Fisherman's and a Quarry

I've loved to write since I was very, very young. It's taken numerous forms - from stories to poetry to the blogosphere. I find now, more and more, my writing's coming full circle as I'm interested in writing stories again. A book is rather ambitious for me right now (even if there is one or two of them stuck in my head and half written out), but a fun series of short stories is right up my alley.

So, go check out my new site Fictition. There, you can see my latest effort, which I'm calling The Invulnerable Man. In it, not only am I including short and sweet 'episodes,' I'm also doing all of my own art. It's sort of inspired by graphic novels, just not a graphic novel at all.

I'm not going for high art, just fun and excitement. I hope you all enjoy it.

Read parts 1, 2 and 3.

Did anyone know there's a food pantry run out of Swampscott? One runs out of the basement of St. John's on Humphrey St. As with larger pantries and kitchens like My Brothers Table, it's open to anyone who has needs and operates out of the generosity of the community.

It's sad to admit, but Swampscott has a problem with hunger. We'd like to think we're immune to something like this, but there's a lot of people who have lost jobs, on fixed incomes or are otherwise struggling who are having trouble putting food on the table.

The Swampscott Town Democrats, of which I am a member, is sponsiring a food drive for the pantry for this entire month. We're collecting canned goods at the library. So if anyone has some extra cans laying around and isn't using them, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps.
