Oh yeah...looks like every story I have on this fine site known throughout the free world as Stories Space, will now be officially published...OK, I know that's only four...but, just got this back regarding "Maria's Chance To Celebrate"...
Actually, it should be my chance to celebrate...or something like that...

Congrats on this latest acceptance, DM, of one of your stories, that is. ;)
It happened at a church summer camp so it must be true, right? ;)

Oh yeah, I posted some stuff there earlier this year...but not sure it's really worth posting more...they don't seem to get a lot of views...
Someone talked me into posting some stuff on this site as well...but again, not sure it's worth it...
Deep Underground Poetry
http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/
The only poetry sites I've found that get a decent amount of views are Poetry Craze and Got Poetry...and most of my stuff gets more views over here than Got Poetry anyway, but it's probably fairly close...PC generally gets a lot of views though...

I made orange-lemon-lime marmalade today, five jars of it. The colour is sensational, as the preserve glows in the glass pots, rich and jewel bright. The house is deliciously perfumed with the aromatic tang of citrus fruits. The first taste tests are proof that this marmalade is going to be fantastic.
The process is time consuming and there are always moments when I question the effort involved, but at days end, it is definitely worth it, and more will be made in the future.
Breakfast - coffee, toast and home made marmalade. Ah, lovely!

I love her so much.
"In love" wouldn't be a bad way to put it.
Will I ever tell her? Probably not.
Does she know already? No idea.
I'm a lovesick wee Kitty.
I just really want her so much.
To be there, in the moment with her,
To dispel her fears and spend every moment with her...
In perfect peace and harmony.
Is that too much to ask?

"Peppier" is a funny-looking word. In my opinion, rather than "with more pep," "peppier" should be used to describe the waiter who comes around wielding a gargantuan pepper mill and offering "fresh ground pepper" as if it were magic pixie dust.
Thanks to Gypsy and Louise for their contributions to this bit of frivolity.
Pepé, the pretentious, portly peppier with a prominent proboscis, was particularly parsimonious in peppering, his pharaonic phallus producing a paltry portion of the precious provision over my pappardelle pasta.
