Summary:

I am looking for three key areas of feedback. 1. Is the story funny? 2. Is the language too graphic? 3. How do I market this type of book?

Summary:

This is one of my favourite poems (not that I'm much of a poet), I wonder if you will like it also. I chose a French title (which means 'Their Hands') because I think it makes it more whimsical)

This is another in a series of "coming of age" memoir pieces that I'm working on. Comments welcome.

Summary:

This is an old piece and I post it only to let many know that Flo is okay! Things have been rather dark and sad lately BUT... my humor is alive and well. I worked on this piece as was embarrassed by the horrendous amount of errors. Are there still errors! Of course! This is me folks! Still a student. No need to leave reviews as many have already read it. I am reposting it for those who need to laugh or at least I hope they laugh or nod in recognition.

Summary:

This is something that came together in my mind, but is clearly not fleshed out. I need some help with the ending - it is too abrupt. And I need to move Ron's life further forward. But there are probably other things that need fixing. I am not happy with this, but I'm not sure where to start. HELP! All feedback welcome.

Summary:

Thirty plus years ago I worked a short time for a big university doing the purchasing of material for the chemistry department. It was an interesting job but the lunch "hours" were much more interesting. Comments welcome.

Summary:

I'd better explain a couple of things which may have you scratching your head. Muti = Af for medicine, poison, etc etc. Sun-downer = a drink (or 3) imbibed at about the time the sun’s going down, being 5:30 – 6:30 around these parts. I look forward to comments.

Summary:

My writing penchant is humour, so this one is unusual for me, but had to be written. Whether I should have posted it on tNBW is another matter. I find the saturation promotional advertising of up-coming tv programs to be extremely irritating. One in particular that was doing the rounds really p'd me off. As I lay in bed one night trying to sleep I got quite incensed. I could not sleep until I had grabbed my laptop computer and wrote down what was bounding around inside my skull. This is the result.

Summary:

Many have read this. Reposting more for all who haven't read it. New members who may feel their work isn't heard. It is! Just a reflection of what I see on this site day to day. Redone as want it perfected so all advice is welcome No need to leave review as truly not done for that ... it will grow in time as is written in dedication to all of you who write on this site.

I've already turned the orginal version of this into a chaiku to placate Sonny. Is there nothing I won't do for that man? In the last 21 days I've only had three days off work due to working two jobs and averaging about 14 hours a day. I've had a cold the last week which caused me to feel horrible and I've been fretting about not writing much. I went to bed angry with myself for not meeting a deadline yesterday and when I woke up, the first line of this poem screamed in my head. It's time to quit making excuses.

Work today caused me to finally RANT about something that's been bothering me for over a month.

Sonny suggested I give this lovely little art form a try. I resisted the urge for about five minutes and then decided to butcher it, as I've been known to butcher other art forms. If you're offended by cursing please don't read this.

This is just something I thought about this morning that I wanted to express and get other's opinions on.

Summary:

For over three years now, I’ve been racing to my keyboard whenever my boyfriend and I have one of our unusual conversations. I guess I should clarify that they are unusual by most couple’s standards. I’ve always told him that if I ever write a memoir about my dull and uneventful life, these conversations would get at least a chapter. Today turned out to be a blood-pressure raising day, both at home and at work. I won’t even go into why Time Warner Cable headquarters should be picketed, a certain dishwasher repairman should be punched in the face, and how somewhere out there a customer who needs lessons in civility and good manners, ignited my first panic attack. I will mention the conversation I had with my boyfriend after telling him about my day.

Summary:

This is a mostly true account, with only my usual embellishing of something that happened after work the other night. I dedicate it to my good friends Moses and Amy. Moses, you really are my hero.
