN-EATER'S PRICE Just about everything in this world can be eaten. Most of these are good and wholesome. As soon as they are digested, they give us strength and nourish the soul. Some things - like red toadstools, Belladonna, and rocks - are not so benevolent. They'd sooner land a man belly-up.... Sign in to see full entry.

Time out for laughter

MUCH ADO ABOUT A CHICKEN "WHAT DID YOU THINK THE CHICKEN WAS FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE," God screamed, pulling his magnificent white hair out in great holy frustration. The Holy Ghost put his hands behind his back and hung his head in abject embarrassment. He looked up at God with large, incandescent... Sign in to see full entry.

Silence of the Bean Sidhe

Silence of the Bean Sidhe Everyone is familiar with the Banshee's wail. It is the silence in between screams, however, that is important. Bean Sidhe /Ban'-shee/ - In Irish folklore, the Bean Sidhe (woman of the hills) is a spirit or fairy who presages a death by wailing. She is popularly known as... Sign in to see full entry.
