There’s a Spider in the Bathroom | Storyteller
https://mjbelko.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/theres-a-spider-in-the-bathroom
Author of Winthrop Risk, Detective-The Mystery of the Missing Hamster on Amazon and Kindle. There’s a Spider in the Bathroom. I noticed it this morning before my shower. It’s sitting up by the ceiling, above the medicine cabinet. About the side of a nickel (counting the legs). It’s a white spider, which my mother-in-law claims is the sign of a clean house. Join me in a guffaw. That’s our system. I can think of no other logical explanation. I had a writing point. What was it? If I sit on a story while wai...

Wreck in Progress | Storyteller
https://mjbelko.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/wreck-in-progress
Author of Winthrop Risk, Detective-The Mystery of the Missing Hamster on Amazon and Kindle. Yes, I’m coining a new phrase. WIP now stands for “wreck in progress”. I pulled out the file for a story I put aside last summer. Its appalling state of confusion prompted me to label it a WIP. Still, my distance from the project gave me some perspective on what can stay and what needs to be put down as mercifully as possible. This will involve rum. Lots of it. She Did Her Best. Black Cats and Good Luck. On A Writ...

George Fripley – Author. George Fripley is a writer, satirist, and poet. Five Poems from Silence…. Five Poems from Silence…. Warm and sunny afternoons. Are made for doing nothing,. Don’t worry about the washing or. Get out and prune the roses,. Just enjoy the afternoon. And feel the warmth of sun on skin,. And feel the gentle, cooling breeze,. That rustles through the uncut grass,. That hides the fences peeling paint,. That frames the weeds between the roses,. Every few years we get the chance,. And pond...

Author of Winthrop Risk, Detective-The Mystery of the Missing Hamster on Amazon and Kindle. Time for a little shameless promotion. I wrote this mini-mystery for kids who are outgrowing picture books but aren’t ready for a full-blown novel. Four entertaining chapters of mystery, the school bully, loyalty, and finding out who your friends are. Available on Amazon and Kindle. And don’t forget to write a review! Why Writing is Hard. Here’s a wonderful bit of encouragement for all of us. A Writer's Path.

Black Cats and Good Luck | Storyteller
https://mjbelko.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/black-cats-and-good-luck
Author of Winthrop Risk, Detective-The Mystery of the Missing Hamster on Amazon and Kindle. Black Cats and Good Luck. Wow Two months since my last entry. Sorry, but things got worse instead of better. Long story. Boy, was he pissed. That’s the name of Russell Crowe’s outlaw character in “3:10 to Yuma”. Ben Wade was very hard to catch and even harder to keep in custody. He wore a black hat, of course. The name seemed to fit my new friend. So say hello to my new muse. OK, I’ve Been Neglecting You. He’...
