My little abode is a little less brighter today. You see, yesterday I packed away all of the Christmas decorations. Down came the tree with its multitudes of decorations, all glittery and wonderfully themeless. Down came the stockings and garland. Down came the wreaths and all the tchotchkes. Most importantly, down came all of the […]
Category: Reading and Writing
Stuff I’ve written about writing and reading in particular.
The Spirit of a Marine
I don’t remember where I first came up with this idea. As you know if you read my “About Me,” my father is a USMC veteran. So somehow, somewhere this story hatched. As I stated in the disclaimer above, I originally posted this on a blog called Short Stories, but want all of my works […]
Zatanar – The Island
This is another story that came to me in a dream (always good to write down dreams!) It was intended to be a book, but I couldn’t figure out where to go after the second or third chapter. I’ll have to find the other chapters if I still have them….. As I stated in the […]
I should be writing
I often chide myself because I haven’t been writing much. I should be writing, I think as I twist yarn around the pegs of my knitting loom, working on a hat for a friend for Christmas. I should be writing, I think as I do the chores that have been neglected for days around my […]
Surrounded by Love
This was just a simple story I wrote about part of a family that lived inside my head when I was a child and teenager, who once lived in a fictional city called Mesa, California. As stated in the disclaimer above, I originally posted this on a blog called Short Stories…. but I want all […]
A Child’s Belief
This is a short story that came to me in a dream (always good to write down dreams!) As I stated in the disclaimer above, I originally posted this on a blog called Short Stories…. but want all of my works in one place now, so I am moving all of my stories here. His […]
Halloween Town: The Haunted Abbey and The Holler
This is a story about my Halloween Town. I used to put a description of the origins of my villages on every post about my villages, but since I have a whole created page about the Village Stories I have written, check it out there if you have no idea what my Halloween Town is. […]
Just when you feel like throwing in the towel
Normally I’d be writing what I call my “sermon reflection” today. But since I skipped church last week due to needing a mental and physical break and never watched the video about it (sorry Pastor Travis!), I don’t have some witty wonderful writing for you about doing unto other and working kindness or love or […]
The Story of Drachon and Alesar
Little background – this was probably one of my first stories that I let others widely read. My brother once called it a Lord of the Rings knock off. I will have to admit J. R. R. Tolkien is one of my inspirations, so perhaps I did borrow heavily from his ideas, but this was […]
Coming Home
This was my foray into writing a cute little predictable romance story (a la Hallmark Channel, which I don’t watch much) and this story is kind of long…. but it was a fun write. As I stated in the disclaimer above, I originally posted this on a blog called Short Stories…. but want all of […]
