Summary:

Just having some fun. I'm having a bit of trouble writing my next chapter. This is to motivate me (and others) to git writing. But if I'm going to be honest, writing this poem is a form of procrastination, isn't it?

A contest entry, not because I am enamoured with contests, but because who can't use fifty bucks? This isn't a snapshot of my authorial epiphany. That took too long and is pretty boring. This 'story' may be too. Any tightening suggestions will be appreciated since this is basically just a slip down the stream of my conciousness. This is the first (and probably last) time I have written directly with the site's software, so if something looks egregiously wrong, let me know. Thanks and...Cheers! WK

Okay, here goes. I took Nadine's advice and turned the story of Callie (from defending Callie) into a novel. I have this under YA, but the target audience would be middle grade (third, fourth and fifth). Please keep this in mind when reviewing. This is a book written from a ten year old's perspective for children about the same age. The book is complete so I will be postig a chapter a day, the chapters are short. All constructive feedback is appreciated.

I am partially German and I am partially Dutch. I am partially Deutsch. None of that matters. I am an American who writes. With thanks to the comments that inspired this revision. I feel I have gone off message, but not far off. I hate to rewrite anything, but a man has to do what a man has to do...

This is my submission to the Drabble Contest. I've never written a Drabble, and I had a lot of fun writing this one. I thought it would be fun to write my Drabble in rhyme... I read everything I could find on the writing of Drabbles, and I couldn't find anything to suggest that prose was the only form in which one could be written.

Summary:

Author Lady is back for another snarky review of the writing world. It has nothing to do with anyone on this site or any review given to me or anyone I know or have seen – well, okay, I was talking to Dewey about descriptions. He told me I need to work on mine – which is true – So I get to write another short story and I hope I get the descriptions right, hang the characters and the plot! I just want to work on my descriptions – or is word painting a better descriptive phrase? (WARNING – BLOOD AND GUTS – COULD BE A BIT DISTURBING)

Summary:

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso---- Believing WE ARE ALL CREATIVE, Echosis explores the consequences of a world where the threat of a global strike by artists of all disciplines brings the brokers of art, entertainment and the media to their knees. Reminiscent, in part, of NETWORK and its plea for a public to speak out, in anger if necessary, Echosis chronicles the growth of NYC sculptor, Derek Turrel, and the obstacles he encounters in trying to hold onto his integrity as he realizes success and influence via his new paradigm for Art and Entertainment appreciation. He proffers his beliefs to a world gone amuck with media's continued contempt for individuality and its determination to "give the people what they want" instead of affording them a creative opportunity for learning "what they need." AS A RESPECTFUL REQUEST, PLEASE START ANY REVIEWING WITH CHAPTER ONE, AS JUMPING INTO THE MIDDLE OF A NOVEL IS RUDE AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO BOTH WRITER AND READER. IGNORING THIS REQUEST WILL RESULT IN MY NOT READING YOUR REVIEW, AND AN AUTOMATIC 1 RATING FOR LACK OF RESPECT.

Introduction.... DADDY, WHY CAN'T I SAY 'ASS?' is about living in the moment, as well as living in some other moments; keeping your eye on the goal, once you get a goal; and eating hotdogs instead of Matzoh-ball Ramen soup. It’s about parenting the modern girl-child from the perspective of a divorced father, while he tries to find his voice as a writer and his place as a husband.
