Reltney McFee: Blog

So, there I was, living large, and (occasionally) puttering away at writing one of several stories that I have at sort of a (very) low boil.....

Pro Tip: If you think/write like I do, it is unhelpful having more than one story in progress at one time. My efforts get so diluted, that no one story really makes a lot of progress. (BTW, this tip assumes that I am any sort of pro, so, there is that to consider, as well)

In any event, I had heard a song (Hardy: "Signed, Sober You")that inspired yet ANOTHER tangent, yet another story stub-in-progress. It had occurred to me that it might be interesting if someone with knowledge of my future self could contact me, and shine some light upon some of my poor life choices, perhaps I would straighten myself up.

Sort of like Hardy's protagonist in "Signed, Sober Me".

I imagined this to be some generations off descendent, who by some Majick would/could personally confront me.

It has been while picking at that story, that I encountered the story, "The Time Traveler's Baby Daddy" (the colored text is the link, I think!)



Until I get something completed and posted, I encourage one and all to read this tale, and enjoy it. I have it in my library here on SOL, now!

I just noticed that for most of my stories, comments had been disabled. Well, NOW comments are enabled. If you have a mind to (re) read my submissions, well, welcome aboard!

If you would rather not, well, as you prefer. In either event, have a pleasant day/weekend!

I have received 7 replies to my last blog post, so that likely means (if 20% of folks achieve 80 percent of the results) that it is likely that around 35 readers have made donations of time, effort, money, or (for some) all of the above, to some charity.

For most, I suspect, that is their routine. For perhaps a few, that post was a spur to action.

For all of you (us), thank you. Reaching out to help your (our) neighbor is righteous, and blesses the recipient, the giver, and all of us who bask in that glow of neighborliness and compassion.

Merry Christmas!

Dear Readers: Howzabout a challenge of sorts? I wonder how many readers frequent this site? I wonder how many of us have a few bucks, not already spent? Or, if spent, maybe could be redirected from a bought-my-lunch-at-work, to brought-my-lunch-to-work? I wonder how many could/would donate, say $10 to St, Jude's Children's Hospital in the next month?

How much good might that donation do?

December is a three paycheck month for me. I'm donating. Who's with me?

Thank you, everybody who has read Break Up, so far. It *IS* complete, and I anticipate an every Friday posting schedule, which assumes that I do not foul the submit-now-post-later feature of the website.

I welcome fawning adoration, in the comments, as well as thoughtful criticism. This latter DOES include typo alerts.

It's sunshining and 70 here in Flyover Country, and I'm going to enjoy me some sunshine. Hope y'all have a pleasant day!
