A to Z
Caitlyn issued another challenge on the Twitter. I have to write a story in which each sentence begins with a different letter of the alphabet, beginning with the letter A, and moving sequentially, i.e., B, C, D, and so forth. That gives me 26 sentences to tell a coherent story. I feel like this one … Continue reading A to Z
That Time I Got Beat Up By a Girl
I'm a sarcastic individual. If you only know me through this blog, I would hope that my sarcasm comes through in my writing. But I know it's difficult to convey tone through the written word. Anyone who knows me in real life can pick up on my sarcasm easily. One of my best friends even … Continue reading That Time I Got Beat Up By a Girl
My New Pet Peeve
Kids, I've recently discovered that I have a new biggest pet peeve. For years, my biggest pet peeve was people who refuse to use a turn signal.

Question of the Week #77
If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Wow. This question seems eerily similar to Question of the Week #75. Except that was about thinking you were going to die and then finding out a few days later you actually weren't. … Continue reading Question of the Week #77

The accident that caused his amazing transformation also caused him to forget whatever life he had known before. The media came to know him as Illuminate. It has been rumored that the man who became … Continue reading Illuminate
The Single Guy and the Release
I've mentioned before that there was a time in my life, several years in fact, when I had walked away from the church. I told myself that it wasn't the church or God that I was walking away from. It was the people. But since people make up the church, well, that's a conversation for … Continue reading The Single Guy and the Release
Let’s Go, Sugarbeet
Yesterday, my friend Caitlyn offered to provide a writing prompt to some folks on Twitter. I accepted the challenge. She gave me the first sentence. The rest was up to me...
