Somewhere Else Entirely -75-

Submitted by on

Jaxen has returned from Tranidor... but his caravan is much larger than anyone expected. Accompanying it are both strangers and unexpected friends. In some of the wagons are mysterious crates and packages, demonstrating that the guildsmen have not been idle while Garia, Keren and party have been absent from the capital.

75 - Gifts From Afar

After 2 years and 5 months

Submitted by on

The VA has decided I have PTSD and that the military caused it. I am 70% Disabled. I have mixed feelings ... I am happy; I feel vindicated. I am slightly depressed; I did not want to be taumatized and live with the results of the abuses I have experienced.

I am thankful for the rating. My medical coverage is completely covered by the VA now. So there are silver linings in these emotional times.

Wow, I did not realize how much stress I was carrying.

Doing better and hitting Milestones

Submitted by on

First off, I want people to know that I am feeling better. Yesterday was me going through some things that sometimes crop up. That memory has always been a part of me, but I haven't reflected on it in a long time and all of a sudden it wanted to be dealt with. When you aren't prepared for something, it can throw you for a loop.

I am back on track. I am loving my life and looking forward to a future, one that might even require me changing my name (both first and last).

I also have hit some milestones that I would like to share.

If you've purchased a copy of my book, HEADLIGHTS GIRL, or if you've read it online, would you please go to my amazon page and leave a review? It doesn't have to be anything long, just a few words and a rating.

I have a decision to make

Submitted by on

Well, I went to my interview with Target, and it didnt go like I expected at all. I was interviewed twice by two different pairs of people, and then basically hired on the spot - I have a tentative employment with them starting the beginning of March. So now, I have a decision to make - go with them, or stay with Wal-mart?

Pray I make the right call here ....

video for the song "Titanium"

Submitted by on

After watching the video for the song "Titanium", I keep thinking of the Whately Academy universe here. I picture that video being a clip that could have come from there, the fear, the supernatural, and the MCO. Here is a link to the video if anyone hasn't seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfuAukYTKg

something incredible has happened

Submitted by on

well, one of the Provincial Supreme courts here did something almost unheard of - it more than doubled the sentence handed down for Graham James, the hockey coach who was found guilty of molesting NHL player Theo Fluery, among others. Instead of the 2 year sentence he was given by the judge, he will now serve 5 years, unless the Canadian Supreme court changes it. Its not as good as the sentence I would have given him - to hang suspended by a hook in his member for the remainder of his life, but I guess it will have to do ...

Truth in Tagging

Submitted by on

I'm posting this on my blog instead of the story comments because some of my readers would probably regard this post as a spoiler. I still won't be disclosing exactly what condition Taylor has. Any spoilers will be mild, but I know some readers don't want any author hints at all. If so this post is not for you. Also if you are reading my story and haven't read through Part 14 yet, then you'd probably consider this post a major spoiler.

Spoiler Alert! Readers of The Taylor Project beware

Tabloid Tales: Memphis Interlude

Submitted by on

Tabloid Tales: Memphis Interlude
By Ellie Dauber
Copyright 1999

This is the second of my two stories about Twentieth Century icons. Except for this one, all the “Tabloid Tales” stories were written by a very fine writer named Pyrite, whose work I heartily recommend. The stories are part of a VERY long line of tales set in a pub, bar, or other drinking establishment by authors ranging from Lord Dunsany to Spider Robinson. In the Tabloid Tales, the characters are all writers working at tabloid newspapers, the sort of paper sold in the checkout line in grocery stores. Since they write about the odd and fantastic, they’re willing to listen, at least, to any sort of story told by one of their own. In this story, it’s a fellow named Billy McNeil, who has a KING-sized tale to tell.

Favorite type of ending?

Submitted by on

As I was writing my latest, I originally intended that the protagonist would become the daughter of his lover, who he looked on with more motherly affection than physical love. My editors convinced me otherwise, and I think they were correct; I liked the ending more. But I still have the "stuck as a girl" ending as a preference - sometimes.

New Kid on the Block

Submitted by on

Just opened my account and thought I'd say Hi. I've been lurking around here off and on for a year or two, and I really appreciate you guys letting me just hang out. There are a lot of really good writers here (although many of you ought to put a little more effort into your editing ;-).

It's kind of strange, though. At first I was put off by the frequency of incorrect useage of to/two/too or there/their/they're and so on, but over time I've come to see it as a 'good' thing. It is the way real people are, and you are real people.
