K.T. Leone The Lady, Her Life, Her Stories

Ms Leone was one of those whose life touched thousands..., millions of others by her own example and through her stories. She posted "God Bless the Child" again a few days earlier. Each can take from Katie's desire to repost and the story whatever meaning they wish. For me, I believe with all my heart and soul, Katie was one of God's own blessings.

Proofreading and story obscurity

I think I'm not alone when I say that i'm not the only one who has issues with grammar. However, in writing the second installment of my story Broken Phoenix I've come to realize that I may have mistakes that I won't see by looking at it. With this being my first story I kinda feel like I have a "expectation" to uphold/Repel. By that I mean that people enjoy my story where I am now, but on the flip side with me being a rookie so to say when it comes to writing people are expecting me to screw up the story beyond repair.

April Fool?

I am at the age where a Colonoscopy is usually suggested. (Okay, I'm older than that but who cares) Anyway, the Booking Nurse phoned me two weeks ago to make arrangements, as my last one was five years ago. She said the earliest she could get me in was April 1st. I asked her if that was a good day, and she said "We do screening everyday but I can get you a different date if you want" I guess she had to check her sense of humour when she started work that day.

Friday Cat Blog

At 0515, while sleeping soundly, I hear a familiar wrenching noise (I am a very light sleeper!). With seconds to spare (actually, there were no seconds to spare) I quickly kicked my resident throw up artist off the bed. Immediately on landing, I hear the familiar sound of last nights snack being spewed on the carpet...

I would add a picture, but I haven't figured out how to insert a picture from my iPhone into a blog entry or a comment. As a consolation prize, I offer this:

Formating error apology

My apologies to all who had trouble reading "Dumb bet" because of the excessive use of italics. When I went to format the file for posting, I messed up and put an <em> where a </em> should have been. The result was the rest of the story pretty much was in italics. Sorry. I use italics to denote a persons thoughts and only sparingly to add emphasis to a word. The only other time I use italics is if I insert an authors note.

"All The King's Horses"

Well, I'm not registered over at Whateley (on purpose) so I can't comment there. And even if I could, it wouldn't do the reader any good, due to their comment system. There is a fairly new story posted, titled "All The King's Horses", its a first generation canon story. I'm not going to spoil it for anybody, but I need to say this: For people who suffer with PTSD, this may very well push some buttons for you. It did for me. It is well written, I'll give it that.

I've finished another one

OK, I've managed to finish, and thanks to Alys9, have edited another offering for BCTS.

"Dumb Bet" is finally up. I started this story some three years ago and thanks to some gentle prodding, I picked it up again and managed to finish it. Then, I got lucky and found an editor who managed to persuade me to correct some of the errors. I'm afraid, that I did reject a few of her suggestions, so if you see anything amiss, it's all my fault.

I'm With the Band by Melanie Brown

Have just read Melanie Brown's 19 part story 'I'm With the Band'. It is a good story and if like me you only joined BC in the last couple of years you may have missed it.

It is well worth reading and she has plenty more stories to read in her story listings. Thank-you Melanie for the good reading.

Interview with an award winning author

I found this interview with Tim Pratt on twitter. He's won several awards for his sf/fantasy stories. He's also an editor for Locus magazine. He talks a little about the creative process and I thought it was interesting. Maybe some of the authors here would enjoy reading it.

It's a conspiracy I say. Although it's a a sad one. Tom Waits Traubert's Blues, Dougie's Loch Lomond, The Dubliners Parting Glass, 99% of the fan fiction I'm reading on AOO, ... *ad's a dozen of so different things* And then I just have to look at the pets ...

Another Friend Lost

Those of us who operate heavy equipment, farm equipment, machinery of any kind, including trucks and flying understand the possibility of death from associating with massive moving steel. Normal people take for granted the vehicle they use will operate in an acceptable manner. Growing up on a farm, I knew from a very early age when I climbed on that tractor (age 5) and daddy sent me out to the field with a plow, disk, or cultivator, that piece of machinery was lethal to everything it ran over.

Spelling

I curious about the spelling of a few terms that seem to be appearing in a few stories I have been reading.

shutter instead of shudder - "I shuddered at the creepy story"rather than "I shutter at that creepy story"
and the other one

"to do with" - some people writing "to due with."

Am I old fashioned?

I am curious on others thoughts

Back in the saddle again.

So, good news, Im back. Bad news, I don't know for how long. My school work load has increased an insane amount and the tests are coming multiple per day, which means that I am studying most of the time that I am not doing the homework. My family is still at about the same level of abusive, so it is just barely tolerable. My friends have been fairly distant for the same reason that I haven't been on (being that I didn't have time to even get together on the weekends). One of our dogs has a cyst on her eye (no one is sure how that happened) which is causing even more chaos around here.

paperwork

Well, step 2 is done so I phoned the service that actually is going the pay my pension. Got at least 2 to 3 months before they'll finish the paperwork. which means no income for March, April and probably May with the possibility of even longer. Lucky I got some savings but it's coming close to forcing my hand ...

So that's 3A. 3B is getting my name published again in the 'Belgische Staatsblad' (no clue for the englisch translation)with me being retired from the Civil Service, but I'm told that's only a formality

Still don't know the exact amount I'll be getting in hand :(.

The Agony and the Ecstasy (SEE Related)

Penny Lane asked what BC readers thought Garia would bring back from Earth. In response, I created a list of ten (10) movies that I would bring back if I were Garia. One of these movies was the Agony and the Esctacy (1965 staring Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison).

This movie was shown tonight (07 Mar 16) on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). After watching this movie tonight, I feel that I was correct in including this movie among the ten (10) movies that I would bring back if I were Garia.

Loving this site more each day.

When I first joined this site I was a bit skeptical as to whether or not I would find stuff that interests me. I must say I was proven wrong straight away. Heck I even got inspiration from a story for a scene in my upcoming story(which I'm having trouble coming up with a title for)

'homework'

Doing a prep for my next appointment with my psychiatrist (probably going to reschedule the one for April 11th to an earlier date). Thinking about the future and words I associate with different paths.

And here I'm thinking I'm being me again a..k.a. weird due to the words I'm getting. OK maybe I'm too prideful ... *sigh* and I don't like me when I'm thinking about some things.

Playing with my new laptop -- HELP needed from techno-geeks

OK, so my wife and I are looking forward to my retirement in just over a year. We are already having computer sharing issues evenings and weekends. When I retire, this will only compound so while we can still afford it, we decided to get a laptop. Something I never envisioned I'd ever need. Wanting to get something that wouldn't be obsolete by the time I retire, I decided to go big.

Interesting Thought

I enjoy reading and thanks to my father from a young age have had a love of science fiction.

I was asked recently what my preference was, I spent a lot of time thinking about this

The answer I came up with is depending on my mood the genre of story changes.

Fantasy, Real Life, Alternate Reality or Magic/Mystical.

But what really had me scratching my head was Sci/Fi, until I realised that technically all stories here are Sci/Fi by definition.

Where have all the Darts gone?

Growing up, all our blouses, shirts, dresses had "darts". For sleeveless blouses and for most dresses the dart came in from the sides an inch or two below the arm hole. For western shirt or blouse it sometimes came in from the side and sometimes from the hem. I don't remember a single SImplicity Pattern that didn't have darts unless it was a pattern for a "Shift".
