HAPPY 20th WDC! Congratulations The StoryMaster & The StoryMistress for creating and maintaining this creative utopia. We humble wordsmiths thank you. |
Hello, friend-os! I'm back. It's been a while, but I've finally added a new entry to my book, "OFF-CUTS!" : "Another Ghost Story" |
You've still got it! |
Hi, folks. I finally wrote something new. Check it out if you have a minute.

Hello, WDC people! What a week; first with work, then I attended a business expo, which I have to tell you, is one of the most soul-crushing experiences I've ever endured. A wondrous networking excursion, my keister! Hundreds of bored professional folk wandering around, pretending they're more important than they are. Next to them were the social-media marketers, and while I appreciated their hustle, their parasitic near-automated sounding felt extremely robotic. Hello, sir. We can help get you on the internet. We have professional videographers who can make you... If you're paid to communicate, shouldn't the ability to think and speak at the same time be a prerequisite? What otherworldly horror hides behind the eyes of the soulless accountants sitting in the corner, blankly staring out at the sea of people, waiting to harvest their wallets if they got close enough. I'm so glad I'm finally free from the clutches of these dang pod people, and hey, I got an entry into the Short Shots competition, so that's something.
Yeah, it's a kind of romance story; a stark departure from my usual stories, but I think it turned out okay. I know I don't usually rant like this but gosh dang I needed to vent. Thanks for reading. |
Ugh! I’ve attended those things and you’ve really nailed exactly what they’re like. I especially agree with your take in the newest monster to make the scene, social media marketers. And, yes, they should have a better handle on communicating. What’s even note stunning is that they usually go home with pockets full of new vict—, I mean, clients. At lease accountants offer a real service! 😂🤓 |
