Friends Only (mostly)

vamp
...But I love making new friends. If you see me in a community or just want to be added, comment or add me and you'll almost certainly be added. I just wanted to keep the spam bots away. I'm tired of getting ads for viagra when I'm talking about my kids.

I post publicly at my website http://www.runningnekkid.com/ which is LJ syndicated at runningnekkidfd. That's where I try to do more writing writing, with varying degrees of success. I would love it if you visited me there, too.

I hope you're doing well. And if you're not, I hope that you have good people around you who can help make it bearable until you are well. Thank you for coming by.

I haven't been posting links to stuff over here like I said I was gonna. So here are some posts from the blog blog:

The Ghast (fiction): I creep through the corridor, fingers tight around the handle of my shingler's hatchet. The close walls are cool and damp; over the winter they'll be pelted with rain and hail and probably snow. The Assembly managed to find shingles to cover the slanting plywood roof, but there wasn't enough exterior paint in any of the neighboring houses. Just the satin interior kind that was good enough at first. It won't be good enough for much longer.

Mother's Day Recovery: The best Mother's Day gift we ever gave my mother was a bouquet of flowers sent to the hospital where she worked as a nurse's aide. The card read "Happy Mother's Day, love your ungrateful bastard children." Normally she would have been pissed that we hadn't come home for a big brunchy to-do, but because we sent her flowers! To work! We were at least a little bit forgiven. And she could show all of her coworkers the proof, in writing, that her children were indeed the ungrateful bastards she always said we were.

Left Of (fiction): She slid the flower behind her ear, its curling stem trailing down behind her earlobe. It tickled a little, but she didn't let him see her fidget.

Daughters of Silence: In the early years before we learned about sticking together, my mother's active abandonment pitted me and my sister against one another. We became invisible children, not quite furniture while the other sibling would be the temporary favorite. At first we naturally sided with our mother against that awful other, joining in her abandonment until some unknown atonement had been accepted.

Getting Ballsy

So I've been trying to put myself out there; flinging my words at the internet and seeing what happens. It's an experiment. (Or that's what I keep telling myself so I quit rolling around on the bed weeping that I'm doing it all wrong. All what? I have no idea.)

Anyway, so part of putting myself out there this week has been to submit three of my posts to the BlogHer 2013 Voice of the Year.

What's in a Prologue?

vamp

His breathing was hot and rapid against her neck as his head pressed into her shoulder. The leak of his diaper spread cool wetness into her bare hands; into the fabric of her dry clean only uniform. She leaned into the door frame, rubbing one key after another with fingertips searching for a telltale texture. Tonight, at least, she didn't drop the entire ring.

In Response to Sorrow

Hold your children a little tighter.

I've seen that message come across so many articles and blog posts and status updates. Hug them tighter. Love them more.

Be grateful.

And while I do agree that you need to touch and feel and confirm the life of your loved ones after re-learning the lesson that the world can be chaos and its people murderous, it's not always quite that easy. (read the rest of the post here.)

Spam of the day

Hardly focused means that you are review give something specific. Do not pick a of inquiry on which you could think up non-fiction a book.

Instead of abortion, write almost a personal to local abortion clinic and its impact on the neighborhood. Preferably of the fuzz harassment, write about the behavior of the police on your hinder or in your reflex neighborhood. Focusing your matter cock's-crow and time resolution recover you duration by better directing your research. A focused point also leads to a focused paper. The just thing worse than discovering that you spent four hours at the library conclusion inessential statistics is putting that tangible into your distribute simply because you institute it.


(I mean, duh.)

Song for today

(Well goodness, the song title seems really morbid in light of the events in Boston. Definitely not intentional)

TouCanDoIt!

Okay, so maybe selling our sailboat wasn't exactly a tragedy, but it definitely was a blow to the spirit. There's a metaphor, I think, to be found on the water; about depression and survival and finding a way to navigate the fluid expanse of life. About the slow going-ness of calm water and how much faster we get to where we're going when the weather seems almost treacherous. About casting off and leaving behind and coming back into port tired and quietly satisfied. Tacking and jibing and trimming the sails, letting the right amount of wind spill over them so you don't overwhelm your little vessel making its zigzagging way across the sea.
