Part Two of my new story: The Bus Ride
“Mom! I’m ready to go!” I shouted. (She was in the other room.) “Wait right there Shelly! I have to take first day of school pictures of you, Lydia, and Tony!” She replied from her room. Tony is my little brother. He’s starting first grade this year. And he’s super smug about it too. It’s…

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

Lost in the Stars: Chapter 2
That next morning, I was in my room pretending to be asleep when my mom came in my room and tried to wake me up. I pretty much ignored her. (Sorry mom!) I was tired and I hadn’t slept well last night. My mom went back downstairs for a while and then started calling my…

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…
