Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 3:30 PM. A 693-word story using the elements: earth, air, water, fire (spirit). It's time, Marikita. Your turn. For some reason, the voice gentled Mari’s fright to wary curiosity. Were her questions not going to be ignored this time? Was she really going to feel what it was like to be human? As they hit the ground and floated back up to her. They said. Catch me if you can. The sun. The star around which the earth revolves,. His hands lowered to the sides of her waist before he pi...

Saturday, April 25, 2009, 8:52 PM. I am a child of tomorrow. But here I am in this. Moment. There is no where else to be. Even if ever since kindergarten, I've always imagined life two years or more ahead. The last person I want to write about is myself. Like le gag. The thing is, though, I've been telling myself just wait til you're 16, or 18, or 21, or 30. Too Something or someone outside of my shy, rather boring self was going to explode and make a difference. I. Searching, searching, searching for an...

Who I used to be. Sunday, December 18, 2005, 11:20 AM. Where is my Christmas spirit? I know it's born from within, like all the best feelings are. The good things. I can feel my Christmas spirit, but it's down at my knees, hesitant to come closer because I'm afraid to celebrate this awful, gaping wound of a year. I'm afraid of feelings that aren't true at all. Had I been good enough for a new boom box, a pair of roller skates, and the latest Judy Blume book? Could it be that he was here. Thanks, Mom.).

Sunday, March 06, 2011, 11:44 AM. We have a dishwasher at work. Actually, we have a full kitchen; oven, microwave, a refrigerator with photos stuck on it, cabinets full of mismatched dishes and unopened mustard and mayonnaise. All we really need is an oven mit. Before anything went into the dishwasher, though, it was rinsed clean. Lots of people think think this is supposed to be the dishwasher's job, but no. The dishwasher's purpose is to disinfect. 3 Did the Unhingey Jiggy. You found me HOW? 06/25/08: ...

Thursday, October 12, 2006, 7:00 PM. I’m in a public restroom stall, trying to get the safety pin holding my pants together off because the zipper finally broke and I’m not ready to retire the pants yet. Or buy a new zipper. My gut is pushing out a wee bit too far, which makes the unpinning of the pin somewhat of an adventure. All of a sudden I’m slammed with a smell, an oh-gag-me, oh-kill-me-now. Stench of diarrhea times. Haven’t gotten my damn safety pin undone. Been drinking lots of water lately.

Friday, December 09, 2005, 8:10 PM. Why did the Hoosier girl cross the busy Los Angelian road? Because she had to pee. (No, wait. Because Keanu Reeves was on the other side of it, waiting for her in a soft gray stretch limo.). Only the door was locked. So she made the call on a full bladder, with one finger in her ear to try and block out raging traffic sounds. Just as she's doing this, the bus-. She laughs, but she still has to pee so it's not really that funny. So sad, your dad,. Fifteen minutes after ...

Zombie dance: not just for Thriller anymore. Monday, June 28, 2010, 9:00 PM. I learned the Zombie March. Last fall to honor Michael Jackson's passing, and when I saw this YouTube video of (what I think. Is the Glee cast) dancing to one of my favorite songs, I started doing the shoulder-neck jerk thing. What's not to like? Plus, I think MJ would've gotten a kick out of this.) Check out the awesome:. Meanwhile, I am exhausted as per usual lately. I have one of two theories:. You stayed up too late.

Hot New Book Releases. March 3, 2013. It sounds rather simple, naming a character. But it’s not always easy coming up with the perfect name for the imperfect character. So what’s a writer to do? How does a writer decide what name to attach to a character, and why? What’s the difference in naming a baby and a character? Let’s say your main male character is a rock climbing man, rough and tough, makes Rambo look like a Barbie Doll. Would you name this character Harold or Walter? Make a Difference – S...

Hot New Book Releases. Making Your Characters Realistic. March 3, 2013. Making Your Characters Realistic. You’ve read them before, many times. Blah or boring, perfect and flawless, too good to be true, obviously fake characters. So what can you do to take a different path? To make your characters come to life, seem real, appeal to the reader’s emotions? The answer is rather simple, though it often escapes the best of writers. How many perfect people do you know? The obvious being stated, this tells me on...

The Many Names of Saoirse Ronan | Naming the Fishes

A Blog For Name Lovers Everywhere. The Many Names of Saoirse Ronan. I thought I might finally profile the names worn by an actor who basically the same age as I for once. Funny that. Saoirse Ronan is also a brilliant actress and I honestly love all the names of the characters she has played. Especially Daisy which is the name of two of her characters. Derived from an old Celtic name it means “great queen.” In Welsh mythology Rhiannon was the goddess of fertility and the moon. A variant of Hebrew Talya me...
