Hello you naughty girls and boys! This is just something fun I did a while back and I thought you might find it interesting. This isn't an in depth look at word count and what to or not to do, but it is an example of cutting or adding words. I hope you find it interesting. If you provide feedback, I'd love to hear which version is your favorite. ***** Lo...
Charlotte would admit, in hindsight, that it had been a reckless bet to make, especially when her friends started to escalate the forfeits. She couldn't even use the excuse that she was drunk as she was driving home from the party so hadn't touched a drop. She'd always been pleased with herself – a confident, beautiful 19-year old girl with soft, mostly natu...

This story is the second chapter two my earlier story "A High School Bet" which can be found in "First Time". Although this story works ok as a stand alone story it may help to have read my other story first. *** Jesse Sinclair felt slightly awkward and worried. He'd made a bet and lost and now he had to face the forfeit dreamt up by his kinky twin sister...
"Thanks for the invite," I said as I looked around at the large room. There were many people gathered for my friend's sister's reception. I call him my friend loosely as we had only recently reconnected through social media, and by recent, I mean like a few days ago. "No problem, Turbo," Ted said as he smiled at me. "That was ages ago," I said, shaking my...
Here is the other version of Rita's Bet that I had mentioned I was working on. When I had first though about the premise for Rita's Bet I was undecided about where to take the story. There were two possibilities that appealed to me. While writing the first idea (published as Rita's Bet) I decided to write the second premise too when I finished, and this is t...
It had been a brutal year. No... I'm not using that figuratively. I'm not trying to gain empathy with hyperbole. It was, literally, a brutal year. (Can you tell I'm an English teacher?) Something was in the water and I'd stopped more fights (physical, verbal, you name it) than I cared to count, winding up with a food-throwing free-for-all on the last day (wh...
Life is full of the unforeseen—twists and turns and ironies that crop up when we least expect it. What happened to me recently underscores the point. First, let me take you back, way back to the late fall of 1965 at a place called the Baltimore Civic Center and a rock group called the Rolling Stones. The Stones were on their second American tour that Novemb...
Advice Columnist My name is Susie O'Connell. Near the end of my first semester at the local community college my English teacher, Ms. Richards, asked me to stay after class. A girl came in and Ms. Richards introduced her as Darlene White, the editor of the school paper. Darlene told me that the paper needed an advice columnist and that I had been recommende...
Introduction As a school teacher at an elementary school in a well-to-do neighborhood, Allison had always felt lucky to be able to do something she loved and have a work schedule that allowed her plenty of time to enjoy herself and, when the time was right, plenty of time to raise her own children. In fact, the only problem initially had been the lack of o...
