Wasted Words

I thought I would pass along this link for free online writing courses.  I am sure a few of you have seen it, but in that case it bears repeating.  There is even a class at Purdue on proof reading!  These will definately make it into the next GeekFic writing guide, but it will be awhile before that sees the light of day.

And since I'm posting, I though I'd mention that I am still collecting cards and pictures for the Writer Appreciation Project over at YTDaW.  You can read my post here if you don't know what I'm talking about.  But basically, you can send me a photo of you, your dog, your hometown...whatever, and a message of support for the writers, and I'll put it in a giant book and mail it off on Valentine's Day.  Hopefully we'll be able to use this as a "welome home" gift insted of a "buck up little strikers" gift!

YTDAW is raising money for CASA in Jorja's honor!

Anyone heard about Blackle.com?

It's a search engine with a black background page instead of a white one.  I just read about it in my new Vegetarian Times...by setting your home page to Blackle instead of a search engine like google, you can save up to 750 mega watt-hours a year.  Every little bit helps!

Discovery

"Griss, it's just a cut." She tried to tug her hand away.

His heartbeat quickened as he stared at the darkening crimson line on her palm. It was funny, he thought, the little things that shook you up. He'd seen her put her life on the line, watched someone try to take it from her, but it never occurred to him that a broken wine glass would be his undoing.

"I love you." Looking into her eyes, he knew his discovery wasn't news to her. She smiled, and he realized his heart had been hers for a very long time.
