Cursed
the Children's hospital. It was the best hospital in the state;
everyone told Kelsey how the doctors would be able to get her son well.
Still as she stood there, she felt anything but lucky. The cool night
air blew past her making her oily dirty hair fall in strands over her
tear-stained face. She hadn't bathed in days or changed her clothes,
not that it mattered anyway. She had no family and the few friends she
did have, she… Continue

The Anatomy and Creation of a Story Pt. 2
This is an ongoing discussion of the process I use to write short stories…not that there is a set process, as it’s different each time. I started this in “Part One” back on my personal blog, and wanted to continue here to mix up the audience as much as possible.
In part one, I discussed the [...]

“This soap box is not big enough for the both of us.”
I asked readers for topics they would like to see me address in this blog, and I got a slew of great responses, something that will keep me in columns for a few months to come.
Here’s the question that got top billing for [...]
Providence, 1986
Providence, 1986 Wayne Allen Sallee 28 November 2009
I have a road trip, of sorts, ahead of me in a few hours. A zig-zag across the transit system of Chicago. I’m heading up north, but first I have to take the 55th Street bus to an artist friend’s place and drop off a few autographed books. There is [...]
The Ritual of Fine-Tuning My Writing
Most writers I know have rituals. These run the gamut from adjusting their desks a certain way to writing by candlelight to setting a glass of perfectly innocent booze on fire before each writing project as a sacrifice to the Writing Ancestors. They may sound silly, or wasteful (perfectly good booze, after all) or unintuitive, [...]
Thanksgiving
Friends and relatives around he world sing the same song: “We don’t have Thanksgiving here.” Here is New Zealand, South Africa, England, Israel…and on and on. This year, because we are down to three of us—my guardian angel/chef and one friend who lives alone—I stopped to think about what that means.
“We don’t have [...]

I just scanned the IM thingy and saw you were suffering from writer's block. While it's easy to just quote the Oliver Stone equation for writing (ass + seat), here's an old trick my prof taught me.
Get a harsh beverage. Not necessarily your favorite, just harsh. Do a quick shot. (If you don't drink alcohol, something bitter will do)
Then immediately answer this question. There is a thin hallway. At the end of the hallway is all the gold in the world. Jewels. Bundles of cash. All yours.
What is the ONE thing that would be between you and that payoff to make you say 'Screw it! I ain't going down there!'?
Now write your horror story. Don't think. Just write.
Hope that helps!

I am slow getting back to you. I will turn on the torum/groups.
And it's not that I forgot about Valentine's Day. I didn't. I was just waiting to tell you Happy Valentine's Day until the day after so that it'd seem EXTRA special.
Really. ;)
