Not too late to get hip to Gambar. Two more installments (maybe 3) remain. I'm sayin' maybe ten people have gone all the way. Join the group that can say " I read it first as it was created"

Gambar began with 240 readers. Wdith every installment, the number of readers has diminished. Now that we're on installment 12 I expect about 12 readers. Pretty sure one of them will be Celticman. Sorta reminds me Ol Faithful in Yellowstone Park. Ol Faithful is a geyser that erupts every hour or so. When you arrive at the sight of Ol Faithful,it can be crowded or nearly abandoned based on how soon the geyser is going to erupt. By the time the...

I have to admit, i love the Firefly story. The ending particularly. Apparently I like it more than my readers which may or may not be a good thing. I'm gonna leave it where it is which is kind of a sem-final draft. There's so much morre to write about before i finalize Firefly. I hope that this blog will lead to more readers. If you choose to read it, I'm pretty sure it will be worth your time. In the meantime, I'm heading to Gambar and then...

I write according to impulse so it appears as though continuity is a probllem for me. If you look at my collections you'll see lots of beginning and not as many middles or endings. Each of the collections are swervable and each entry is intended to be independent. I am, howecer, capable of continuity or at least what resembles it. It's all a matter of organization. Sooooo....... I have added five more collections. Within those collections will...

In the darkness of my recovery< I could still muster the energy to do some writing. Then I learned that ABC tales was shutting down. ABC had become my go to space for sharing what I had written. I got out of the sharing habit. I was writing only to find glimpses of light and energy and life. As I've recovered, I noticed that ABC has fecovered as well. The fear of relapse begins to subside and am bringing to bring to light tales written in...

I'm nearly recovered. when i started on ABC I was sick and getting sicker. I wrote for awhile but ended up so exhausted that writing became nearly impossible. I was in the darkness of deep fatigue for almost a year. I'm feeling much better now and that improvement in health is manifesting itself with the energy of my writing. Nothing makes me happier. I hope you folks will tune in because as Al Jolson said at the beginning of the sound age in...

One worse than the other. 1) In the old west an "actor" is performing his version of "to be or not to be". The cowboys in the saloon don't like it and they start booing and throwing fruits at the actor who stops his performance and before storming off to his dressing room yells back at the audience; "Hey, I didn't write this shit, I'm only reading it" 2) The writer did write some shit and posted it on abc tales; the result being no comments, no...

i'm using abc as my editor. i plan on seeking my publisher when i get 50 cherrypicks or post 250 pieces. come along for the ride

I read his auto-biography, The Greatest. Towards the ending of his book, Ali invited anyone who had read the book that far to come and visit him at his training camp where they would be welcome. He even gave simple directions. Go to Deer Lake. Go to the gas station in the middle of town. Turn left at the gas station. Come up the mountain road. Watch for the boulders along the side of the road. The boulders have names of past champions painted on...

The seventh day of radiation proved to be informative. Maybe too informative, if ya know what I mean. The night before, I was up all night because of continual urination. I overslept after I finally fell asleep. When I woke up, I was late. I had to jump in the car and white knuckle it through a rainstorm and construction and past an accident to get to the hospital on time. You don't want to be late to radiate because there is a very tight...
