Are we rebels?
07.21.11
I may have said this before, but writers are isolative people. Ask me to show you a good time, and I’ll show you my laptop, rocker-recliner, and a fresh cup of coffee. You want more details? All right – Pandora Radio (the paid version), an open MS Word document, and a story blasting into my head out of the ether so fast that, even typing 120 words per minute, I can’t keep up. We’re talking nirvana here, folks, it doesn’t get any better than this.
And yet I also consort with a group of people who have a tendency to say, “Screw it, let’s ride!”

My Fifteen Minutes - a short story
Okay, my first self-published short story is now on Smashwords, retail price $0.99. It is, I hope, poignant. It is not erotic. Safe for all readers! Click the title link to buy. Enjoy! Oh, it's a little over 8,000 words, which is approximately 15 pages.
When Colton arrives to pick up Brady, Michelle's fifteen minutes closeted with a star are over, but will she ever give up her obsession with Gay Paradise?
by SM Johnson
Michelle is a big-time fan of the groundbreaking cable TV drama, Gay Paradise. When Brady, one of the lead actors on Gay Paradise, attempts to kill himself by overdosing on sleeping pills, he gets admitted to the psychiatric unit where Michelle is a nurse.
Meeting Brady might be the most exciting thing that's ever happened to Michelle. Her job is to help him create a safety plan for when he leaves the hospital, but all she really wants to talk about is Brady's incredibly hot co-star, Colton.

Pushing Limits
Welcome to TMC, the Time Machine Challenge! Oh, no, wait. Never mind.
Welcome to Thursday Morning Coffee!
Whew. That’s better. Scared myself for a second. Thought I was heading into Sci-Fi territory and was going to have to stretch the limits of my imagination. But no, that’s later this month. THIS is just our weekly coffee chat. Er, monologue.
I am, however, going to talk about limits. About “The Line.'”
Just where the heck is that line, anyway?
