Or perhaps another take on your story about the paleontologists (or were they archaeologists? It's been awhile.) That one might be kinda fun if written from the POV of one of the creatures, like this thing is STALKING them.

I'll have to look back at some of my stories to see what changes I can make.<BR/><BR/>Secondly: "I'm sure this parade of stories about women reflecting on past relationships has my writing buddies wondering: is my marriage in shambles?"<BR/><BR/>Isn't it an awful feeling? While I believe that stories are an extension of you as a writer, that only means that they come from past experiences or personal attempts to understand the emotions when you haven't experienced them yourself. They don't reflect who you are. What would it say if some of the horror and crime that I write truly reflected me as a person? I dare say that my wife would divorce me, my family would disown me, and my friends would banish me to the farthest regions of Siberia. Thankfully, everyone is still around. But then, maybe that's only because they can't see everything that spins around in my warped little mind. ;)<BR/><BR/>Good posting.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753736809917062955noreply@blogger.com
