The new short story, Roasting by an Open Fire, is online. It is a bit sillier than the previous stories. I hope you all enjoy it.

New Short Story - Costa Rican Firewater (aka:Don Juan's Elixir)
http://kens-shorts.blogspot.com/
This is another personal narrative. In 2007, I co-led an educational eco-tour trip to Costa Rica. This story, which again has my daughter as one of the characters, was from one of our stops along the way.

Short Story #2 Posted on Short Story Blog
Read the short stories at: http://kens-shorts.blogspot.com/
The actual title of the blog has changed to "Ken Goree's Short Stories." A friend pointed out to me that she felt a bit strange about signing up for "Ken's Shorts." Oops, I guess I understand that issue.
Well, so far I have met my short story writing resolution, for January. The first story went out on the first, and the second story is ready to go out tomorrow, January 15th.
It is a personal narrative, and a humor piece, all in one. It is a memoir of a camping trip with my daughter, Carly. I reviewed it, and am pretty sure there are no actual lies, though possibly a bit of stretching was involved. Were anyone interested, I have another version that is excessively stretched. I may post it in a few days, though I will not count it as a separate short story, for purposes of meeting my 2-per-month goal. It is a bit childish, so much more appropriate for the sensibilities of the men in the audience.
One-twelfth of the way there, already? This has a much different feel to it than the poetry blog had.

Revising and Editing
Over the week since the "year of poetry" ended, I have been going back to revise and edit my poems. There has been some sighing and a great deal of cringing. Now, as I look back, I wish there had been two of me: the first to do the writing as I did, and another to revise and edit before posting to the blog. Yikes, the messes I am finding!
I feel blessed and thankful for all of the support that I received during the year.
