Big Rock Candy Mountain Detour by me, about me

I'm currently writing and posting my autobiography here on BC and on Patreon. The current episode, #4 - Doodlebug Wages, in on the BC front page right now.

These are from personal memories (yes, I do remember things that happened when I was two) and family stories and most of them show what an incredible spoiled brat I was. :)

I hope you read them, enjoy and leave a comment.

Hugs,
Erin

BCTS February's "Magic of The Heart" Story Contest is near!

This is an unofficial blog announcing the contest. I'm throwing this up tonight so everyone has a chance to think about it. The basic requirements are that it is a story of Love or Loss for Valentine's Day. I'm giving the option as I'm open to both types. The cash prizes will total between $400- $500. The payout will be on March 3.

Getting an Edge in Word-wise

When you get it all rounded up, it's time to square it away.

Anyday now, it will be someday every day.

If you miss the point, you may find yourself stuck.

Don't chicken out and duck your responsibilities, or you'll have no right to grouse about the consequences.

First thing to do with good luck is learn to make it last.

Every dog has his day, and every shaggy dog has his story.

If bears wore tights under their slacks, they wouldn't have to hibernate.

Lost quotes from a non-existent saga

Feeling better today, an unscheduled bunch of showers settled the dust, so not as many sneezles, even though the wind is still blowing.

Opened an old file for a story called Masquerade War, which I have never written but first conceived of in about 1969. I really haven't written it in part because Marvel did a similar idea in their Secret Wars event. Sigh, not the first time something like that has happened.

Anyway, here are some of the quotes from this file:

Christmas Contest - Please Read if you entered

I need everyone who won something in the Christmas Contest, monetary prize or DopplerPress book, to send me a PM with Christmas Contest as the subject and with content that clearly describes what you need, money or ebook, or contribution of prize money to the Hatbox.

I know several people have already PMd me or contacted me some other way with this info but it's been a hectic few days and I'm still fighting off this humongous tiredness I've had for months. My PM and email boxes are so cluttered, I can't find anything easily.

Cathy called

Cathy Michel called me from a rehab hospital to ask me to post a blog for her. She's getting better and is hoping to be able to go home soon but her energy is very low. She can visit the site on her laptop now, but posting is a bit more effort than she has stamina for.

Keep her close to your heart, please, she's part of what makes BigCloset such a wonderful friendly place.

Hugs,
Erin

Autobiography of Me

I'm currently reposting my autobiography from my earliest memories up to about the age five on Patreon, free for all readers.

Each episode is about one or two thousand words, so they are quick, and you can discover what a brat I was at that age. :)

So follow my adventures from Wenatchee, WA to Casa Grande, AZ; Brawley, CA; and Senath, MO and points in between. Just be sure to turn left at the

Cathy Michel

I got a call from Cathy Michel today. She's still in the hospital, doing better in some aspects. They have got her breathing problems sorted out but they are keeping her to do more tests on her heart function. She's with the VA in Western New York but may get transferred to a different hospital where they may be better able to do the tests her doctors want.

Hospital internet does not allow her access to BigCloset so she asked me to write this note to let people know what is happening. She'll try to keep me posted by telephone so I can report on what is happening with her.

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US and Happy Thursday to everyone else. :)

I'm leaving for a four-day vacation in about an hour, going to San Diego for Comic-Con Special Edition, first con I've gone to in more than four years. It's just a nearly straight ride down the freeway and I have a hotel only a few blocks from the Convention Center.

I'm fully vaccinated and boosted and everyone else has to be to get inside so it should be pretty safe.

Pete's Vagina -7- Punted - on Patreon for members

Pete knows what's wrong. Jake is injured, the team the Lions are playing Friday is tough, Joanna is a problem, but besides all that...well, Pete just does not want to have to think about it.

Pete's Vagina -7- is available on Patreon for Patrons a few days before it gets posted here.
