Driven to Write Mystery
For the past year, or so, Mac had been in a number of perilous situations. While it would seem to some that the role of writer, investigator and chief editor for the local news rag would seem benign, danger was always lurking just out of sight. Odd incidents seemed to be common occurrences. Mac’s new boss, Octavius Johnson, was a rather mysterious guy—at least as Mac saw it. He was hard to read. Octavius would give...

Adventures in Biking: Motorcycle Gang Meeting
This is a slightly modified copy of a website response to someone asking about some of the unwritten rules of the road for bikers. In this case, acknowledging another rider with a wave or nod. In thinking about it, my most unforgettable wave was actually a nod from the ‘Road Captain’ (he’s the person setting the pace and deciding when and where to stop, etc.) of a group of the m.c....

Some Degree of Writing Assignment Ideas
--- Excitement ! Thrills ! Adventure ! I suppose these are subjects we could write about. Something to consider is it’s important to realize they would be immediately attractive if they had catchy opening lines hinting at the stimulating story line, especially if they included some words that readers are drawn to, such as: 1. Lose weight 2. You may have already won 3. Crazy 4. Funny 5. 10 ways 6.... (posted by Ron 60 days 14 hours ago.)

A Whimsical Five Things in a Good Read
-- Inspiration is important. Indeed, I have been inspired by my friend, who goes by the pen initials of DL and is loosely considered a writer on this site. I will use her article as a model for mine, so be forewarned. As professionals, amateurs or other, we must read with clarity, or for those of us who have weak eyes, glasses. This will help us be discriminating in our choice of reading material. Personally, I... (posted by Ron 66 days 21 hours ago.)

A Problem to Solve
Demooshe was only eleven years old, but knew he was destined to be a warrior. Not like the fierce fighters of his Zuni ancestors, but still one to lead his tribe to a better way of life. After all, his name in the native language meant “arrowhead.” This was a good luck sign and a word very attuned to his dream of strength. But there was a problem of long standing. His family, including other members of the Owl Clan... (posted by Ron 88 days 10 hours ago.)

The Desert Lifeline
Hostile Indians weren’t the only danger in the hundreds of miles of southwestern desert country in the late 1800’s. No, you also had rattlesnakes, robbers and a few resentful Mexicans looking for some vulnerable early day settlers crossing this barren, unforgiving desert. There are some spots in that parched country that may not see any rain in some years—places were even cactus... (posted by Ron 105 days 4 hours ago.)
