Dream of a Black Dog. I used to teach migrant school--this was a summer school, where the children of migrant farm laborers (mostly from Texas and almost exclusively Hispanic) came. It was 2 parts day care to 1 part skill building to 2 parts fun. I taught the 6-9th graders. They were pistols! I love...

Totally do-able. Thanks!

What are the word limits and so on?

Is there a place where this info exists?

And is there a specific theme or genre--or is it anything goes?

(My preference is Fantasy/SF, but I am flexible.)

I wonder if it is a philosophical/cultural thing?

Heh heh. It would be nice if they were all good words!

About half will get deleted and rewritten.

I'll look forward to hearing more about your writing!

I have bizarre, extremely detailed dreams. There is no way any dream analysis book could help me! The symbols must all be completely personal. I live in a very old house (about 100 years or so). It has old fashioned forced air heat registers. I dreamed one night that I was in my dining room and I he...

Hello, Edge! I'm here!



I have over a thousand words done today. Whoo hoo!

Sorta new. New here, anyway... A friend promised me he would bug me incessently until I came over here and joined up, so here I am... Hello! I told him I had to wait until the NaNoWriMo contest was done before I got involved anywhere else, but then, I thought, "What the heck," and came ove...
