Reading, Writing, Pondering: Big Life Themes, Literature, Contemporary/Historical Issues |
Welcome to the 14th century, in a farflung outpost of the Holy Roman Empire, and a new Convent outpost of the terrrifically powerful Roman Catholic Church. Sound historically dull? Hopefully not so--for this is NOT an ordinary 14th Century Convent. Back after a six-year hiatus.... From NaNoWriMo historical Supernatural novels in Scotland, Michigan, South Alabama and historical horror in Standwood Station, GA-to the Phantom Northern Woods-to singlehandedly refighting the American Civil War-to exploring Social Justice and standing for First Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution-we deal out horror, Supernatural, Historical, fantasy, mystery, and more. We do not fear outspokeness. And always, always, always, We Do History. Find it here. We write it. We read it. We hold strong opinions. We orate. Meanwhile, whether we're writing or just reading, we love to rave about books and authors right here! |
Prompt: What is the best thing that happened to you this year? Totally simple answer: This site right here! Yes, WDC! February 19 I read SM's late evening letter about reviewing, got inspired, and since February 20 I've reviewed one or more items here per day. That's not all! In September I decided I would write NaNo this year, again, so I signed up for October NaNo Prep (and completed it), and so since September I've participated daily, I write again, I endeavour to be both Encouraging and Enlightening; and even though I can't win Contests *sigh*, still I'm active daily and hopefully shine my own light here, where so many multiple others shine too. |
Prompt: "It is the sweet, simple things of life which are real after all." Laura Ingalls Wilder Do you agree with this? Yes, absolutely of course! I'd far rather hug an oak tree, play with my dog, view the welcoming smile on the face of my grandchildren, than watch reality tv or worry about the stock market (neither of the latter I ever do). Far better to enjoy our minds, our spirits, and the greatness of Nature. |
Dashing through the sand On a one-hump camel band, Over the dunes we go, Laughing all the way; (HO HO HO) Bells on saddlebags ring, Making spirits bright, oh What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-hump camel band. |
