Just Sayin’ (Blog)

I’m not convinced about ‘blogs’.   Sometimes I think ‘why would anyone want to know what other people are thinking?’   But then, I follow quite a few blogs, and for the most part I find what I read interesting, and at times stimulating, so what does that say about me? And then I wonder, ‘why would anyone think anyone else would want to know what they’re thinking?’  Which says even more about me, I guess.

Aside from that however, there are times when I just want to share something, regardless of who might be picking up on it, or times when I’m writing something that doesn’t fit into the categories that I’ve created for this web-site.  One such category is the Friday Fictioneers, a community writing group centred around Madison Woods at madisonwoods.wordpress.com.  Around the middle of each week Madison posts a photograph as a prompt for members to write a 100 word story (or thereabouts).  On Friday, she posts her story, and members comment, leaving a link to their website where their own story can be found.  Members are encouraged then to visit as many websites as they can to comment.  Sounds like a good idea.  I’m all for instilling a bit of discipline into my writing.  The links to these stories are posted below, with Friday Fictioneers in the title.

Then I discovered 100 Word Stories for Grown Ups, Five Sentence Fiction, Flash Fiction Faction …. and so it goes on.   I’m sure there will be more.  The work written for these groups appears under this page (together with any general blogs I may feel moved to share) can be found by clicking on the links on the index below.

So here goes, I’ll give it a try for a while.   All comments are welcome – well all that are civil or constructive …
