Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: October 2011
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Esquire Magazine is 78 years old. They decided to celebrate by having a writing contest; a 78 word short short story contest. Apparently, Colum McCann, or whoever is vetting for him, didn't like mine. That's cool. I have started a deliciously crazy love/hate relationship with Flash Fiction [a buzz word for short short fiction]. One of my short shorts appeared on Every Day Fiction. Thursday, October 20, 2011. My man, Spike. There w...

Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: December 2011
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Monday, December 12, 2011. The Smell of Cobblestones. On a stroll one day, she had been testy and tired. Pressing on, she had drug him with a hint of urgency through the now familiar colonial streets. Swiftly, they had passed through a half dozen of their favorite plazas, until she had found a stone bench in a dark corner of the Plaza Bolivar. They sat, rested and halfheartedly began to kiss. No tiene sentido pretender en. Tus ojos te delatan. Hugging him gen...

Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: April 2013
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Sunday, April 7, 2013. This post is out of sync with the seasons, but its part of a Creative Challenge my friend Emily and I set up to spur each other on and get our creative juices flowing. This week's theme is "Joy.". A while ago based on the insight of a child. We would all do well to keep such an innocent view of how things should be. Mom found me in the sun porch staring out at the drab night through the expanse of windows; listening to the approaching s...

Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: January 2014
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Monday, January 27, 2014. Stuck at the Traveler's Inn. From a creativity challenge; the theme was 'loss.'. A king sized bed, two chairs, a table, a small fridge and the microwave for a hundred and twenty five bucks a week. He paid four weeks at a time even though he didn't have to. Since he only got a check once a month, it was safer to have his room all paid. They changed the sheets and vacuumed the floor, but the sad air never seemed to circulate. Frank had...

Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: I'm back ...
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2014/02/im-back.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Well, I've decided to return to Blogger as host for my ramblings. As I look to departing aboard Bella. In June, 2015, I am taking a close look at how I want to spend my boat money. Renting cyberspace for my anemic, untraveled, yet untrammelled blogs never made sense, I suppose. I am but a humble traveller, I will act more like it. Cheers and stay tuned. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Secret Other Blog.

Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: Naked Kinky People Needed.
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2015/02/naked-kinky-people-needed.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Naked Kinky People Needed. Despite how cool we think we are, the United States is a bizarrely puritanical and sexually repressed place. Many other countries have much healthier relationships with their own bodies and a much healthier respect for the sexual expression of others. For that reason alone, I am in favor of more nakedness in media. Who gave them any guidance about which is what? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). For po...

Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: Sticky Acrid Dread
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2013/05/sticky-acrid-dread.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Saturday, May 4, 2013. It had been a pretty good day before the voicemail. Tara had been productive at work. Nothing bad, nor overly good, had happened, and now she was home. The kind of day that was as mundane, and as joyful, as a warm breeze in your hair. Besides having to deal with the occasional detail of a bankruptcy and a divorce, life was fine. Hang on I'll get him." The father had said. The abandoned handset collected the familiar sounds of her soon-t...

Todd Townsend's Secret Other Blog: August 2011
http://toddrtownsend.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Writing, rambling and other digital ephemera. Sunday, August 28, 2011. I was actually standing in enemy territory! And looking around, no one else was still back there. Saturday, August 27, 2011. I was digging through my notebooks to find something else, but ran across this strange verse. Its either just an angry poem or the germ of a country song. Not sure how it came out this way exactly, but there's some juicy bits in there. Some food for thought. I never did nothin'. That carried my weight. For posts...
