Welcome

Outside of commercially manufactured adrenaline rushes, the emotional toe-dipping lust for hot new skinny jeans or the fastest phone exists our increasingly rare genuine human experience. I sometimes struggle to remember that while life lives episodic, it is based on eternal themes. I hope that you are entertained by my exploration of this apparent dichotomy.

Still Here


Hello, my beloved readers. If this is your first visit to my humble blog, I extend my hardiest “Welcome!”

And to my returning guests, you have no idea how much I appreciate each of you. Knowing that there are those who care about my stories, poetry and musings brings me more satisfaction than I ever thought possible.

I realize that I’ve not posted in a while, almost two weeks, and for that I apologize. I write this post to thank you for your patience and explain what I’ve been doing. No, I’ve not run out of ideas- so many flood my mind that at times they’re difficult to capture. There are two reasons for my recent silence.

First, one my stories has grown, or morphed perhaps, into a novel. It is a project has alternately obsessed and frustrated me for the past three months. I have been fortunate enough to discover both a support group and amazingly talented writing coach that have provided the critique and encouragement that I so desperately need. The group is called PenPaperWrite. It’s run by the aforementioned “amazingly talented” person, Ms.Christina N. Ranallo. If you have the slightest inkling of interest in writing, I urge you to follow the link below. If you’re local to the Atlanta, GA area, come to a meeting. If you’re too far away, say in Pakistan maybe, you’ll find some good tips and exercises to help hone your writing skills.

Second, I’ve recently become involved in the start up of a new business endeavor. I won’t go into detail, but it is terribly exciting and it too obsesses and frustrates me. I will only say that it will allow me to further explore the limitless world of the written word.

SO, I’ve been very busy on very positive things.
            BUT, I intend to maintain the commitment I made when I started this blog- to provide whatever entertainment or escape I can to those of you who are gracious enough to donate some of your time to me.   

Thank you and here's the link:http://penpaperwrite.com/
