New Story!
Hi. My name is Michelle, but you can call me Shelly. Let me start by telling you how I got my nickname. When I was younger, me and my family used to live at my grandmother’s house after my grandpa passed. Grandma lived in a house practically in the water, close to the beach. She…

Writing a book?
I have started working on a book (again). I have gotten started a couple of times… but didn’t really get very far. This year, on January 1st, I started writing with the goal of writing 100 words every day. So far that has worked out well for me. The first few days, it was easy…

Chapter 9: How I found a pot of Gold
“Oh puh-leeeze don’t do another history lessonnnnnnnn!” I groaned. “But I have a new book on it, and it has even more amazing facts!!!” Gale complained hilariously.

Chapter 7: The Feastings and Festivities begin!

I Broke It!
I have a few things to mention today. First, I broke my server on Tuesday. I came home from work, and got a notice that my blog was down. It happens rather often lately (more in a minute). In an effort to reduce the frequency of the outages, I decided to change how my server…

Greece is Blue
This is not fiction, but a true(ly boring) story. Nothing in this is made up, but it is based on my memories of the time, so I don’t promise complete accuracy. ***** A long time ago, in a time far away, I was a young sailor on a ship in the Mediterranean. At the time…

My Beluga Family
I really love beluga whales. I first saw one when I was 5 years old at the Georgia Aquarium, and I fell completely in love with beluga whales. I visit the Georgia Aquarium often, as my grandparents live in Georgia. One time, the beluga whale exhibit was closed, and that was what I was looking…
