 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| Kamo`oalewa: a piece of something (the Moon?) where we gather every April. *Judithd: "I want to know more about this place. It would have saved me personal grief if it had been available in 2003... just saying... and a couple times before and since. I'm good at the moment. Too bad I can't just call Mage or Bea. Too bad I'm not related. You describe a refuge I wish were real.  " re "Hideaway"  *Alydria/Jenn: "Very nicely done. When the prompt said remote ... you went remote and a bit further. *Bigsmile*" re "Invalid Entry" ?LeJen: {c:}"Oklahoma. There's a well-known Turner Falls in the Arbuckle mountains near Davis in Chicasaw Nation. Braggs reminded me of Briggs, just east of Tahlequah, a place along the Illinois with a swimming hole. Braggs was between Tahlequah and Muscogee, Mvskoke/Cherokee Nations. Both places are small. Would people go back to a place over generations? Yep. One goes with ones grandparents who went with their grandparents. Well written and believable (even truth is fictionalized over the generations). My family kept secrets that were not always acknowledged nor explained." re "The Waterfall and the Castle" Petra: {c:}"It may work better as a fantasy prompt for you. That said, if I were to visit your city we would probably meet in one of your favorite places. It just works that way. Habits and routines are strong, even over generations. Learning more from your uncles might be interesting." re "Holy place" Sox: {c:}"Ah... back story! Yeah, these characters must choose paths that cross... if only because they already have.  I'm going to assume that there's more to this than Seyona has told you so far.  She will in time." re "November 14, 2021" Sue: {c:}"We know about the past because someone cared enough to share. This goes for the everyday lives of common people as well. At the Egyptian Museum in Torino they have collected the graffiti of those who built the pyramids, some quite bawdy. So much didn't get recorded in the official history! People do revisit the places of their ancesters, if only to uderstand." re "Mystery" ?Sonali: {c:}"Totally warped! I mean, who knows what they knew in 1556 and have since forgot. Of course, you could always go back and ask. There outta be a spell for that. But beware the side effects of time travel." re "At the King's Court, 11 February 1556. - #30DBC" ?Robert: {c:}"I love that last line.  There's still time for Ted and his father... they ain't dead yet! I 'inherited' my father's hemorrhoids and smile. I suspect the smile was cultural and familial. Nice mixed non-fiction, personal and fiction response. " re "Past Tense" Viv: {c:}"Ah... the way was blocked. In a story I think your character might not give up, eventually finding out why the way was blocked but deciding it was more peaceful to leave the past buried under that ash... unless the way back was blocked as well.  " re "A PLACE CALLING THE PAST" Mike: {c:}"I knew about this history. That said, I never read about the people who actually lived there. History tends to leave common people out of the narrative, at best referring to them by numbers, not by name. And it was sparsely populated. I have visited areas where my forefathers lived and then fled." re "Nobody's fault [30 DBC entry]" QP: {c:}"I guess the problem is the word 'remote'. Works in a fictional prompt but not so much in real life. However, you live in a place that was remote for your forefathers. And going back to where they came from would seem remote as well. If aliens visited Earth long ago... perhaps you are a descendant." re "Remote Places" Cappucine: {c:}"Nice flow with wonderful repetitions of words and sounds. I think it's a keeper. Message? Not one #$%& useless royal among them.  " re "ancestor fancy" (poem)Sandy: {c:}"Thieves do hide in plain sight. They're known as CEOs and CFOs. There are places of pilgrimage, usually of great pain, great joy, great hope. And then there's curiosity and $$. A good story will buy a few drinks, both then and now. " re "Joe / Nathaniel" 5225 |
