Typed | That Green Dot


‘I hate that fucking green dot.’ she thought to herself. ‘The dot that glares at me, tells me you are online. The one that once upon a time meant hours of conversations. Hours of smiles and laughs. A bright spot on a cloudy day. Now, it just means nothing more than silence.’


Sometimes she could ignore that green light. She tried. Every day she tried. 


Tonight was hard as she sat there, staring at that little green light for hours in the darkness. She wanted to reach out. But she knew the end result of that. She knew it would be nothing more than politeness. Honestly, that was worse than the silence.


So, she watched that green dot. ‘I really miss him,’ she thought. ‘Maybe one day I won’t.


But tonight, tonight it surrounds me with darkness and takes my breath away.’

But, I know I need to. It has to be done. 

Happy to Report: She Writes Things - Anthology Update

  I tell you what.... time sure has flown by since my last post. I don't even know how that happened. But I do know the anthology isn't ready yet.  I have removed all of the separate works (books) from the retailer's sites. I had to wait a period for all of those to be removed and am happy to report that they are all gone.  That was important because if I were to have those lingering and tried to upload the anthology, the retailers, Amazon especially, would ping me for duplicate and/or plagiarized content, and it would turn into this giant headache. While I have all of my documents in Word and saved to an external hard drive and on the cloud, I put them all into one large Google Doc. Easy for me to edit and work on using whatever device I wanted.  Well, with a document that long, my s pell checker and Grammarly were playing very ugly with each other, and it was slowing down the typing and editing process, causing a large amount of frustration.  I then decided to...
