The Wonderful Reedsy

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m very appreciative of Reedsy. It’s run by a great bunch of people, people who are willing to provide a forum not just for entertainment, but to help writers get there work published. They provide a wide variety of services to help aspiring authors, services like tutorials and editing, not to mention the huge shot-in-the-arm of their weekly writing contest.

The talented editors at Reedsy throw out a list of prompts every Friday, challenging and encouraging writers to come up with original, imaginative stories. Each week, they pick a winner, whom they gift with a monetary prize and the invaluable benefit of publication on the Reedsy Blog.

I recently had the honor of winning the weekly contest, one of the few times I’ve been able to see my work published. It was gratifying. So a huge shout out to the folks at Reedsy!

If you have any interest in reading my prize-winning piece about one time when a dog actually did eat someone’s homework–and then followed them to school–check it out at the link below.

Another heartfelt thank to the talented staff at Reedsy, and please, as always, enjoy your reading.

His Name is Blonde… Mr. Blonde

You all know I’m all about using my writing to entertain. I find it enjoyable and fulfilling. Now, not everybody can write. I’m not bragging; there’s simply an indefinable something that gives the writer the ability to put his thoughts into words. Plenty of people have amazing, interesting stories to tell. Writers are just the lucky ones who get to share it through the written word.

That said, there are plenty of ways people can entertain their fellow human beings. Some make music, some make movies, some make video games, and so forth. Now, some people who can’t—due to various circumstances—actually makes these fine art forms can still use them to entertain. And that takes a skillset all its own.
