Beach Retreat

11AugustSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Writing

I’ve worked quickly this last week to finish all my more urgentÂ class work before the trip.Â My plan is to give myself this week to get a couple of short stories written, and to that end I’ve been fleshing out a few story ideas. The only problem is, the outlines sound more like novels than

I find thatÂ IÂ draw two forms of inspiration from my classes. The first kind is usually a result of reading one of my history texts.Â Â Since history is fascinating to me and absolutely full andÂ over flowing with ideas about movers and shakers, cultures and people, that sort of inspiration usually results inÂ a story idea leaping off the

In the Headlights

19JulySuzanneWriting

Tonight as I was driving home (about 9:30pm) I came down a tree-lined, rural street and saw something big-ish in the middle of the road.Â Around here we’re always watching for dear, but this looked more like a dog.
