Tall Tale Tuesday: Carnival Edition

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

usy, Busy, Busy. Oh, and Some Tears — Mr. James
     Eva ran back to the trailer she shared with Becky and slammed the door shut. She threw the deadbolt, too, and gasped in the hot, dark space inside. Sunbeams filtered through the gingham curtains Becky had hung, dust motes adrift in the light looking beautiful and [...]

It’s Not Tuesday, But . . .

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Can’t Brain Today, Got The Dumb.

Friday, May 16th, 2008

     ednesday, I got up at the gawdawful early hour of 6:30 am to join VC and Missa in delivering the Squatch to MrJames for a week-long visit. We drove him down to Detroit to the airport and dropped him off to his plane. We skipped taking I-75 due to the odious levels of construction and [...]

This One Goes Out to the Squatch & MrJames.

Friday, April 4th, 2008

     ere’s a snippet of what I’ve been working on lately, showcasing the first appearance of two re-occurring characters I’ve borrowed from my gaming group. These characters are Robaire and Jean Luc Dulac, owned by the Squatch and MrJames, respectively.

All My Stars Are Falling Down

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

     n the video to the right is my poem, “All My Stars Are Falling Down”, which I wrote back in, oh, 1999 or so. It’s about dwelling in pain, finding hope, and most importantly to me, going to find your own hope instead of waiting around for someone else to give it to you. It’s [...]

Tall Tale Tuesday: The Carnival

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

     e’ve completed a short story over at the Carnival, called “Tales of Delgato”. The story idea came from the Coffee House’s guest poster, Squatch, and both Mr. James and I helped him out with it. I’m going to repost it here in one chunk (it’s long; you’ve been warned), so, for the thousands in attendance, [...]

Tale Tale Tuesday: Carnival & Samantha

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

     ‘ve been doing some re-reading over at the Carnival, and I think I need to do a quick revision on the last post or two for Alice before I can forge ahead. Apparently, Squatch is batting the Delgato story back over onto my side of the court for a finish, as well, as he’s not [...]

Friday, January 18th, 2008
