HYPERTEXT and WRITING: A Constant Learning Process
Haven’t gotten much reading time in, but I have been writing, both straight text and hypertext. I’ve finally overcome my fear of Tinderbox–not that it’s at all a difficult program to learn, but rather that my assurance of comfort within … Continue reading
WRITING: Writing the Real
With the birth of the weblogs came a whole new generation of writers who may have that novel within them or may never entertain the idea, but we are the better for their gifts of sharing and Roberta at Elusive … Continue reading
REALITY? & WRITING: Warped Logic
As a writer of fiction, it’s hard sometimes to know when the line of credibility is crossed and how to manage to just stay on that edge. I shouldn’t worry; reality is beyond it. Here’s the scenario: Corporate management holds … Continue reading
REALITY & WRITING: Plagiarism
I really shouldn’t have such high expectations of people, then I wouldn’t be so disappointed lately. Dylan “poem” on sale was actually Hank Snow song From Reuters, via J-Walk.
POETRY & WRITING: Finally!
Just received some really positive input from a respected source on a few pieces of poetry and that has encouraged me to maybe even submit along with the short stories as the reading season comes to a close. I’ve never … Continue reading
WRITING: Letting Life Go By
Tried one last time to stir people up to stir me up to decision on those stories and just didn’t get fired up enough to try reading them again. Sometimes you just get sick of your own stuff and after … Continue reading
WRITING: Another Season Goes By
One by one the reading periods close and I let them without submitting. Yes, there’s all year to write and edit and get them in well within the time period, but I am a procrastinator and don’t always have something … Continue reading
WRITING: Perspective
Had an interesting vision this morning, another of my backyard revelations that teach me to question and explore. Look at the trees, now filling out with their finery of all shades and shapes of green leafery, as starting from a … Continue reading
WRITING & REALITY?: Lost Time
Drifting in and out of dopiness and pain–I don’t know which is worse. I’ve not been writing but finally buckled under and begged my best friend Nancy to read the last two short stories I’ve been working on since I … Continue reading
WRITING: Fiction and Fancy
Well I got Stanley and Julep out of their frozen place and managed to briefly tie up and tie in the story and bring it in under 1200 words. This one’s a bit longer than the previous, but I’m finding … Continue reading

WRITING: Voice
Not the opening line, but leading somewhere… Every Saturday night Stanley would pull up her nightgown and press up against her back and wait, as if it would just mosey on in by itself.” Looks like it’s shaping up into … Continue reading

WRITING: When it’s working…
…you sort of can tell. When you find yourself chuckling over something even as you write it, you know the story is at the very least, going to be interesting. At best, you know that you’re doing something right: letting … Continue reading
WRITING: Writing Cool
This last story is really cool. I like it, even after a zillion readings and edits. This one I’ll be proud to send out. Question now is do I go back and try to fit that voice over the previous … Continue reading

WRITING: Finding the Edge
Well without the self-confidence I only sent out that recent story on the Shoebox to two lit journals and figured I’d wait again till September (amazing how fast deadlines go by) and read some work by Anthony Varallo published by … Continue reading

WRITING: That last-minute voice of reason
Here I am, letting myself get to the deadline of submission dates for stories and immediately after sending out to two lit journals, I read the story again and absolutely hate it. It’s too long; it’s too short. It’s got … Continue reading
