Fiction Friday: “Fair’s Fair”
Jenny watched as the sun’s blazing rays skimmed the horizon and gently closed the heavy draperies of the picture window facing the Pismo Beach coastline.

Confuzed by the Muse
Where does she hide? What does she look like? Where does she store all of my innermost thoughts and ideas? How come she is so inaccessible when I most want a visit from her? Does she find pleasure in withholding creativity? Does she delight in my dilemma? Why do I feel so lost when my…

I Strongly Dislike
I don’t like the word “hate”. Not because I don’t hate anything but I strongly dislike using it because it seems….well..so hateful. That being said let me share a few things I strongly dislike. 1) the wind. I understand it has its attributes but it makes me sneeze like a freak…..sometimes 10 in a row.…
