sorry ’bout that, as Hagrid would say. Been a bit away from the blog these past few days as I have been working on several pieces of important writing that, finally, I am feeling rather good about. It’s the full moon, I tell ya. Happens every month. I am my most creative right before the…

From last night’s daybook entry. . . . I’ve just returned from one of the best fireworks displays I have ever seen.

“Exit Interview” a short story by rus vanwestervelt copyright 2006 part one of seven parts Aidan shifted again in the chair, a worn, burgundy-clothed seat that was nothing more than the similar standard-issued piece of office crap he had sat in for the past 25 years. He was growing impatient. How long had he been…

The last 24 hours have been rich with dreams, the dead, and the dying. This happens to me a great deal when I am writing more than usual. I don’t know if this is because the juices are flowing a little more feverishly, or if it’s because I usually eat more ice cream when I…
