Wolverine's mom

I finally figured out a way (not necessarily a good way, but a way) to explain his hair. I decided in my AU that he has a habit of running his fingers thru his hair, twisting a bit as he pulls them out of the wavy mass. When he is extremely upset, he grabs both sides and yanks the hair. I mean, he's...

this coffee tastes astounding!

If you need a laugh, I hope my experience today will provide the basis for a chuckle. I was looking through the soft book I'd bought for my grandson who's turning 2 this weekend. It is shaped like a dumptruck and tells about construction, with names by many of the objects and people. In the middle p...

Anyone attempting NaNoWriMo 2010?

I had several ideas but even as I was cooking today, rememberd a short story I've tried to write several times without success. Maybe it's crying to be a novel. But I'll prolly stick with the silly scam one. More fun = more inspiration. Sorry to keep editing, but at my age (early 50's, younger than ...

Has Prof X had a sect'y?

Yeah, one of my shortcomings is that I tend to OVER-think any story I write, even short-shorts or flash fiction. It seemed ODD for him to not have someone, though.

I will ponder this as I wash dishes ....

Has Prof X had a sect'y?

As I plot away at the neverending fanfic, it occurs to me that I don't recall seeing ol' Chuckles ever having a secretary. Granted, he's a mega-genius and has all this space-age equipment, blah blah, but even before we all had computers, did he ever have someone to type his notes, keep his secret do...

Intriguing. I'm not so clever at understanding modern comics -- I do better with words than visuals -- but I do like your style, like waves on the ocean, and the sense of drama and surprise.

I think I'll bring a copy of Marvel Adventures to our local writing club meeting tomorrow; one of our speakers once was a kid who illustrates for Marvel. Here's more info. It'd be fun to see p...
