In 1976 Stephen King’s Carrie came to life on the big screen, only two years after the novel had been released. It was history in the making, a horror film that would go on to be played every year around this time in many households. Although the hardback only sold 13,000 copies in the first…
A problem has been brewing in my household. It may be slightly related to the lack of banana stock. Yeah… it’s pointless trying to keep them in ample supply with the minion infestation we have on our hands. The situation exploded in the past couple of weeks. The heart of the problem―The Grass Is Greener…
Nothing pulls me free from two weeks of migraine pain better than a swift smack from Thor’s hammer. (Excuse me if this posts rambles a bit. It’s coming right off the cuff, with the kids at my side, begging for attention.) There I was, minding my own business, curled up in my own little misery…
Born and raised in Southern California Disneyland was always a popular family destination. My father would make a point of taking us there once a year. We would arrive when the gates opened and stay until the park closed down for the night. I have to give props to my parents for their strength and…
It’s been a while since I’ve participated in the Friday Fictioneers Challenge. The objective is to write a 100 word story based on the photo prompt provided. Today’s photo was provided by Claire Fuller. Gram’s Library Nick pulled books from the shelf and dropped them into the box behind him. “Gram said the books were…
What do you do when all your commitments weigh on you, yet your body decides it’s time to shut down? That’s exactly what happened to me this week, and it has thrown my whole schedule out of whack. It doesn’t matter what your profession is or isn’t, we all have daily obligations nagging at us like toddlers with…
A Gorgan. The name derives from an ancient Greek word meaning dreadful. It’s an appropriate description for Medusa and her kind. They’re ugly creatures with slithering snakes for hair, who can turn anyone to stone at a glance. A fun topic for #ImmortalMonday. Medusa the Monster Not that long ago I was reading a great…
Let’s face it. Times aren’t what they used to be. It’s a rushed society and our hours dwindle fast. That makes what few minutes we can spare precious, so don’t waste them rambling. I spent a fair amount of time researching a particular topic these past few weeks and was surprised how many sites didn’t have information nicely organized…
History is amazing. When we take the time to look back at some of the stunning accomplishments created through the Ages you have got to wonder if we are truly advancing on all fronts? Ever find yourself curious how the people from these ancient cultures managed to engineer some of these magnificent marvels? Today’s #ImmortalMonday is…
My new domain is up and I’m just working out a few of the bugs. I invite you to check out the new site and sign up for future posts from that location. Starting Monday we’ll bring back Immortal Monday and I hope to blog twice a week from DebraKristi.com, assuming no unforeseen family complications.…
Well, it’s been a crazy week. I’m sure you’ve all had them. When you say you’re going to do certain things and then they just don’t happen. That’s how it’s been. I was lucky enough to attend the fabulous Orange County RWA Chapter meeting last Saturday and listen to the amazing Christine Ashworth and Jessica…
I’m jumping back on the short fiction train. The challenge is to write a story based on the picture prompt and keep it to 100 words. A challenge I take to heart. This fun exercise is something I enjoy and hope to continue. New participants are always welcome. Pop on over and meet our amazing…
