Kappa Tracks

"A story is made up of words and characters. Are the words well chosen and do the characters live? All the rest is literary gossip."

My six decade love affair with the English language compels me to offer a list of authors whose work meets my critical standards. The single criterion operant is the quality of the prose as composed by the writers. I have made no discrimination whatsoever as to subject matter, theme, or plot.

Therefore be warned!

A great many of the works here listed may involve themes or subjects repugnant to some readers. I can only advise that if a particular story cannot be stomached, go on to the next; you will find at least a few to be to your taste.

Since you asked....


1.) Seeing three year old grandson in
his Hallowe'en costume---
"And what are you supposed to be?"
********
"You're a WHAT??!"
Grandson had his 18th birthday this year.
2.)Flew across country to Boston, thence by
bus to Portsmouth,N.H. for 'TURTLECON'--
August, 1992.
3.) Son: "Mom, this is a laptop computer--let me
show you how to use it.." (July, 2005)
4.) Grandson: "I like this story you wrote, Grandma--hey, do you
know about the fan fiction site on the internet?"(Nov.2005)
Grandma: "Fanfiction??! what's that?"
------
And that's all she wrote...

Oh, god, this is so sweet :>

So, technically, you are blaming your grandson both for your TMNT love and your discovery of fanfiction???

...

Neat. I want a grandson like yours. Eventually.

Okay, now I get it too! The photo helps to fill in a few of the blanks .... Now if you could just combine your interest in TMNT with your Carpenter Ant invasion you could be rich! Just saying.
