Wanted: Rapier Wit

Sigh... I wish I was as half as quick with words as I am on paper. I'm one of those people who can't think of a good come-back until well into the night. I'm the one that sits at the perimeters of the group and listens, commenting only sporadically and if I have some really good to say. A die-hard... Sign in to see full entry.

The Wizard's Chamber, part 3

Okay, I admit it! I'm lazy by nature! Tonight, I'm going to indulge and, instead of thinking up an entirely new post, I'm gonna use the third part of my story. Not very social of me. Not very dedicated or heroic, but practical. And the Dutch can be so very practical! One of the reasons why I stayed... Sign in to see full entry.

Little Bit 'o Banshee Screamin'!

For the first time in about a week, I checked my e-mail and what did I find insidiously lurking between the spam and stale announcements (a 4-day-old mail from a friend "Call me tomorrow!" Oops.)? A chain letter! Oh ew! Oh yuck! Oh a-pox-upon-whoever-sent-me -this -odious-thing screech! Why, why, oh... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I promised someone part 2, so here it is (it's not the last, by the way)! The Wizard's Chamber, part 2 “You are...fair.” The pause in the young man’s voice belied him. No matter.

So I guess I oughtter get a few words in beforehand! Werewolves This is actually a very broad subject, I'm beginning to realize. However, I'm short... Sign in to see full entry.

Simply monstrous!

I was a weird kid (and proud of it!). While my friends listened to the soothing music of Strawberry Shortcake, The Smurfs, or Barbie, I was listening to a record which consisted wholly of monster noises. If I couldn't fall asleep at night, my mother put on that record of chain-jangling ghosts,... Sign in to see full entry.

Post Valentine's Day Poem

Written for my husband on Valentine's Day... Just Because Just because I'm tired in the evening Too tired to even cuddle... Just because romantic words stick Are absent, slurred, or in a muddle... Just because "our" clock grows dim And seems to melt into grayish puddle... Doesn't mean that I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Kick in the Ol' Yeller Backside...

Ha! After about 6 weeks, I finally bought a new black ink cartridge for my computer, so I could print out a few stories and submit them to a magazine! I've been planning to send those suckers in fer months, ya know? But apparently some sneaky little yeller stripey had begun to silently slither up my... Sign in to see full entry.
