Walking Through The Valley (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1183984-Walking-Through-The-Valley I've been watching, over the past two or so years, a growing reality which is spreading across this country--especially in our largest metropolitan areas. Because I live at the present time in Southern Illinois, because we here in the "Land of Lincoln", where so much has happened in the past few years that many would say could potentially end...[Read Full Post] Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:47:40 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676808 I am in Columbia, Tennessee for a few days. I can't believe it, but it has been colder, wetter, and more humid here since I got here on Sunday than it has been since late Winter in Southern Illinois. To me, that is just strange. When Sara came up to get me, the trees in her back yard were "on fire" with deep, rich golden and orange leaves...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:02:06 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676647 Okay, first you have to understand the premise. There's this Raffle, see, over at [Link To Item #1614099] . I can't really divulge all the details, but if you read carefully, you might be able to draw some successful inferences that are, umm, *gulp* really important. So, do a fellow blogger a favor, okay? Head over and spend a few GPs. Wh...[Read Full Post] Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:26:32 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676264 Or, "How To Kick Your Own Butt"! I don't know if this year's NaNo is so much more difficult because of all the things suddenly invading my time, or if the effects of the disease are dragging me down, or just having uninvited space aliens in my spinach are affecting me...oh, I didn't tell you? Whatever it is , the writing of wor...[Read Full Post] Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:49:47 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676160 This does! [Link To Item #1617561] And This does!

Why does it matter? Well, during several months back in 2002, he and a juvenile by the name of Lee Boyd Malvo killed ten people in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, wounding 13 others. The pair were also implicated, or "were suspected of fatal shootings in Alabama, Ar...[Read Full Post] Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:18:17 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675666 I have recently been the victim winner of an auction which got me a package of reviews and other goodies for my port. I got an Award Icon for a letter, and a Merit Badge in Style (Imagine! I KNOW!) for my work. It has been a wonderful "return" to the active writing life in this community. It has reinvigorated me, and my muse. I am so very grate...[Read Full Post] Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:08:31 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675331 Regardless of any intent otherwise, there are days that I simply must be a patient. Yesterday was one of those innocuous days. Nothing much turned into fatigue I am still feeling. I went to the Clinic, and spent five minutes having blood drawn. Then, a nearly hour-long trip to see the Sleep Doctor and her people. It was an hour, most of it on a bed. ...[Read Full Post] Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:54:15 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674946 [Image #1522690] You just GOTTA know there's a story here. You'd be right, there is! Okay, so I find this auction. I like the sponsors and the beneficiaries. I got a few GP. I bid on an item that my friend [Link To User daizy] had bid on. It's two days before the auction closes. I got some GP to throw around. I decide to bid on a couple ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:33:35 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674768 I was perusing today. Yes, I know, I'll wait. Let it bless yer hearts! Out in public, n everything! I have no shame! It seems that, somehow, [Link To User earlyhours] has his computer infestd with an information-seeking, slightly neurotic (but completely friendly) circuit board named VA, or Vigilante Angel. I KNOW!! It seems he's been lo...[Read Full Post] Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:16:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674760
