"Cool," Louis said. "You know, Chapters, sometimes I think my mother likes you better than she does me."

"Really?" I said, and slid my heavy history book into my lap.

It was the sixth day of Chanukah, the first day of the New Moon and Christmas morning. Maggie woke up first and because it was her third day off from school and the Christmas recess. She was raring to go.

"Stop!" I told her. "It's not funny any more. I never said I wanted to be a girl! Or even pretend to be a girl!"

"Trust me, Marcie-Mark," Jane told me. "I'm your responsible adult. You're in my care. And I'm telling you, this will be good for you. You'll like it. You'll learn all kinds of useful things about girls, and you even can write a book about it when you're older.

Fun With Old Sitcoms!

Submitted by on

Anyone remember the television shows from the late '70s and early '80s? There is one that has always been one of my very favorites, and now that the

DVDs are coming out, I've become inspired. Well, inspired at least to silliness poking fun at the opening of the first episode...

So, the below is just a few moments of mischieviousness, read on if you wanna!

Short Chapters: 1. No One Will Ever Know

Submitted by on

Mom bit her tongue, and said calmly, "Victor, listen to me. If you put on a boy's costume, one of your friends might notice you. But if you dress like a girl, they never will. Think about it."

"But do I have to dress like a little girl?" I asked.

It is not the same

Submitted by on

“Ole Bing” was singing about a “White Christmas” and the whole Martinez family had gathered together to celebrate as they did every year. Joey sat on the floor surrounded by his presents. Gifts from his Mom and Dad, and gifts from his brothers and sisters too. Having older brothers and sisters sure was nice when it came to Christmas!

Cold Mutations

Submitted by on

My cold has mutated into bronchitis, combined with my chronic sinusitis and now I'm having asthma attacks. I've got medication for this so I'll be okay, just miserable and a little short-tempered for a bit--one of the asthma meds is a steroid.

I've spent most of my time since Saturday in bed while Mom's situation has moved only to stable. Still no prognosis for when she might get out of ICU.

One of my two brain cells misfired.

Submitted by on

This is awful. The other day I read a story that I believe was reasonably short, or perhaps it is just a chapter of it? It was just wonderfully romantic, and I left a comment to the effect.

Yesterday, I got a PM from Nick B saying thank you for the nice comment, but he was confused as to what story I was commenting on. Well, for the life of me, I can not remember.

"So what happened to your nephew Mark?" Denise asked. "Did Marcie come instead?"

"Yeah, sort of," Jane replied, laughing. "It's a funny story–"

Before she could start, I blurted out, "I'm Mark. I'm her nephew Mark."

Copyright 19 December 2007

This was not what my father wanted for me. I thought that fairly often, these days. I shook my head to make the thoughts go away, and opened up my ledger. With Engineblock disappearing, I only had to manage eleven, ah, free-range bodyguards for Heavy Sal Hadrian. Well, until Salvatore found him another fella to round out his 'Double Half-Dozen' again. In this business, you needed guys like Engineblock and Niner, but at least Heavy Sal used the threat more than he acted on it. Heh. Kind of like the 'good' gang of mobsters in that Keaton movie back in the '80s... what was it called again?

"Oh, my lord!" she cried. "You have to wear a dress every day for the next two weeks?" She actually sat down on the sidewalk, she was laughing so hard. I wanted to smack her, I was so mad. "We're going to have to do some shopping!" She clutched her sides.

A Christmas Visit

The early winter storm raged, slashing and tearing with icy blades at the weary Christmas decorations along the street vainly trying shine though the winterly onslaught. Ice glazed the poorly heated apartment windows erasing all signs of the holiday season as the storm howled.

Four days with a cold that's not getting better

Submitted by on

I'm subject to COPD so I've got orders from my doctor to come in with a bad cold for prophylaxis against opportunistic bronchitis. So I'm going to the doctor today myself.

My mom is not stable with her breathing problems so they are concentrating on getting her stable so they can do more tests. My brother is working at home today so he can be on the phones and catch a plane if needed.

