Sasha

Sasha: I think my off the wall sense of humor has returned... at least I hope that is what it is.

Sasha: I haven't been able to write a true Ramble for quite some time. My ability to see the humor around me had disapated and left me unable to see anything humorous. I hope this malady doesn't last much longer....I love humor and apparently some of you do too.

Sasha: Clearly one of the most talented writers on this site and a man with a terrific sense of humor. I love his dark side and ability to make us shiver with fear and to also laugh. He will be missed by all of us who loved him.

Sasha: I always forget to check my portfolio page and too often miss comments from my friends. Chalk it up to old age, I always use age as an excuse for not paying more attention to things I should. Sorry.

Sasha: Sasha lives in Mazatlan, Mexico and has no plans to return to the US. Her life in Mazatlan provides an endless supply of subjects for her Smurphy Rambles. My favorite writers are Mastery also a dear friend, he is a talented poet and writes superb mysteries that keep you glued to the page from beginning to end, Ernest Hemingway, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Mark Twain, Dean Kuch, Jay Squires are also among my favorites. I am not a poet but I do enjoy reading it.

FanStory wrote to Sasha: Congratulations! Just Tell me Why Pt 3 is the new Story of the Month!

Sasha: How sad when an honest review of someone's writing results in being muted. I guess, honesty is not what some writers are looking for on this site. They apparently only want positive comments. and nothing less than 5 or 6 stars, even when their writing needs improvement. Yes, this is very sad.

Sasha: I am pleased to learn Ingrid and I tied for second place in the fun first of the year FS contest for short stories. I cannot think of a better person to share this with than dear Ingrid. If you have not read her work (she writes under the name Spiritual Echo) you have no idea of what you have missed.

Sasha: I am scheduled for my surgery the last week of May or the first week of June, so I hope to be posting again within a week or two after the surgery.

Sasha: After breaking my ribs, I have been off site for quite some time. They have not healed properly but I think I can finally say I am back. I apologize to the many members that I was not able to review but hope to keep up and not miss any more.

Sasha: Thank you so very much. I am deeply honored to be the number one Short Work Writer of 2015, especially with so many talented writers here on FS.

Sasha: I am still recuperating from my broken ribs. Take my word for it, you NEVER want to break a rib. The only thing humorous about this is that my doctors are all arguing about how many I broke. One said only one, another said 4-5, and the trauma specialist said 8 (9 including the one in the front). Personally, I don't care how many, all I know is that it really hurts and takes far to long to heal. I am spending most of my time in bed and have to wear a special brace to keep from doing any further harm. My doctor says it will take up to 8 more weeks before I begin to feel any improvement. Eight weeks is a long time, but it is out of my hands.

Sasha: I just wanted to let you know I am taking about a week off. I learned I have an infection in my leg from when I fell and I have to have it drained and have to stay off it for several days so it can heal properly. I have had so many tests the past few days and they fear the infection has gone into the bone. Not good but not life threatening. I'll be back as soon as I can put pressure on my leg. I will do a little reviewing from my laptop while I am in bed and hopefully be able to post the next chapter of Where is Sally too.

Sasha: After re-editing it for the tenth time, I have just published, Celebrate the Dandelions on Smashwords.com in e book form. It is a great site and I highly recommend it to everyone. The price is 5.99 and you can read 20 percent free before deciding to purchase it. You need to go to the website Smashwords.com sign in then click the 'adult content' icon. Then go to the top of the page and in the search section, type in Celebrate the Dandelions and my page should then pop up.

Sasha: This is my recent art assignment. No one said it had to be serious. I am supposed to be sad and if you look close, you can see two tiny little tears. This one definitely qualifies for the caricature definition: a picture, description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect...I stayed with the 5 color rule and used yellow, red, blue, white and black. By mixing some, I was also able to add orange, green and two shades of red...best photo I could get, I am definitely not a photographer.
