Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter Two Eni no longer stood by Stavo and Brother Dom. She marched up to North and pinned him with her stare. Joy Hardiway, looking distraught, came up as well. Eni made North begin again, though it made him swear. He spoke more slowly under her prodding glare and his tone was not so fraught […]
Beneath the Grass
What would it feel like, any fun, to live to be one hundred My imagination tells me it would be less fun more dread With luck, still shuffling around, able to pee upon my shoes Not rolled about like deadwood by someone I don’t choose Perhaps I will be non compos mentis and it will […]

Serial Tuesday
Hello, All, I’ve recently finished reading Austin Kleon’s book, Show Your Work. He advocates sharing as much as you can, as often as you are able and believes there is great value in sharing work in progress. I agree with him, but have always felt timid about sharing work that isn’t complete. To that end, […]
