Drool on the Pillow: 02.08
http://narrowingdown.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Drool on the Pillow. Intense. Like the Circus. 27 February, 2008. It has been a while since I've written straight fiction. And I'm not super happy with this result. I'm obviously a bit rusty. But it's a start, and hopefully it gets better than this. If I'm not happy with it then why did I post it? Hence, this story (and most likely some of the subsequent ones) are like a frumpy picture of me in underwear. I'm not proud of them, but they're an impetus for me to get better. Judge away. I know I am. He neve...

Drool on the Pillow: 03.08
http://narrowingdown.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Drool on the Pillow. Intense. Like the Circus. 28 March, 2008. I haven't forgotten about my last post. I'm still working on it. But I wanted my reader(s)(? To not feel too left out. Fair's fair, this isn't a new piece: It was a writing assignment from College. I had to write a story in under two pages. So it's brief, and maybe a bit confusing. But I like it. And I wanted to post it online. So there. Can you kill a man who is your double? Can you live with yourself after killing yourself? Deposit DNA and ...

Drool on the Pillow: Nowhere to Run to.
http://narrowingdown.blogspot.com/2008/03/nowhere-to-run-to.html
Drool on the Pillow. Intense. Like the Circus. 14 March, 2008. Nowhere to Run to. This story actually goes on for a bit more, but I'm not sure that I like where it's headed. So I'm posting this much. This story is my goal right now. Maybe not to finish it, but to at least figure out a real direction. I doubt if I even know what love is. And that someone else? None other than the international celebrity, Mister Uhru “The People’s Guru”. Mister Uhru was a name created to evoke visions of foreign landscapes...

Karen and Larry's Peace Corps Ukraine 29 Adventure: A Reflection on 2 Years in Ukraine
http://klukraine.blogspot.com/2007/10/reflection-on-2-years-in-ukraine.html
A Reflection on 2 Years in Ukraine. Living here for two years has given me the ability to begin to understand the roots of some cultural behaviors that I would otherwise view from an outsider’s perspective as weird or illogical. Many things can be explained by history, religion, or some other unobservable aspect of Ukrainian life. This experience has also given me a chance to reflect on my own culture in more depth.

Karen and Larry's Peace Corps Ukraine 29 Adventure: Becoming Women
http://klukraine.blogspot.com/2007/11/becoming-women.html
My most interesting conversations and experiences in Ukraine have occurred with the girls who regularly attend my English Club. They are the ones who were self-motivated enough to take time out of their busy schedules to practice English. They even came to our Club during the summer, when they could have been relaxing with their friends. I am becoming the woman I’ve wanted,. Grey at the temples,. Soft body, delighted,. Cracked up by life. With a laugh that’s known bitter,. But, past it, got better,.

Karen and Larry's Peace Corps Ukraine 29 Adventure: writing the book
http://klukraine.blogspot.com/2008/02/writing-book.html
I didn't think I'd ever come back here, but here I am. It's been a while. I just wanted to let you know, all of those still reading, that through a bizarre set of miracles, I'm sending a book proposal for my non-fiction book based on my PC Ukraine experience to an agent in NYC next week. If she likes it, maybe something really exciting will happen. If she doesn't, at least I'll have taken a very important first step. Posted by L Lawson. Congratulations and best wishes on the book deal going through :) ).

Karen and Larry's Peace Corps Ukraine 29 Adventure: Beautiful Northern CA
http://klukraine.blogspot.com/2007/12/beautiful-northern-ca.html
After a week in San Diego visiting my family, we're in northern CA with Larry's family. We took a drive up the coast on Sunday all the way to Brookings, Oregon. It's cooler up here, but just beautiful. It's been so nice to be surrounded by family since returning home. I've especially enjoyed taking part in the holiday traditions we've missed these past 2 years like decorating the Christmas tree and sending out cards. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Hugs and Kisses from Fortuna, CA.
