Time: Where does it go? Most days it’s a race to keep up. It doesn’t wait, and slips away like water through your clenched fingers.
Reading: Don’t we all love it? Is there ever enough time to get our fill? I need a daily fix—at least a small one or I’m grouchy.
Life messes with our plans and schedules, doesn’t it? Instead of a novel, I’ll grab anything, even a cereal box to read words. Ha, you’ve done it too, I see.
Have you heard about the latest rage: anthologies—you know, books of single-themed stories by a number of different authors? Palpable-Imaginings has many variations on its theme, including mystery, fantasy, adventure, survival, nightmares and more. If, like me, you like assortment (no, not chocolates) or want to fill in those short pauses in life with an engaging story, check it out.
In this compilation, Palpable Imaginings, eight writers offer 17 stories. Start anywhere: the first story, the middle one or the last.
Variety in small doses works for me. What about you? If you’d like to take a look, have a peek here. (available in print copy only)

Please check out my blog and read my newly posted story. It is very intriguing and i would really love to share it with you. Thanks in advance and dont forget to tell me what you think about it
Reblogged this on How the Cookie Crumbles and commented:
Give me an invitation and I’ll take you up on it. Does that make me easy? This is just a little tidbit.
Thanks again for your post. Kevin
I make doodles to represent a ‘mood’ or a feeling, but
unlike a smile when I send out a comment. How are these transcribed back to you?
I started to add my signature caricature here and then wondered if you would get it in any way.
The version of my screen reading software, Job Access With Speech or Jaws (like the infamous shark) does not translate smiley faces etc. I am using Jaws 11 but, I believe the latest version (Jaws 15) does interpret emoticons. Appple products, such as the iPad do a good job of interpreting them. Having said that I can quite often guess correctly what the doodle or emoticon is (well I think I can)! A work colleague sometimes puts (smiley face) in brackets when sending a humorous e-mail to me. Thanks for asking. Kevin
It’s become a habit adding emoticons and I wondered if your software translated them for you Thank you for your response.
I really appreciate the writing on “Let’s Cut The Crap” and am happy to see Tess featured here. 🙂
