Quote by ladysharon
why so quiet in here?
It's quiet because people are reading...
You know, like in a library...

Words of Wisdom for Today...I normally try not to get too deep, but sometimes I just can't help myself...
1. Money cannot buy happiness but somehow, it’s more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes Benz than it is on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard’s name.
3. Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then neither does milk.

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night during a show in a small town in Arkansas, with his dummy on his knee. He is going through his usual dumb blonde jokes, when a blonde woman in the 2nd row ,stands on her chair and starts shouting.
" I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a persons hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It is guys like you, who keep women like me from being respected at work, and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as a person., because you continue to perpetuate discrimination, not only against blondes, but women in general., and all in the name of humour."
The ventriloquist is deeply embarrassed and began to apologise., when the blonde yells, "You stay out of this mister, I I'm talking to the little bastard on your knee."

We have another election coming up before long.. and once again we've managed to get the most absurd cluster of completely unqualified clowns on the face of the earth to choose our leader from.. and since our votes actually mean nothing and it usually boils down to who can belch the alphabet.. I think we should adopt the Lewis Black process for becoming President... he says we take a monkey.. put him in a plane and fly him 3 miles over the earth.. push him out of the plane with a parachute.. and the first person he touches after he lands is President.. how could we possibly do worse? oh.. wait.. he could land in Texas... shit!!!
Rest in Peace
Hey D-C...be careful that monkey don't land on you...

I see what you're doing Sharon...trying to get a little extra mileage out of the same story...
Nothing wrong with that, btw...I posted the first 3300 words of a contest story for an "adult" site here on SS as "His Christmas Wish"...so, it works...

Btw, I am rather happy to announce...OK, I'm bragging a bit...but, I sold my fifth story this year...
Love Conquers All will post on one of the erotic e-Zines, I probably can't mention, under its original title of "Sexual Healing"...it's a love story, btw...and got a rather big response when it first appeared on the net last year...
You can read it right here on Stories Space, btw...if you have not already...it's the only story I've sold that is on SS...
Here was the notice I got...name of e-Zine removed...

Btw, I just mentioned over in a writing group I'm a member of on Facebook that by far the best catch phrase I've ever read regarding writing I read earlier this year in a writing group I'm a member of on LinkedIn...it goes...
"Don't get it right, get it written."
I know that a lot of people won't agree with me, but I feel they are words to live by as a writer. It's the reason I usually post my stories before I actually read them myself...I don't give myself time for self-doubt to sink in. Too many writers, especially beginners, try to make a story "perfect" before they post it...the fact is, your story will never be perfect, and if you try to make it "perfect" the only result will be that you never post it, and an otherwise perfectly good story will just sit on your hard drive for all eternity, never to be read by anyone...except yourself a thousand times looking for ways to make it better...
Just my two cents...
(Where's the two cents emoticon here, btw? Don't see it...
)

Interesting, and short, little article in Bizcovering that someone posted in a writing group over in LinkedIn...for anyone thinking about entering the writing field in any form...here's a quote...
"So, as many prospective writers and publishers have already found out, now is the perfect time to start or fully launch their writing careers, if they ever really wanted to do this for a living. One of the reasons why this is the perfect time to really work on your writing, and getting published is because due to the constant and growing request for online work such as writing, many writers are finding out that it is easier than ever to make money from this job."

That is wonderful Miss Sharon...Congratulations...you'll have to tell us all about it one of these days...
Perhaps even write some good stories based on this new inspiration.ajslLL48ymS0JB6K

This may be of interest to some here...Calliope's Closet is "A site in celebration of contemporary women writers with a focus on poetry, fiction and artwork."...oh wait, it says that on the link below...never mind...

Figured somebody would appreciate that...and it's funny how true it is, at least for me...I've been known to put friends, neighbors, relatives in stories...sometimes by name...
Nothing bad though...
