Following the Pen...

Following the pen is the best way I have found to describe what I love about writing.

I come up with an idea, a concept, but not necessarily have an end state in mind. I just start with that concept and build from there following the pen to see where it takes me. I enjoy letting the pen lead and I make sure I don't hinder its path to let its most creative ink flow.

I wanted to come up with a fast and easy way for someone to read a selection and provide their thoughts and feedback.  I value your, the reader's, time so have made it fast and easy, please review the 5 minute process below...

1. Scroll down to read each brief story behind the story. (less than a minute)
2. Click the accompanying image to read the digital short (opens in a separate window and takes 3 minutes tops to read)
3. Back at the website's window, click the Rate Your Read button and fill out the completely optional and short form. If you are in a hurry, ignore all input fields and simply select your rating in the corresponding drop-down and submit...(less than a minute)

If you have a minute, share your thoughts, questions and/or ideas on what you read.

Best Regards,

Please show me your wings

Two thought threads were sewn together to come up with this one. First, the concept of someone being "saved" by another, thus assuming the other to be an angel, then longing for proof.

The second thread, the cable downing Hell's elevator, manned by none other than Dante Alighieri.

Fortuitous for two of us

Inspired by just another play on words...similar to "...'til ravens wane." and "'...til rAveNswAn," "Forlorn for Lauren" or "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...Fill'd with death, ya pens'll hang ya."

I like finding words you can almost lay over each other and in a twisted and muffled way, they sound the same.

Adaeda

In my thus far pathetic efforts to learn to play guitar, I came across a series of guitar chords, A, D, A, E, D and A, that form a basic blues guitar riff.

To me, it sounded like a woman's name, Adaeda, and naturally, she has the blues.
