Filet Of Soul (Short Story) - 2/22/2005 7:30:57 PM
A very interesting story here and then there is the question about what really happened to William. But you do write a good mystery story here. By the way it is nice to have another Virginia writer on the den. I do crime stories too.

The Meek Shall Inherit (Short Story) - 1/13/2005 6:59:45 AM
Now this is whole different spin and I think I will reread it so as not to miss out on something.

Ghost Fight (Short Story) - 6/18/2004 12:53:04 AM
You definitely have a gift for cross-genre writing. I enjoyed this very original story tremendously. Thanks for sharing.

Price Of Paradise (Short Story) - 2/29/2004 2:19:27 AM
This is an eerie story, but you put Testament in the background of it -- it makes it even darker. Very strong write. I like the dialog elements in this, brings out kind of a mystery horror hybrid here.

Very enlightened article!Thank you - Doug

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (Article) - 10/31/2006 9:25:57 AM
The Dark Continent is a place that our creator has made visibly obvious to all who are not somehow deluded by the Master Rapist. It is a land of giant wild cats, enormous, horned beasts that can step on a human and kill them instantly, a land of wild predators that roam freely, and a place of dark people who live in grass hutted deserts and wear little or no clothes.

Origin Of The Backyard Gourmet (Article) - 8/10/2006 6:25:40 AM
What a wonderful culinary adventure you've had. I still say men make the best cooks.

Dealing With Critics (Article) - 10/4/2005 2:44:13 AM
Great article.I agree with you:image is very important to sell books.Take AD for instance, I started by placing poems on witchcraft and witches (pure fiction) and innocent pictures of ,I think, wicca gatherings.I live in France ,no one has heard of Wicca ,nor the Salem witch trials and I feel I have to censure my-self or else be branded as a witch ...expression seems to be a illusion in a country where The 1789 Revolution took place ,challenging oppression and inequality. People have to open up to novelty and diversity..Anne Pawlak.

The Lesson Of Terry Schiavo (Article) - 3/27/2005 12:44:43 PM
People still need to realize that the Supreme Court said that a woman has control over her body and not the husband ie. Abortion laws. I could not eat very much for weeks, months when I had cancer and no patient that I know of said they they weren't in pain. Perhaps some feel there is no pain involved but my husband and I know for a fact that is a lie. Two doctors were disciplined because they claimed that I was not in as much pain as I said I was. One smart guy kept pushing it on my husband but when he was grabbed by the throat and shoved up against the ER wall he relented. He no longer works at that ER. I believe that right now Terri is beyond the point of recovery but I am not buying what the lawyer said. You do make a point when you say that people need to do a living will but have a clause in it. I do hope that people will allow calmer heads to rule but I have to agree with the sentiment that even a death row inmate is treated better than she is. Micheal Schiavo's action speak for themself. And his money came from the suit he filed and suddenly he remembers what she said? His family testified to it? His lawyer has not received pay and the bills are paid by the state of Florida Medicaid. But everyone ignores that. Stress the point of the living wills and while it is said that you are not debating the merits of the case you really are.

Skeletons In My Closet (Article) - 2/9/2005 8:50:51 AM
I'd say that you were "fortunate?" to have had such paranormal activity happen to you at such an early age, giving you time to grow in perception through varied experiences throughout your lifetime. I consider such sensitivity a gift. I've always been attracted to mysticism, stories of the unexplained, and those of, "so called" miracles. They fascinate me, and I do strongly believe that one can influence their life journey via certain prescribed methods of attitude, visualization and quest. Intriguing, well written article!

Animals, Man, And The Thin Wavy Line (Article) - 12/16/2004 7:39:10 AM
You've raised some marvelous, and some very thought-provoking issues here, Ed. We are all, indeed, animals, too, on the evolutionary chain; and I believe we should all strive to treat other animals humanely and with respect, even the ones much lower on the food chain than we are. And I believe zoos can serve a purpose in enabling some species to continue life without being exterminated, as so many species currently are in our world today. And, many zoos have come a long way in housing animals in a more 'natural' habitat. Brookfield Zoo near my home has done a marvelous job in this regard. But I also believe that unless more people get involved in speaking up for our nonhuman neighbors as you have done, the world will soon have far fewer of them, and to me, that is truly a shame.

