Suddenly Roland found himself getting an outrageous notion.

“And if light wouldn’t move at all Shadow? And all motion just is that space getting longer and shorter?” As soon as he said it he realized how weird he sounded, but he still couldn’t get the idea out of his head. And if it was true then? That time slowed the faster you went. “What would that sand corn of light see?” he asked wonderingly. “Traveling faster than anything else. Would distances even exist for it? And without a distance, how could one prove a time?”

Too 'sweet' for Halloween? *grin*

Submitted by on

So I just finished the rough draft on a Halloween-themed story. Like Becoming Robin this is seated very much in the Sweet / Sentimental category. Unlike Robin this isn't a novel-going-on-serial :-P

It's an actual, real-live short story, from me, the Queen of babbling endlessly. Can you believe it? ^_^

Sarah Carerra - 2.09 - The Band Played On

Submitted by on

sc2.jpg I smiled. This was the first time that I had seen the band since I had collapsed on stage. While I deeply regretted not calling them to let them know I was okay, I was happy that they cared enough to worry.

Damn You Monte Python!

Submitted by on

Despite living in the city, I spent Saturday helping a neighbor cut down several dead trees. This was after two days of indulging myself in front of the computer comfortably dressed in a skirt and blouse. Each time I fired up the chain saw this tune ran through my head:

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK...

You know the rest!

Organizer pages: now or later

Submitted by on

Ok, so I started writing a story out of order. I know, not the usual way to go about things, but anyone who told you I was normal was lying ;)

I know it will be a story in 4 parts.

Rising Star
First Love
Betrayal and Loss
Phoenix Rising

I can get those to organize, no problems. That makes it so I can devote 3 weights per month and not run out of weights, and so my months organize.

Happy bounce

Submitted by on

I came back from my trip to forn paartz and tonight was the evening of my folk club. I played....and you have to understand the difference between the music and "the dots", which is the written notation.
A member of the club I really respect as a musician came up to me after my bit and complimented me on how I had made the piece my own.
It is difficult to get across to a non-player exactly how nice a compliment that is.

Happy bounce!

Looking for a Story

Submitted by on

For months I have been looking for a story, it starts with a man who has an ability to use his mind in a supernatural manner.

Later we see him helping out some older ladies when their car broke down. In turn he becomes friends with the family.

In turn he starts going out with the daughter who unbenknown to him is a witch. She in turn gives him an opportunity to experience what it is like to be a girl through a temporary body swap.

Her Diary - 1980

I honestly don't know where in my fevered mind Ms. Grace Kelley came from. Her idea on the name, not mine.

Last night I went to bed thinking that I would right a light hearted tale about a wish gone wrong. It is titled The Third Wish, and may eventually see the light of day, or fall back into obscurity.

I dreamed a dream about my life last night, which slowly became the life of Ms. Kelley. I woke up with a knowledge of this person that I have never had of one of my other characters. She is me in some respects.

Learning for writing

Submitted by on

Well, as the story continues I begin to delve deeper into Cultural Anthropology and the crazy coolness of it. It is actually a pretty interesting topic and one that is I had the money I would go back to school for, specifically the Ethnolinguistics, where Culture and Language make sweet, sweet love. :)

To Catch a Thief~1

Submitted by on

I looked around casually to check that no one was watching me.

It was a busy market day and I was trying not to be seen–or rather noticed. Easy enough for thirteen-year-old boy who looked more like ten or eleven...

What Happens Now?

Submitted by on

Not sure whether this is a Writers' Forum question or a Writers' Challenge. Certainly if anyone wants to use this as the basis for a story they're welcome to do so; it's really too involved for me to handle. But what I'm looking for is the most plausible wrap-up.

Here's the situation: in effect, it's Hannah Montana, circa 1980.

Spacetran 3

Submitted by on

In this chapter, Ruby the reporter and narrator of the remainder of the story appears. She meets Beverly at Beverly's instigation and learns much.

This story was originally written over thirty years ago when I was still trying to come to terms with my childhood abuse and my transgendered transvestism... I've altered a few bits very slightlt but it's essentially the same as when I first wrote it and I seem now to hold it as a sort of link to my past and a datum mark to show myself how far I've come.

For some unknown reason this weeks update despite being uploaded to the server isn't appearing. I have no power over this, i'm not getting any replies to my webmeister queries and my geek squad aren't talking either.

I quite enjoy doing the site but maybe it's outlived its usefulness so if i can't get it sorted by the weekend i'm taking a break from the updates until further notice.

12-String: Snippet/Preview: My Life with You is Hell.

Submitted by on

This is an idea I have been playing with a little. Mostly here, I want to give an example of my poetic skills. I have the songs running through my head, but my question is if they detract from the story (bad) add to it (good), or are sort of neutral to the story as a whole. Vote in the comments or with good story Kudos. Please only mark a Kudo if you like the song being in the story :). As regards TGL, no story today as I am working through life stuff.

The main character is Keith, who has a Glam Goth persona (Desdemona) that he uses on stage.

I'm rache, etc.

Submitted by on

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Rachael Ross or just plain rache. I've been writing for awhile and I don't really have a preference for subject matter, it's all good. I use a lot of pen names and for TG/TS stories I generally like to use "T.S.Severe" and she's one of my many alter-egos (the one who dresses better than the rest of me) ...Uhhh, let's see. I have a website hosted by ASSTR at:

Out of the Ashes, errors, and request for advice

Submitted by on

I've just discovered my recent Chapter 7 post is sans single quotes. Fixing requires reading the entire story as HTML... *whimper*

If anyone can suggest the preferred way to get text (containing italics) from RoughDraft (MS rich text) into "Create Content", I would appreciated it; as my way seems to require multiple editing passes.

update: Some partial search-and-replace fixes have been done, but I know there's more to do. I'll give it another pass tonight.

another update: I think I've got them all. Ouch. :)
