did I miss something?

It's funny that you mention that movie, because it was on TCM last night and we recorded it so that we could watch it today. How about Shelley WInters in Lolita though? She plays that character so ...

The "Twin" Series

I think for me, I like to take what I think about it. It's like art. I don't want the artist to explain it to me. Once he puts it on the canvas and displays it, it's not his anymore. I had several...

How helpful has the "6" concept been to you in developing your writing?

I was just saying that this has been very helpful for me. It's like stretching and practicing before a marathon. I really like the challenge of it too. I think it brings out some very creative thin...

Thanks, CJT, I fixed that. H, you understood that though mistresses often mean other women, and even I alluded to other women, they can also or additionally be other things that men are obsessed enough about to get out of bed for. This could be vi...

The cost of inspiration can never be accurately measured. But the necessity to always be inspired from various moments can never be understated. And when the senses are inspired - and when the senses are deeply made aware, then Laura can be moved ...

This is deep, and I do wonder at how many marriages can relate to this... More than we think I do believe. Great six, the only spot I noticed was When go to bed together, I think it should be When going to bed together, it just caught me off guard...

When I was in college a group of professors formed a band and they'd perform a song very much like this piece. I remember the hook went something like what follows: "She's your lobster ravioli. I'm your macaroni and cheese. She's your [occasional ...

The cover looks great and it feels nice to see a familiar name in a different venue. Looks as if many of us are growing beyond the confines of old 6S, and we all deserve it. Yeah, we do!

Check out the latest issue of Metazen. You might be surprised by who's on the cover. Or you might not be surprised and think, "ah, I knew bigger things were ahead." Either way, it's a great read. Do come one, come all, to the BIG EVENT! http://ww...

Kawfeeee, I have to say, you comment confuses me a bit. I'm not sure what you mean. Could you explain?

I love the twist. I also like how the last three words can change the story with the addition of a comma. Please, don't stop, (could be) please, don't, stop.

It always seems surprising altho it shouldn't that the victim forms a bond with their attacker, and maybe this it the case, but maybe not. You've left it open for interpretation, nice job Ryn

About Me:

While in the Peace Corps, Ryn was ostracized from her small Thai village because her neighbors were convinced she was a witch. If only that snake would have stopped visiting her! After more than twenty years of being told she would never be able to have children, she had two beautiful baby girls in less than two years. She spends many of her daytime hours teaching English at Case Western Reserve University, and all of the rest of her time, inspiring her two little girls, or being inspired by writing at the writers’ workshop she calls “home.”

Reconciling the mistresses

Laura wonders if he insists on doing the laundry because he really likes it, like he says he does, or because he doesn’t want her to see how he dirties his clothes, or is it out of some type of obligation. When they go to bed together, he spoons her, she melts into him and he kisses her head, but just before she falls asleep, he slips out of the mold. Maybe she stays up just a little longer than she normally would just to see if he would quietly exit again. He answers the call of many mistresses… Continue

That night

He held my hands down deep in the mattress, pushing me from every angle, my knees with his knees, my chest with is chest. “Shut up slut, and just take it.” I wanted to yell “no,” but I just laid there trying not to cry out. Fear radiated through my body as he forced himself, thrusting pounding my soft skin into small bruises.

“Please…” I said through my tears of pain and fear. “…Please, don’t stop.”

Ode to William Randolph Hearst

Perusing the local newspapers from January 1926, the week my great-uncle died, took hours and several newspapers before I found the little inch by inch blurb in the midst of stories about Ponzi schemes, the great enemy: Native Americans, mothers poisoning and drowning their children, articles telling girls the importance of keeping their "virtue," and something about that great, up and coming 23 year-old writer Langston Hughes (thank God they didn't know he was gay)!

"An eight year-old school b… Continue

(de)liberation

“I had only been four days in Iraq” Jamie began, “when I was walking back to my barracks one night and was suddenly surprised by a group of guys surrounding me saying things like, ‘I’m getting’ a piece of that…we’re ALL getting a piece of that, aren’t we?’ I wanted to laugh it off and just keep walking because they had to just be messing around, and I kept thinking that until I was pinned on the ground as each man took his ugly turn while the rest were holding me down and egging him on until I f… Continue

Quick Wit

Every day when the Morrisons sat down to dinner, Mrs. Morrison would ask each child what they learned that day. What they learned could have been anything as long as it was authentic, it was an acceptable answer.

"So, Jenna," Mrs. Morrison started while passing the peas, "what did you learn today?

"I learned that if a boy likes you you, he pulls your hair or pushes you, isn't that stupid mommy?"

Mrs. Morrison smiled knowingly and then turned to Patrick, "and what did you learn today?"

Patric… Continue

Medical Wisdom

"Your baby has jaundice and she's underweight, we need to pork her up," the doctor said at our first visit, "you will need to bring her in every week and make sure she gains at least an ounce a day."

"First of all," I said, "that's her color, and secondly, she is following the exact same weight pattern that I did."

Then my husband came into the room and she said, "Oh, maybe that is her color...but you still need to bring her in every week to get weighed."

So we did, and every week she… Continue

Thinking outside

It's little known on the outside that teachers don't often call each other by their first names --even off hours, so every afternoon Mr. Casey and I would stay a while after the students left and share poetry that we had written, or bring in movies for each other to watch, but sometimes we would just talk and share stories.

Once he told me, "I thought white people invented boxes and they were so important to them that I called them 'box people' when I was younger. On the reservation, my brother… Continue

Ancient Chinese Secret

During our usual discussion about current events and politics as a part of curriculum, a Turkish student had expressed his distaste over the U.S. still continuing wars in two countries that we can never win. One of the Chinese graduate students then said, “Well, at least they are going after a known terrorist like Osama Bin Laden; my country won’t even go after the terrorist The Dalai, and they know where he is.” After I began breathing again, (And thank God there wasn’t any coffee in my mouth)… Continue

benediction

The madam ran her brothel as neatly and efficiently as a doomsday cult with very few but very loyal whores who acted indebted to her for their very livelihood. This tiny village in the middle of the undeveloped Western desert had a church and a general store which only had visitors out of necessity, including Sunday morning. The real congregation spent their social time, and their intimate times in the madam’s brothel –or the one just like it right across the street that ran as neat and efficien… Continue
