7 Weeks Challenge
We can't reverse the past 10-and-a-half months of unfulfilled resolutions, but we can make the rest of 2009 count. So let's take this pledge together: I, (your name here), promise to fulfill my writing resolutions for the final 7 weeks of the year.

A NEW EDEN-Chapter Two: A NEW THREAT



Chapter Two

A New Threat

A low-pitch buzz interrupted his train of thought. He reached upward and positioned the visor down over his widespread eyes. When in place he then activated the visor's built in communication system, called a vis/view.

How a freelance writer is asked to be on the reality show Dragon's Den (answer: I wasn't a freelance writer back then)

I was asked to appear on CBC’s Dragons Den (for more info on this, see my previous post). I actually wrote a little article about it for the local paper a few years back, and I will post that excerpt here. Looking back, it wasn’t a very good article, but I wasn’t much of a writer back then. I was into WEBSITES! (As this is from 2007, I will inject future Shelly in brackets wherever I feel necessary)

Within 1 month I had a request from CBC to appear in the den itself. Seized by fear, I asked mys… Continue

A poem of Three Generations

Between the Passionate Shepherd
and the Nymph

To live with thee is not the case
With pleasure prove and fearless face
The shepherd tongue may look like hay
But hills and fields … might move the May.

Though truth thy saiths: grow cold the rocks –
From field to fold time drives the flocks
And nightingale can change to swarm –
From sunny zone the rain must come…

From noisy swarm the honey comes;
From silent snake, the sorry comes.
The youth shall fade and love shall fold
Stepper on… Continue
