I've finished this story that it feels like I've been trying to write my whole life. I started it the summer I was fifteen and taking swimming lessons from a set of twin brothers. Handwritten in a spiral notebook, when school started that fall, it was passed around and around and when it made its wa... Comment - Like

That evening, we sat in the pews, rejoicing as good news of each church member who worked in the trade center drifted in. Living through the grief, fear, and anxiety, we needed to be together, to see each other, to touch each other. Cell phones didn't work and we had no way of knowing who was safe... Comment - Like

He wore his sorrow as if it didn't fit and pulled in awkward places and pinched in others. He stuttered slightly and swallowed, trying to form words that wouldn't come naturally. The audience barely breathed, as if our breath was being sucked into his soul and giving him strength. Finally, after say... Comment - Like

Ok... this is very odd. I've just heard from a very reliable source that my blog here is AWOL... missing... leaving behind a few photos and a chat box... but it looks like it's here to me. Has anyone else heard of that happening? Or have had a similar experience?? This may be an exercise in futili... Comment - Like

I can relate to Herb Vogel, the mailman/art collector from NYC who with his wife lived in a one bedroom, rent controlled apartment in Manhattan where they lived on her research library salary and spent his on unknown, still affordable artists for their entire married life. They collected not just on... Comment - Like

Funny how that works, isn't it?
It's a big world out there, with all kinds of customs, virtues, beliefs, organizations, thought patterns, histories, and learnings. If you study 24 hours a day, you can't take it all in. So what's a person to do? Acknowledge how much more you... Comment - Like

Good question.
I think the writing part of my soul took a vacation and left me with a stack of books to read and a ton of Bollywood films to watch, but I'm all read out and all Bollywood movie-d out and the ideas are flowing faster than my fingers. I can't write fast enough or on enough projects. I... Comment - Like

Rufus sits on the back step, watching the wildlife around him, too hot to do more than think about chasing them. Levi, his arch-enemy, lays in wait under the flowers in his own yard for a change. Levi's crazy owner thinks Rufus is the cause of the war, and he is, but not in the manner she suspects. ... Comment - Like

Time stopped briefly Sunday Night while Van Ness Wu performed at the Fillmore for APAHM (Asian Pacific American Heritage Month) in New York City. Tight and intense, the consummate performer gave his all to the adoring audience. Old favorites, new releases, and a bit of personal chatter, Van Ness... Comment - Like

Finished my contribution to the Nicholl competition six hours before the deadline so now we wait... until October ... to hear if it makes it through the quarter-finals. It's better than last year's submission. It's a fairly solid screenplay so I'll be looking for places to submit it/... Comment - Like

All kinds of stars- the ones in the sky, the glow in the dark stick on the ceiling hang from a tree ones, Christmas stars in silver, red, gold, or blue, big metal ones on a stick that you put in your front yard until someone suggests they'd look better in the garden, and stars on&... Comment - Like

From two years ago... it's funny the connection I feel to this complete stranger. I told someone recently that I know we would have been friends if we hadn't lived on opposite sides of the worlds in totally different lives. I wish I could explain this odd sensation that happens when I see hi... Comment - Like

When I was in fifth grade, a friend was moping because she didn't have a boyfriend. I didn't have one either, but my friend said she'd die if she didn't have a boyfriend soon. So when I came across a school photograph of a beautiful boy in a box of used books, I hatched this ingeniou... Comment - Like

From 2007... just a fun bit of writing from the wonky side of my brain- still not sure just what triggered this tale...... because you can't explain some people's behavior no matter how hard you try...
... and because my mind works this way sometimes...
a bit of flash fiction

We saw each other countless times during the day- sometimes for all three meals, and it never occurred to me that the time would come when it would be years, nearly decades, between our times together. I knew how they reacted to nearly every simuli- the weather, bad cafeteria food, a worrisome repor... Comment - Like

From March 2005... Part of a real story... in celebration of the day in which we remember a betrayed Caesar... I'm not sure I'll ever finish this tale. I know I've told several stories from my time working at the Growth Stock Theater Company... but this is about my first day... enjoy!
