2nd date... 5 1/2 hours with her hand in mine for so much of that time... Am I supposed to feel this way at this age?

In the evening, on one side of the house in the morning on the other. When I step outside, they gather before me. I am strangely empowered, but I try not to let it go to my head.

Every day... every single day! (The turkeys saunter by in about an hour)

The best first date of my life... (stay tuned... the static will clear)

I love a good Rondeau. It is my favorite poetic form. That said, at 994 words, my 83rd Tale "The Well of Salvation", yet released, is just that... a flash fiction piece in the shape of a Rondeau. In other words, it has 3 sections with appropriately placed refrains. I experiment #BookSky

Happy Black History Month! Celebrate each and every win. We have work to do. ❤️💚💛🖤🤎

Coyotes outside my window howling...

all I ask is that every now and then I'm wheeled to the edge of the Void with no restrains on what I might say... as if it needed stressing though, good night (at nigh 3am local)

in the end, it turns out, the damned machine has been broken all along but no one thought of turning the lights out. the switch might be covered in dust, but if you need help, there are hammers forgotten about viva the fucking void!

allow me to encapsulate my existential rage in a way that is more becoming of my breeding... wow, that really hit the spot! #writing

dear god! one needs to howl at the moon every now and then! (who's the idiot who decided I shouldn't be typing any damn thing right now?)

I hate AI!

We are over 30. Why the hell are you listening to us? You shouldn't trust us. We have deep and dark agendas.

"Turn About", at 4,886 words, is my 82nd Tale. I discovered with the last story I had a very rich and detailed group of folk suffering visitations in their dreams, each drawn to each other yet with discrepancies in their visions. These are the troubles so wrought. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

"Ill Advised Paths", the 81st entry into the Tales of the Bajazid @ 4,997 words is a traditional structure (in other words, just a story with none of the weird stuff I've been doing) tale which happily drew together many different elements from diverse eras of my town. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

The 80th entry in the Tales of the Bajazid is "Golden Hair" at 4,539 words. This Tale will appear at the end of my collection Outside the Circle of Midnight Black (as soon as the last 8 Tales are finished). It's a pretty little number, that it is! #BookSky #HorrorCommunity #WritingCommunity
