Roman a clef Based Writing

I like working in the "Roman a clef" mode, best described by Wikipedia as French for novel with a key, which is a novel about real life, overlaid with a facade of fiction. The works of fiction I have been posting over on my fiction blog HERE use this mode. Every story in my trilogy of stories is... Sign in to see full entry.

We Return After a Brief Timeout

Since I was about nine or so, I have had issues with atrial fibrillation. I've taken digoxin for years and most days, it works fine. Back in 2001, I had to have my aortic valve replaced after a recent root canal went bad. The bacteria endemic to your teeth will harm no other organ in your body... Sign in to see full entry.

A Day Off

I spent about six hours in the ER today due an irregular heart beat. I was told to go home and rest. I'll resume tomorrow. Thanks! V Sign in to see full entry.

Just a post script to yesterdays post. The man I wrote about has been hospitalized and is undergoing treatment for severe depression. Thanks to those who voiced concern about him. Todays rant follows. This is an unusually good article, especially for Mlive.com, a site that USED to be a very good... Sign in to see full entry.

To Be or Not To Be...

I was supposed to be elsewhere by now but I got an early morning call (4AM!) from a friend who 'just needed to talk' and about 30 minutes into it, they said they were considering suicide. They asked if I thought God would punish them forever if they did. I don't believe that would happen. Some might... Sign in to see full entry.

Our writing club has a contest of sorts entitled "The 100 Word Challenge." The intent is obvious. Sometimes they pick a topic for you a week in advance and the next week, you read your offering. I was looking for another file and I happened upon the one I wrote for the December meeting just before... Sign in to see full entry.

Move It Along Please!

I was in a couple stores earlier today and it came to me that there are too many idiots in this world who do nothing but sit around and dream up new ways to get offended. I had a couple women completely blocking the aisle as they held some kind of spontaneous family reunion. As it happened, they... Sign in to see full entry.

Tales of a Life Long Story Teller

If a few things straighten up and nothing else goes stupid, I've been asked to teach a two or three day writing seminar at a local college in mid February. It's a long time from now until then but just in case all of those things that have to go right, do go right, I am getting my project into... Sign in to see full entry.

A Shameless Plug

This is a short out take from my newest book on Amazon on spotting and living with depression. It is hitting the shelves just now. You can find it here: http://tinyurl.com/nnlz9ua Since first we met, I was aware that my wife had issues that undercut her confidence. I loved her then and I love her... Sign in to see full entry.

Find Someone Else To Blame

PS: I mistakenly added this to my fiction blog. I am reposting it where it was meant to go. I apologize I don't know why but this struck me as funny tonight. I often find myself all full of opinion, and none of it valid. I went to my psychiatrist to be psychoanalyzed To find out why I killed the cat... Sign in to see full entry.
