From the Desk of Christopher Duncan

Welcome to the calmer place in my mind. My Ramblings, life, thoughts on writing, and whatever other drivel I can think of wasting your time with.

Peace.  -CD

A tip I should already know, yet decided to ignore…

We've all done it. Created a work of such beauty that we sit and day dream of the accolades that will start to pour through our mail boxes. Such poetry of words we nearly cry just editing it.  Then we hit submit.......   Then that rush of WTF?? WTFFF just...

Thanksgiving and other rambling crap

November 28th just another day for most of the world, unless you live in America. Today in the USA is Thanksgiving day, a day for the family to come together and be thankful for what they have in this life, well for many they still do that, for most it is now a reason...

Dark side of the moon

Just what do you think…? When the light dies at night… When the voices go from clatter to whispers… The moons shadow casts her scowl across your room.. She loves you, you know… As you huddle in your blankets, hating her.. It’s your mind that created the hate, your...
