Bang, Bang. Now You’re Dead. (Chapter 1)

I started this story a few nights ago; I’m not yet sure if it’s going to be just a short story (with a few more installments after this) or if it’ll grow into something more.  As it currently stands, the story keeps twisting and turning in my mind – I think it’s going to endContinue reading “Bang, Bang. Now You’re Dead. (Chapter 1)”

Way Back When…

For the past couple of years, I’ve been collecting a lot of my old family photos and preserving them (by scanning and digitally organizing).  My plan is to eventually: 1. have a digital copy of all our old photos 2. make some giant, fun family albums – that are properly organized by occasion etc – with theContinue reading “Way Back When…”

Who Do You Trust?

So this story took me out of my comfort zone a bit; it kind of went down a path that had aspects of science fiction or, at least, a futuristic-y feel to it.  That’s not usually what I write about, but I still found that there was something about this piece that I really enjoyed.Continue reading “Who Do You Trust?”

It’s The Little Things

Do you know that feeling, the one when you’ve accomplished something you’ve been meaning to do for a really long time?  You feel so excited and so proud of yourself; and it doesn’t even matter how small the actual accomplishment is, you just feel like you’ve conquered the world.   That’s how I feel today!Continue reading “It’s The Little Things”

The Weekend is Over

The weather is changing so quickly here; over the past 24 hours, we’ve gone from 50° to 25°. To pass the time (and avoid the cold), I’ve spent today primarily indoors (and in cars) knitting and working on my thesis. I finished up a sweater I was working on (pics to come, after I’ve blocked itContinue reading “The Weekend is Over”

Keep Walking

This story was something that I really struggled with writing; the idea had been floating around in my mind for years – but I was adamant that I didn’t want to deal with the subject.  It’s a difficult and unpleasant thing to write about, but this character wouldn’t leave me alone.  For a long time,Continue reading “Keep Walking”

Kate Gives Me Agida, But…

…she is one heck of a teacher and friend! So this is Kate [click her name to visit her blog…do it, do it]!  She’s amazing! We tutor little middle school munchkins together, and the most incredible thing happened this past Thursday.  Kate tutors English (and I do Math – yeah, I know) and on Thursday herContinue reading “Kate Gives Me Agida, But…”
