As they say, better late than never. I’m kind of anal when it comes to post times. I like to have these scheduled to go live at midnight, but that was not an option today. I’ve been dragging me feet on this Fiction Friday prompt from Write Anything. For one reason or another, it just [...]
With the dawn of a new week, we have a brand new Writing Adventure Group (#WAG) theme. Like usual, when I saw the theme I drew a complete blank. I had no idea what direction I wanted to go and wound up putting this post on the back burner for a time. The day before [...]
On Saturday, my wife and I made plans that had us rising from bed at an early hour. I had a few errands to run and my wife had some shopping to do. Before any of that was to start, we headed out to have breakfast at Michael’s Diner in Douglassville. Once we were fed, [...]
In this weeks edition of Fiction Friday, from Write Anything, we were given the prompt “A boy and his father awaken early to watch the sunrise from their mountain campsite, but they begin to panic when the sky remains dark long into the afternoon”. At first I was eager to get started, because of all [...]
If it wasn’t evident from my posts over the past two months, I’ve been having a great time as of late writing fiction. It started out with my trying something new and telling the story of how Syrus and I were attacked by zombies. From there it grew to my participating in Fiction Friday by [...]

With my writing normally tipping the scales as over one-thousand words, I wanted something easier to digest. It also didn’t hurt that writing it up took far less time. Because I was [...]
For this weeks Fiction Friday, from Write Anything, I’ve decided to break the rules. I saw the opportunity to morph two different posts into one when I read this weeks prompt, “I knew it was a mistake the moment it was over”. This piece is not a complete work of fiction and should serve as [...]
Over the past several weeks I have been participating in a weekly challenge entitled Fiction Friday. It is pretty simple, each week a prompt is assigned and anyone participating is asked to write a piece of fiction based on that prompt. Some weeks are more challenging than others, but it is always a fun thing [...]

This week has been a busy one for me. After having spent the weekend covering the annual Cigarfest Mega-Herf in the Poconos, I was a little overwhelmed when it came time to play internet catch up. I had to push this weeks Fiction Friday challenge, from Write Anything, off much later in the week than [...]

Since many of my visitors know me from Stogie Review, you are probably well aware of the annual Cigarfest event put on by Cigars International. Just like the last year, I was fortunate enough to attend as a member of the press and report on the event. With Jerry and Brian busy, it was just [...]
