Status Updates From Places in the World a Woman...

The story was sliced out of something it didn't quite get to. It isn't enough for me to find a story set-up, a "situation" my writing partner and I called it It needs to go someplace.

But, reading "How Many Boys" and the serial failure of appliances made me smile, because that's happened to me and I used it in a story too.

I am not loving these stories, but I have liked a couple so far.

a couple of "slice of life" stories

"Patriotic" was excellent.

The first two stories did nothing, but I kind of loved "Chickens." It's rare to read a story that does justice to an animal.
