A Stab at Writing Fiction

Adventures Of The Minute Women

For the past month or so, I've been working on writing a novelette with the intent of publishing one chapter a week. There is enough written now that you can get started with it if you'd like.

 

It's a very idealistic (wishful thinking) story of how our national politics might play out, with the change agents coming from outside of the political arena. 

 

The chapters and the preface are available in two different formats. One is as blog posts, where there is the usual scrolling. The other is as pdf files, which have page numbers. The latter can be read online or downloaded. The Navigating The Site tab explains how to access these.

 

Enjoy!

 

Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye

From the bully pulpit
To the pulpit of a bully
If he is a culprit
Then prosecute him fully.

When You Can't Triangulate The Information

A source you don't trust tells the truth
Believing them is just so uncouth
So what do you do
Do you tend to eschew
Then look for something strong to mix with the vermouth?

The Writer Does The Work So The Reader Doesn't Have To --- Really?

Proofreading such a difficult task
It's tempting to take out a flask
A remark ad hominem
About the evil homonym
In its glare the author doesn't bask.

Jestation

Is there a value add
With a joke that's incredibly bad?
An audible groan
Followed by a moan
Then the smile appears showing he's glad.

Mother Nature Sending Us A Message

The lull after a storm
Calm which is not the norm
But then comes the noise
Creativity it destroys
The blather makes us conform.
