I thought I'd never finish the story, I'm sure some of you did, too. But finally, a new part has been added to "My Brother's Keeper". It's so near done, I just need to finish it. Just a few more chapters should tie it up. Thanks to all who have waited so patiently!

Anyone doing this this year? I'd thought about it last year, but I've decided that the only way I'm ever going to find time to write is to take time to write! So, I'm taking the plunge and giving myself some good old fashioned deadlines so I can get some stories finished and finally working on the ones waiting ever-so-impatiently in the wings of my brain.

For anyone who doesn't know what this is. Nanowrimo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Check out http://www.nanowrimo.org for more information.

Well, it isn’t much. I was hoping to finish this thing by now but real life has a way of rearranging our priorities. There is a just a little bit additional to My Brothers Keeper up. Just click on the Original Fiction link to the right and then select “My Brother’s Keeper”.

I've been following this very interesting story - curious as to how it will all turn out.

My Brother's Keeper Update!

2006-01-15T18:49:00.000-08:00

Finally, at long last and a week late – here’s the update for My Brother’s Keeper. Life got a little busy there. We’re very close to the end of this one, and I’m going to apologize right up front – this chapter ends with a cliff hanger. No promises – but I’ll try to have the next chapter up before the week is out. Do let me know what you think!

New Story

2006-01-08T20:30:00.000-08:00

I’ve added a new story to the fiction section. It’s titled By Arrangement. I’m not abandoning My Brother’s Keeper nor Unfinished Business, this is just a little something that I already had written and in progress and wanted to add to the page. Click on the Original Fiction link to the right, and then follow the link to By Arrangement.

A new section for My Brother’s Keeper is currently under way, to be followed by an additional chapter of Unfinished Business but won’t be ready to post before the weekend is over. So, check back tomorrow for more of My Brother’s Keeper. Check back next weekend for more Unfinished Business. In the meantime, I hope By Arrangement piques your interest.

Whats Scary

What’s Scary?

This is probably a strange question – but it’s based on a dream I had recently. I was standing in a parking lot that had a very clear veiw of the Interstate. Cars, trucks and an inordinate number of charter buses were whizzing by at too fast a speed (as usual). I found myself cringing every time a vehicle waited too long to apply brakes and slow down. Each time, the drivers barely escaped rear-ending the vehicle in front of them.

I found the entire situation stressful, made worse by the lack of care or interest by those who were with me.

Then, suddenly, one charter bus slammed into the back of an 18 wheeler and exploded, followed immediately by another bus slamming into the back of that one and so on and so on until the wreckage and fireball began to grow outward, approaching our little parking lot. We began to run away to escape the blast.

It was all quite terrifying, made even more so by my feeling of utter helplessness. This dream so disturbed me that I could not go back to sleep. Though we ran from the area immediate to the destruction, there wasn’t an overwhelming sense that I could die. I suppose my confusion is as to why this dream was so very scary? Is it the loss of life? My helplessness? The lack of concern? The recklessness in the way people were moving along on the highway? Does this mean deep down I’m a control freak?

New Look, Same Content

2006-01-06T20:42:00.000-08:00

In the ongoing quest to make updates quicker and easier, I've added a blogger. No more updating a gazillion different pages just to say I've added a chapter to a story. The whole purpose of this deal is to share stories . . . the method of sharing isn't supposed to take over.

The links that have been here all along are still available . . . you'll notice that live journal is no longer linked. The jury is still out as to whether or not I'll keep it. But for now it'll remain up, but not linked. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the new layout. Drop me a line . . . let me know what you think.
