One of my favourite books. The discussion that follows about adding the dead rat to the Irish stew is great.
We had a discussion as to whether the rat should go in or not. Harris
said that he thought it would be all right, mixed up with the other
things, and that every little helped; but George...
Poe: The Black Cat
I have never known what to make of this story. For that matter, I have never been able to decide whether I like Poe.
The narrator states he is not mad and the tale, which inspires him with terror and tortures him, is merely a series of household events. He was gentle...
Two short stories for the whole month, and some very eager person jumps the gun :p so I'll take it slowly and try to make it last.
I'll make this post only about the first story.
Mary Maloney loves her husband and goes to a lot of effort to make her home a comfortable and pleasant one. Meadow...
Here's another; it's about Sparhawk's waterbirds in froggy heaven.
The Best of Intentions
Janice winced, hearing Tom and his friends, back after a morning of sport, boasting.
The water birds wouldn’t have had a chance, she knew. She had accompanied Tom once, and had waited around the small...

I am making a start, and hope more of us join the fun.
LIFE
“I am going away,” she said, and left.
“Why?” everyone asked him...

Cinderella's Escape : Published on Feb 2, 2014
Anna Maria lived with her stepmother Priscilla, and her stepsisters, Stella and Marcella.
Cinderella's stepmother was no way as evil as Priscilla. Her stepsisters were a little less mean than Stella and Marcella.
Anna Maria did not live among...
This is what I said when I was getting ideas. I said I made them up; they came out of my head.
But I have hit a very dry patch and have nothing to show for two weeks of work except a dozen false starts.
WHERE DO IDEAS COME FROM ?!
Hello,
May I suggest you just start and keep at it . Write whatever comes to you. Don't worry about order or chapters. Just get into the groove. You obviously have a story if it has bothered you for so many years but you are not able to start it; it is sort of tangled in your mind. But if you...
I will ration your poems and enjoy them one at a time!
Here, you are neither at a loss for words or thoughts. They flow gently...like a stream of clear water under soft sunlight. Thank you.
And, unfortunately, get tired of it, and the cycle would start over again with another favourite. Soon you would be like the rich kid who has everything and wants nothing!
Better a short life than live forever and run out of choices. Or worse, live forever and keep creating new choices, not...
