Crave Control?

Once upon a time I could resist anything but temptation and there were plenty of temptations around so I learned to avoid near occasions of temptation. Today, temptation is avoiding me so there's that. Craving however is another matter altogether. Temptation is external, craving is internal and more intense, influenced by psychology, biology and environement. I'm eleven hours into the New Year and I haven't succumbed to any of my cravings yet...

Paddling with Percey and Penny

Paddling With Percey and Penny Percey and Penny were two platypusses who gathered often in the same group of platypi known as a paddle. The particular paddle in which they met was a proud and exclusive group known as the Platters. Every morning as the sun peeked over the eucalyptus trees and the river glistened, the Platters would meet and converse about the joy of being platican. Sometimes the paddle would split off into male and female groups...

Padding Faye Miller or Someone Like Her

I've made a few changes to my process including font, font size and method of paragraphing. I like it so far.

Fullfilled

My baby is getting ready to push irts way into the world with a few more contractions. I'll let y'all know when Fullfilled arrives. Til then it...

Outstanding in the Bedroom

My favorite room? My favorite room is wherever I sleep the most. In our home, I primarily sleep in two rooms: our bedroom and my man cave. The man cave is the safer of the two. I nap in the man cave. I sleep in our bedroom.Both locations are fortified with giant teevee screens. This brings up the age old question, which is preferable sleeping or napping. Well, napping is a luxury while sleeping is a necessity. Although if pod people or Freddie...

can't kill the engineer

There's been a delay in the publishing process. I thought the book was finished. I thought I'd stop osting on abc tales for awhile and concentrated on promoting and marketin Fullfilled. The problem is, I can't stop writing. It's a habit. The Inspiration Point section of ABC has in fact inspired further engineering which now must be taken into consideration in regards to the editing, sturcturing and sequencing of the finished product...
