Summary:Just a reflection of what I see on this site day to day and feelings that arise.
It isn't for reviews just suggestions and "tip of the hat" to new writers.Chapters: |

Summary:This is really more for a middle grade audience and is a humorous tale. It's about one of those staple teen protagonists, Abbie (who happens to have an funny bodily issue), who is tired of being picked on by the school biatch, Dylan, and decides to give her a taste of her own medicine.
I wrote this for fun and I hope you like it. Feel free to comment at will. As any writer should, I can take it.Chapters: |

Summary:This is an autobiographical account of the effects of childhood sexual abuse on an adult survivor. The story is raw, and some details may be disturbing, but they are necessary. I normally do not write autobio pieces, so this story is very personal for me. I want feedback. I want to know how it makes the reader feels. My goal is for the reader to develop some understanding of the pain that abuse inflicts on the victim decades after the attack. I intentionally kept the story narrowly focused. It is purposely short and direct to make an emotional impact. It's impossible to examine the all the effects of such a crime on one's spirit, family, career, faith, and outlook of life. The story is not meant to be uplifting or inspirational. It's simply an account of a tragedy, and an unexpected consequence I've experienced.Chapters: |

Summary:Henry has a special friend- the best kind of friend. Henry's friend is loyal, strong, and absolutely invisible.
This is flash fiction according to a standard set at 1000 words. Any feedback is welcome. This is actually an older piece that I just recently came across. I had forgotten how much I like this story.Chapters: |

Summary:The Golden Gate Bridge has about one suicide jumper a month - that we know of. It is 435 feet to the water and, 99.9% of the time, will do the job. The fire department and Coast Guard hear of most. The call goes out as a "Bay Rescue". About five to ten minutes later the call is cancelled announcing the Coast Guard doing a body recovery. It is never "billed" as a suicide. I do not make light of this subject. I understand it. Posting this makes me nervous as it acknowledges parts within me which are frightening.Chapters: |

Summary:Supposed to be for the Drabble Challenge. However, after reading the rules, I don't think it qualifies. Thought I'd post it anyway. And the counter is a little frustrating. Titles don't count. I posted 103 words. I've counted 100 and the counter says 94. I'm throwing my hands up.Chapters: |