My debt to Enid

Submitted by on

I read a lot of Enid Blyton when I was a child (probably at the tail end of her greatest popularity). I had a bookcase full of the 'Famous Five', 'Secret Seven' and '...of Adventure' series, but my favourites were the school stories. I especially loved Mallory Towers, where all the girls were very grown up, level headed and well turned out (even the beastliest of girls came round in the end).

"Oh, Marcie," Ms. Price said with a concerned frown, "What happened to you? I thought you'd get here ahead of me."

In answer I looked up at the Queen of Hearts lookalike standing next to me. I wanted to say, What happened to me? She happened to me. That's what happened to me. Then I looked from Ms. Price's eyes to the hand on my arm, to try to tell her, I'm her prisoner now.

Easy Over?

Submitted by on

The most recent episode gave what could be an ending to the story. If that's what you the readers want, it can stop there. If it does I've enjoyed the ride, at times it has stretched me.

If however, you want it to continue, let me know. Equally, if you think it's run its course feel free to say. I'm 'Easy' either way.

Thanks for the support and your comments,

hugs,

Angharad (& Bonzi).

Healing a Princess...11 (River Attack!)

Submitted by on

          Rikki was jolted awake by the feverish ringing of the boat’s bell. He lay quietly, holding his breath, listening for sounds. Feet were padding hard along the deck, then the sound of metal ringing out and a cry of pain. Rikki leaped from his bed. His bare feet touched the deck only once as he reached the door to his cabin.
          “Attack, we are under attack!” a voice called from the deck above.

to edit or not to edit... pt 1

Submitted by on

The whole... to edit or not to edit... idea. It's a funny one and as I'm a wee bit precious about my 'babies' I've sort of steered clear to now. Being somewhat of the freeform let it flow school as opposed to the sit and proof and edit and proof and edit school it's sort of interesting to try the different approach.

Dialogue convention

Submitted by on

The last writing class I had was back in the 80's and then I read an article by Piers Anthony, I think. It was his position that the he said, she said convention was too cumbersome and suggested only doing enough of that to identify who is saying what. He suggested that we double space lines where we switch from one character to another.

Engineblock

Copyright 15 December 2007

I was awake. I knew I was awake, because the pain told me so. It is said that you don't feel pain in your sleep. So, if I was feeling this, I must have been awake. I don't think I wanted to be awake.

I opened my eyes. Nothing changed, so I held a hand in front of my face. Well, I tried to hold a hand in front of my face. My knuckles encountered something rather solid, and I still couldn't see what was going on. I closed my eyes again. If there's no real difference between closed and open, may as well keep 'em closed and keep stuff from getting in them, right?

Mom back in the hospital

Submitted by on

They sent her over from the rest home with a temp they couldn't get down but the doctors at the hospital don't seem too worried and Mom is in good spirits and actually a little less confused than she's been being. I've got a cold so I don't dare get too close and I'm running a temp myself, a mild one. They're giving her antibiotics and intravenous liquids and will keep her for at least a couple of days. I'll go over in the morning to check on her but I think she's going to be fine and back in the convalescent hospital soon.

I need some help

Submitted by on

I am enjoying working on my Alicia story but I have ran into a problem outside of my preview of experience big time.
You see, I plan on this pretty soon after a few chapters to turn into a courtroom drama as i hope those reading can tell from the police interrogations.

My problem is this, I have no experiences in this area and not even enough to fake it.

Home Alone. Something weird is happening!

Submitted by on

Strange things are happening. It's not Halloween. There isn't a full moon. Nasty beasties, as far as I know are not roaming 'out there'.

But I'm puzzled and perplexed. Something is not right with the world. Things may not be as they seem.

Why?

Well, Home Alone Book 2 ~ Moving on ~ Chapter 7 has had no less than 941 hits, but and this is the strange bit, Chapter 8 has had 1001 hits!

A wonderful story. Healing a princess.

Submitted by on

I must admitt that I hesitated to read Healing a Princess because it is not TG. However, if I had not read it then I would have missed out on one of the best stories I have seen in a while.

Sure, there are some other stories that I follow, installment by installment like a panting fan.
