Joe was sitting around reading a spy novel and when it came to the hero saving the woman from a thrown grenade, he thought maybe this plot was made into a movie about ten years ago. He was disgusted; why can’t authors turn over a new leaf when writing? It was then the baby’s monitor started chiming and it was time to take her for a stroll. The big bacon and egg breakfast had soothed her long enough for Joe to finish the last chapter in the book, but it was daddy duty now.

No Theme Thursday

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Off again to answer the quest
A midnight warrior never rests 
A false king needs to be revealed
And I am the one his fate to seal
Never seeking another night
Where I’m called to stop a fight 
Of good versus evil or save the day 
In my daily life I can look away
Darkness comes and my spirit soars
A calling to me to stop the wars
End the suffering of the oppressed
It is my duty and I’ll do my best.

Dragged, damp, dirty, discouraged, disillusioned, disgusted, dispirited, diligent, dutiful.

Writer’s Workshop

My first time speaking in front of more than a few people was giving the opening speech at the State PTA annual convention. Of course I was nervous but I was proud to hold the office since I had started out as a member parent and worked myself up with different jobs I considered worthy and an honor. I believe the PTAs and PTOs do great work in our schools and deserve to be recognized as an important part of the education system.

Fandango’s Story Starter

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

As much as Tim had tried to ignore it, he couldn’t deny it any longer. They were just too big! Too damn big and what was he thinking anyway? She’d never go for a guy with big feet! She was a delicate small dancer and he was a big oaf. This isn’t beauty and the beast he thought, there’s just no way she’ll give me a second look. At that moment, Miss Julie Davenport walked up to him and asked him to dance. He was at the Sadie Hawkins dance at the local high school and standing on the side with a bunch of other boys. When Julie approached Tim, he thought he might faint. Maybe fairytales are true, he thought, as he took her hand.
