Jar Merchant: Branded

IndigoSpider — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:00:56 +0000

This is part of a series of shorts from last year that has since turned into a novel (work in progress) titled “Jar Merchant.” The very first story (found here) was also for a Sunday Picture Press and you can see the original photo that prompted it all. I’ve gathered all the parts together on …

Wednesday Writers Group: WordWang!

Dave — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:33:32 +0000

Greetings fellow wordsmiths! As this is my inaugural WWG post I thought I’d start with a fun exercise from when I was a member of a local writers circle many years ago. But first a reminder about The Daily Writing Log, a Google Doc is still waiting for you! Simply enter your name at the …

Down on Spider Creek

IndigoSpider — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 05:00:23 +0000

Down on spider creek… there, I stand on the left bank, empty, a vessel expecting to be sated but here, on spider creek, the waters are salted shadows quiver along dusted, salted sugar woven salt flats in vain under the sky…. the sky…. the sky of blue Shouting down mountains, squalls of suffering filling empty …

Shadia Alem Short Story: White Trash

IndigoSpider — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:06:14 +0000

A few weeks ago I received a short story from Shadia Alem based on a photograph by Reinfried Marass. She asked me to post it but said it might need some editing as English is not her native language. However, after reading over it several times I decided to post it as is for everyone …

Sunday Picture Press: Second Chance

IndigoSpider — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:00:06 +0000

Another strange week/weekend so Sunday Picture Press is a little late! I haven’t read all the great stories this week so at least I have something to look forward to — make sure you check them out! Shadow by My Words Whisper Love is Free by Filling a Hole In Love with Life… by Out …

8 Ball, Corner Pocket

IndigoSpider — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 02:50:17 +0000

Part One for the romance story I was working on for this weeks Sunday Picture Press. *** The first time I saw him, he was leaning against the wall outside the convenience store. He had one leg bent, his foot pressed against the brick, and his head back as he gulped down a cold bottle …

Welcome to The Town of Tabula Rasa

IndigoSpider — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:50:30 +0000

Welcome to the Town of Tabula Rasa. Let me give you a quick tour — what you see here… well, there… well all around actually is nothing. A blank canvas, an empty town, unpopulated and devoid of landscape. Why is this? Simply because no one has developed, described, lived or created anything in this town …

The New Look and Features

IndigoSpider — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:31:59 +0000

To say I am happy with the revamp that occurred this weekend is an understatement. I am thrilled at all the new features, relieved at the ease of use (both for users and for admins) of the new forums, and thankful that it all worked out smoothly with no borked servers! Yes, I said borked. …

Sunday Picture Press: Romance Twist

IndigoSpider — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:00:46 +0000

No doubt you noticed a new look! When I started Wednesday Writers Group two weeks ago, I also set up a forum for writers. Unfortunately, the set-up was not what I wanted; I found it difficult to navigate and interact. I figured if I was having problems, no doubt others were as well. So, for …
