Thanks to Potato Soup Journal for picking up my short story “Always on the Run.” This story was inspired by a line from a song. I’ll leave it at that in case anyone wants to guess the song and artist. One clue: the song is not by my favorite band.
In the Midst of Nothingness
I made a short film in response to Shotgun Players’ “Art in the Time of Corona” challenge. You can see it on YouTube:
The Assignment: You have 48 hours to make a 2-minute (or shorter) film. Include three lines (at least) from any play (I chose “Waiting for Godot”). Incorporate toilet paper (or a mask). Indicate the passing of time. And add ten seconds of motion.
Support local theaters. Support local artists.
Come on Over (Closing Time)
In these times of shelter-in-place, I’ve been thinking back to many of the amazing places RL and I have visited over the years. I look forward to a time when we can return to favorite spots and explore new destinations.
Thanks to John Vanderslice, Crystal Pascucci, and Carly Bond for bringing their talents to this song.
One-Minute Stories on YouTube
Need a distraction? Got a minute? Check out my One-Minute Story channel on YouTube. All of the short-short stories have been performed and posted during the time of Shelter-in-Place due to the Coronavirus.
Stay inside if you can. For those deemed essential, thank you for everything you do.
Floss Your Teeth
I had a couple of requests for more One-Minute Stories … so I’m back. Here’s the first in a series based on the Lockdown. Don’t forget to floss.
Still or Sparkling
Sometimes it takes time for a story to find the right home. That was the case for Still or Sparkling. And it’s one of my favorites. Thanks to Dream Noir for opening their doors to this quirky tale.
Skunk
There’s an abundance of construction happening in our neighborhood. And the critters are out and about. That’s the inspiration for this One-Minute Story.
Orientation
What happens when the perky VP of HR stumbles upon an alien in the breakroom? Find out in my short-short story “Orientation” … published today by 365 Tomorrows.
Fishbowl
Hey everyone. Today’s my birthday!!! I wouldn’t normally broadcast the occasion … but these aren’t normal times, are they? So, for my special day, I’d like to give you another One-Minute Story. This one’s about a bullet … and a Fishbowl.
Shipwreck
With all the craziness in the world, it’s hard to know what to do or even think. But I’m a writer, so I’m compelled to write. Here’s the first of a series of One-Minute Stories. It touches upon the age-old question of which three albums would you choose if you were shipwrecked on a desert island.