Animals, Man, And The Thin Wavy Line (Article) - 12/15/2004 6:20:35 PM
Thank You so Very Very Much for this intnese and alerting article here. On the one thing that of many great things,you do state here about the intelliigence imagination and responsibility knowing what agreeing that animals are very intelligent responsible and have imaginations that amaze me. Could tell you a story but won't. They amaze me totally and teach me daily. Thank You Really very Very Much for all that you have brought to the attention here. and all the time it took you in doing so. Thank You. God Bless you and Your family Tracey

The Library Fitness Plan! (Article) - 12/14/2004 7:50:29 PM
This is good advice and as eating excercising becomes an addiction too. Very good sound advice here Thank You for saving us the time and frustrations that go along with that word diet which usually makes me hungrier. Think it's a mental thing. Have a Wonderful Day all days,, Tracey

Identifying Abusive Relationships (Article) - 12/3/2004 6:07:15 PM
I am glad that you put this article on here because there are a lot of people that need to wake up and smell the coffee on abuse. Believe me I have seen a lot of it and spent this week trying to help a woman. Unfortunately she went back to her abuser and we are waiting on bated breath until the next time. I just hope it won't end like I have seen so many of them end. There are three innocent children involved here.

Who Should Be In Charge Of The Country? (Article) - 10/25/2004 11:22:59 AM
Nicely flowing and packed with useful information to voters! I do hope you are circulating this elsewhere. Regardless of the ballot cast, it is vital to understand the system! Your write gives information that, I am POSITIVE, a lot of folks don't understand.

What Is Family? (Article) - 3/24/2004 5:24:14 PM
What a lovely article. I agree completely with you. Relatives are forced, friends are chosen. The words you have used counjure images and this is wonderful for even though I live in a tropical country, I can just see in my mind's eye how Christmas was before and how it is now. Thank you.

When Teaching Becomes A Crime (Article) - 3/18/2004 7:07:03 AM
E. D., I was hoping that people would write what they really meant, but you seem to have held back a little, E. D. Okay, you're in the contest and so far the winner because this is the only entry so far. Watch the blogs for what the prize will be. Dan S.

When Teaching Becomes A Crime (Article) - 3/17/2004 4:57:30 PM
Excellent article, E.D. Now I want to write another article about my Catholic school experience. And another book about school violence (see Board Meeting). I agree with you that we must all get involved before anything will change, and that means politically involved as well as actively involved at the local and school level. I could tell you horror stories about parents who cry at home but won't make a public statement OR go to the school for fear of what will happen to their child if they do. (rational fear, because it happened to my child after I DID). Great topic - Dan. P.S. I agree with you,

Dealing With Critics (Article) - 2/7/2004 10:33:39 AM
This is excellent and full of wisdom. Writing is not for thin-skinned people. All criticism, good, bad, and even ugly is positive if a writer learns something from it and becomes a better writer because of it.

A Wish For Wings That Work (Article) - 1/15/2004 7:33:25 AM
Great article! I don't even like wings, and I want to go out and try some.

A Wish For Wings That Work (Article) - 1/13/2004 10:18:24 PM
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that the worst wings ever were from a restaurant in Philadelphia. Another bad Halloween/wing eating experience. I don't recall the name, but it was once featured on The Daily Show. Fried chicken wings served in...ketchup. Not even doctored-up ketchup! Ketchup wings...yechhh. Guess that blows my whole geographical location theory, huh?

Dealing With Critics (Article) - 10/29/2003 7:21:04 AM
Excellent piece, E.D. Lots of wisdom and truth. "If ya can't stand the heat, get out of this writing business" should be every writer's mantra. A bit lengthly for a typical article, but it held my interest until the end. Good job. Julie

Dealing With Critics (Article) - 10/28/2003 10:06:24 PM
Ahhh, critics...ya' gotta love 'em. And you are right, if something is panned, I'd rather form my own opinion. Good article. Writing is a tough business to be in. You have to be able to handle the rejection.
