THANK YOU, MR. SILVERSTIEN.

Today's passage in THE DAILY WRITER didn't have a specific writing exercise, but it does ask me to go back and read a favourite book from my childhood and to describe the feelings I had about it and the lessons I learned from it. As a result, I chose THE GIVING tree by Shel Silverstien. I wrote a... Sign in to see full entry.

VYKTOR HAS RETURNED TO ME

A couple of days ago, I promised to tell you all about my latest "visit" from Vyktor. I just couldn't bring myself to write it out until today. Just be aware that this one is far more disturbing than most of them...even the walk he and Leni took through the cemetary. This time when I saw him, he was... Sign in to see full entry.

I hope you'll take something away from this work! Enjoy! DEAR HUMANITY Dear citizens of the world, I’m writing this... Sign in to see full entry.

FOR VINCENT

Some time ago, I bought a book titled THE DAILY WRITER. As part of my new year routine, I've decided to have a go at the writing exercises that interest me. And there are MANY! The piece I've just finished is based on an exercise that asks the writer to write a one page story describing their... Sign in to see full entry.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Happy 2012 my dear friends! I hope you all had a happy, healthy and safe start to your new year. New Year's Eve and Day were quiet for me...but then I need it that way. January tends to be a sad month for me, though I have some good things going on as well. This morning, I went for a twenty minute... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHRISTMAS STORY

ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS Christmas! Is it really that time of year again already? Too soon, according to everyone around her. Her opinion? Maybe, just maybe, people wouldn’t get so crotchety about the Christmas season if… Two things: One, people don’t focus on the true meaning of Christmas... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE GLASS

She strolls through the store, trying to decide which flavour coffee she wants this morning. Oddly, the smells entice her this morning. She can’t make up her mind, so she asks the guy behind the counter what he recommends. “We just got in a shipment of toasted almond,” he tells her. “It’s one of my... Sign in to see full entry.

NO HUMBUGS ALLOWED HERE!

There's one thing and one thing only that disturbs me about the Christmas season. HUMBUGS!!!! I have decided that this year, even though I may be forced to go to Mum's house for Christmas dinner, I am not going to take part in their bah-humbug attitude! Who needs Scrooge, anyway?? Certainly not me!... Sign in to see full entry.

SOME GOOD NEWS FROM LONDON

Thank goodness! I've just had an email from Juliet. I hadn't heard from her for a really long time, and was just about to email her again myself. I emailed her a month ago yesterday, but hadn't heard anything. She didn't say much, but at least I know that she and Tina are safe. I emailed her back... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE FROM THE GLASS HOUSE

How strange a place the world is now. She gets up in the morning, has her breakfast, showers, does what needs doing. But, there’s no joy in anything anymore. Her only happiness comes from her animal friend. So funny, the things the death of a love takes away from a person. For the longest time, she... Sign in to see full entry.

THE GESTAPO IS AT IT AGAIN

...Is the only way I can describe how I'm feeling today. I slept okay last night, but as soon as I woke up this morning, the burning started again. Ugh! I'm sure it doesn't help that it's so flipping cold outside! The good news is that it isn't snowing yet. I'm truly grateful for that fact. Believe... Sign in to see full entry.

GOD HELP ME

Dear God... As most of you who've read me for any great length of time now will know, I can sometimes sense things about other people. I also see things sometimes that would frighten most people were it to happen to them, but usually not me. Until now. He's in terrible pain. I know this, and not... Sign in to see full entry.
