Song-spiration Saturday: Don’t Bring Lulu

Saturday, December 14, 2024 Hello, one and all.  I know that I’ve been talking about Lulu quite a bit… but being around her is such fun.  Unless you’ve been following my blog for a lot of years, what you might not know is that Lulu’s first book, Hullaba Lulu: a Diesel-Punk Adventure started with inspiration … More Song-spiration Saturday: Don’t Bring Lulu

#ThursdayDoors — Nikola Tesla

Thursday, December 12, 2024 Hello, one and all.  I realize that Thursday Doors is supposed to have a Christmas theme this week… But including Lulu and her holiday story is about as close as I can come to that kind of post today.  I’m no better than Lulu when it comes to blog rules.  Or … More #ThursdayDoors — Nikola Tesla

It’s not Only the Lonely

Monday, December 9, 2024 Welcome, all.  I prefer to only post twice a week, but I had some heavy “ponderating” on my mind.  I guess I needed to give it voice.  You could also consider this a follow-on to my weekend short story, “It’s My Job.” Or a “PS” to the author note I put … More It’s not Only the Lonely

Song-spiration Saturday — It’s My Job

Saturday, December 7, 2024 Hello, all.  I hope you’ve had a great week.  I’m dusting off another song-inspired short story.  This one is from 2023. The cheerfulness of the song is not like my story — except in the twisting way my brain works.  It rather amused me.  Call it dark humor.  Besides, I couldn’t … More Song-spiration Saturday — It’s My Job

Whatnot Wednesday: Have You Met Lulu?

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 Hello, everyone. Today I have random whatnots about Lulu.  Have you met Lulu? She’s a wonderfully uninhibited flapper in the Diesel Era of the 1920s.  Whenever she’s around, you’re likely to hear the words “Don’t touch that, Lulu!” because she’s also very klutzy.  Lulu is also a great dancer.  She’s been … More Whatnot Wednesday: Have You Met Lulu?

Whatnot Wednesday & #ThursdayDoors — Automatic Doors

Wednesday, November 20, 2024 Above, the Pointer Sisters perform “Automatic.” Hello, all.  To help us over the midweek hump, that’s a blast from the past (1984) with the Pointer Sisters.  I remembered the song, but never realized it was them.  The song was a great fit because I’ve been working on a Thursday Doors post … More Whatnot Wednesday & #ThursdayDoors — Automatic Doors

Weekend Short Stories: a Lighthouse Story

Saturday, November 16, 2024 Lighthouse video by James Taylor below.   Hello, everyone.  How do so many hours escape, leaving so many things undone?  This time I’m taking a shortcut by rerunning a story.  I wrote it in 2022 for Dan Antion‘s Thursday Doors writing challenge.  Another reason why I chose to share it is … More Weekend Short Stories: a Lighthouse Story

Whatnot Wednesday: Creativity Challenge

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 Hello, all. I hope you’ve had an easy climb to this midweek “hump day.”   No, this is not a feline visit. I featured the Scoobies… just because. Recently I’ve tried to take the advice to get back to creative pursuits.  Or maybe I should say to the kind things most people … More Whatnot Wednesday: Creativity Challenge
