  • Coming up: 600 word story – Waterlilies

    I would have to roll a 6 on the waterlilies theme, wouldn't I?  I'm rather curious myself to see what I come up with. …up with which I come(?) – Sometimes, it's okay to end a sentence with a preposition, it seems.

  • 100 Themes Boot Camp – Day 3 – Dawn

    Dawn A whisper, a prayer;The longing and the promise ofNew life.I watch you carefully,Knowing that I can only seeIn part.Slow revelation;You hide so that you mayBe found.First a sliver, a hintUnfolding your glory,You rise.Terrible beauty,You stand high above, untouchedAlone.Giving all,You ask for nothing in Return.Salvation;Darkness flees before yourPure light.Awakening.Oh, that you would last more than…

    At least my D6 is.  I rolled another '3' today.  That means another 300 (or so) word story for the 100 Themes Boot Camp on DeviantArt.  Today's theme – power.  This should be fun!  I'll get back to you when I've got something.

  • 100 Themes Boot Camp – Day 1 – Stardust

  • Hi!

    So, according to XKCD, I am the least interesting man in the world. I will not, therefore, apologize for not posting much over the last few months.  I'm the one that pays for this site, dammit, not you.  Where do you get off, anyway, buddy?! Sorry.  Sorry.  I didn't mean to get abusive, it happens…
