Here's my entry for Round Seven of National Public Radio's "Three Minute Fiction," concluded November 12. As usual, had to be 600 words or less; this round one character had to come to town and one character had to leave town.

What you’re buying into here are a series of 13 essays I posted as 35 blog entries to my website between the end of 2005 and just before the November 2010 election. Most of the first 32 were published weekly throughout 2006 and are organized around 13 distinct themes; the last three were random, and later. My personal therapy will be your burden--and amusement.

Here's my entry in Round Six of National Public Radio's "Three Minute Fiction," concluded April 3. As usual, had to be 600 words or less; this round one character had to tell a joke and one character had to cry. From the selections, seems the screeners are most fond of self-conscious, first-person exposition--tell, don't show. Cheats the reader, I think; let 'em make up their own minds.

Here's my entry in Round Five of National Public Radio's "Three Minute Fiction," concluded Nov.14. Had to be 600 words or less; had to begin with "Some people swore that the house was haunted;" and had to end with the line, "Nothing was ever the same again after that." Guess Michael Cunningham and the IWW minions don't like spooks with some basis in historical fact...

Could next year’s election be the last authentic one our Republic has? I finished this story in late September 2008, six weeks before the last Presidential election. (I've updated it to include the rise of the Tea Party, the midterm election results, and the GOP nomination follies, to date.) Otherwise… Adult language, situations.
