Accord drabble-a-thon. What is it? 100 drabbles in 100 days, written to raise funds and awareness for a free hospice in Scotland.
A drabble--a term coined from a Monty Python's 1971 "Big Red Book," is a complete story or essay, written in exactly 100 words. (Though some people now include that term for stories from 50 to 1000 words.)
From 22nd July, to 29th October, one 100-word, totally original drabble, written solely by me, will be posted on my Drabble-a-thon blog page--each story written--and posted immediately, each and every day--no stories written in advance.
And still the drabble-a-thon rolls on, nearing the halfway point. I know there's a lot of efforts for Accord, also in memory of Mrs. McDonald, out there, but I do hope that you'll please consider donating even one pound or one dollar, to sponsor my efforts--you can sponsor an individual story, or you can sponsor my efforts in general. You can donate securely, online, at : www.justgiving.com/nbgolash DAY 49 STORY #49 The Long Holiday Agnes and the rest of her group, all followed the tour... Read Full Story

DAY 69 STORY #69 Bill's Narrow Escape The pony galloped full-tilt through sand and sage brush. Its rider bent low in the saddle, an old Army revolver blazing, as arrows whizzed all around him. Buffalo Bill Cody was going to get the mail through, or die trying. Suddenly, Bill had an idea. Sliding the pony to a stop, he turned around. Quickly re... Read Full Story

The bullets were flying overhead, so thick; they actually were stripping the bark from the trees. “Fire that rifle, soldier!” The lieutenant shouted. But there was nothing to fire at---everyone was wisely keeping his head down--except certain young officers. The lieutenant went down, shot through... Read Full Story
Well, i It will have been 30 days of stories, in just a wee bit over an hour. It's been interesting. I'm hoping that the stories aren't too repetitive for my readers. Please feel free to add your comments-good or bad. While I still have a need for sponsors, I do understand that most people have already donated to the many fine efforts on several of the Dr Who fan-sites, which is really awesome, I think--I read that over 5000 pounds (over $10,000) have been raised, which is amazing! www...

Seems like only a short time ago, I had to come up with story # 1--my how time flies...and speaking of time, this story is dedicated to the following people: to Mr. Tennant, and to the memory of his late-mother.
