In the Soup
Jill: What fresh produce? Seems to me the only thing fresh around here is you. Today’s theme is Fresh Previously in Jack and Jill: Whistle Stop Photohunt
Cab Driver
I don’t remember his name. He gave me a ride from the Romance Writers of America convention to the airport. He barely spoke English, having haled from Shri Lanka, but insisted on filling the silence with as many of my words as he could. To get them, he had to talk too, and so we argued the nature of love, devotion, and Romance. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. […]
13 Games I’m NOT Playing, much as I would like to
A month ago I still have the luxury of time to occasionally play video games. Now that Tax Season is underway, that time is gone.

Final Fantasy IX 8. Grandia 9. Azure Dreams 10. The Legend of Dragoon 11. Final Fantasy XII […]
Suzie’s House 254: To Jostle a Remnant of Memory
Gene thought about hiding so Mrs. H. wouldn’t catch him watching, but then his jaw got tight and his back bunched up. He told himself he wasn’t mad, but he didn’t hide at all. So right after kissing that guy, that lawyer guy, she turned around and there he was, standing in the window with his arms crossed, looking right at her.
The Serialists of March 28
To be honest, I’ve had some problems following some of the more recent episodes of Scorpius, but last week started pulling it all together for me. Have you been following along? What do you think?

Welcome Graffiti
It’s been cold and rainy for weeks. Highs in the 60’s. I’m tired of hearing the furnace run. Still, some people managed to get down the the graffiti wall and do their thing.
Accidental Art
Check it out. I pulled a pickled baby corn from the jar, and the rest all kind of slumped over and ended up like this. Cool, huh?
55 – When They are Young
She: Stop it! We’ll get caught. He: Oh, come on, Baby. We’re consenting adults. Why can’t we? She: Because the kids are home. They’ll ask questions. He: Who knew we’d have more trouble getting it on when we’re married than we did as teenagers? The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is hosted by the G-man, a host with the most.
A Random 13
1. I’m late with this post and have no good ideas for it and don’t feel like talking about my perpetually cluttered desk, so I’m going with the Off-the-top-of-my-head thing. 2. Why is it that my head is full of thought most of the time, but when I try to gab on to something specific it slips away like oily water? 3. Does that mean I’m dirty minded? 4. They say you reflect your environment. 5. Maybe, if I want […]
Suzie’s House 253 : The Mistaken Impulse
Jeff liked to think he was diligent in his attorney-client relations, house calls to Mrs. Hammacker not withstanding. He nurtured his business relations carefully, often at the expense of anything resembling a private life. His focus on family law tended to put him in awkward positions. So he was used to acting as an amateur psychologist. He liked to think he handled it well. This he wasn’t handling well at all.
The Serialists of March 21st
Did you notice that Susan started a new story arc? I’ll bet it has something to do with the book she has coming out April 12. (More Trevor? Can’t wait!)

The Winner of Deeper Than the Dead
It seemed a bit over kill to use random.org to pick the winner this time, so I flipped a coin. I assigned heads to Mama Zen because she commented first and tails to Heather and flipped three times because the first flip kind of didn’t actually turn in the air. The winner is Heather! Congrats on being lucky. 🙂
