A Lover’s Dwelling

a lover's dwelling

In matters of love, do you follow your heart or follow your brain?

 

I’ve written a new piece for my next planned book (tentatively titled Dialogues: a Collection of Creative Conversations). You can read featured dialogues and links to available dialogues on Randal’s Medium series. The option to follow as a series can be done for mobile users with the Medium.com app. Update: you can now read on computers too.

Baby Who

Baby Who

Klavdiya: We should call the police.

Galina: No. Think about how bad that will look.

Klavdiya: But we need help looking.

Galina: Our jobs are on the line, Klavdiya. I know that this isn’t where you want to be, but this is my career. And I’m not going to lose it because we lost our cool and called the police.

Klavdiya: We should call the police because we lost a baby.

Paragraph Break 1

Wonder where the baby went to? Well, if you do, keep following because this piece is a part of my next planned book: Dialogues: a Collection of Creative Conversations. #workingtitle

Standoff with Bigfoot Deep in the Remote Woods

Callout47

This week’s dialogue is Standoff with Bigfoot Deep in the Remote Woods. ]

This piece is a part of my weekly challenge to write one dialogue a week for all of 2018. This one is fairly experimental with no breaks between the words of the bigfoot character. Don’t know if I’ll seek a publisher for this crazy little piece, but it’ll be in the book once I find a publisher after the year’s end.

 

Happy monster hunting, bookworms.

Standoff with Bigfoot Deep in the Remote Woods by Randal Eldon Greene

Colonizer

A drunk professor decides to verbally colonize her male graduate student in this new creative conversation from Randal Eldon Greene’s Dialogues.

This story is a part of my 2018 challenge: Write one story-in-dialogue a week all this year. Hopefully it gets published separately in some magazine, zine, or wherever so you can see it soon.

88 “Spice Up Your Date” Shimmer Palette

888 "Spice Up Your Date" Shimmer Palette

its a fucking rainbow on your face!

First GOOD NEWS, you can now read all Medium.com series without an app. This last Saturday when I posted about To Get to the Other Side this was not the case. Today, when I listed 88 “Spice Up Your Date” Shimmer Palette, it took me to an option to read the series in a web browser.

Note: some web browsers will ask that you “read on a larger screen” when it comes to series. This is an EASY FIX. Simply zoom out a bit, or you can go full screen. Either option works. F11 on most PC keyboards is a great shortcut for going full screen and back. Hitting the control (Ctrl) key while using the scroll wheel on your mouse is the easiest method for zooming in and out (assuming you have a mouse and it has a scroll wheel).You can always read the series on your phone by using the Medium app.

So, if you haven’t keep updated about dialogue series via Medium because of the previous mobile app requirement, please please please check it out.


Q: Why the hell did I write a story called 88 “Spice Up Your Date” Shimmer Palette?
A: Because I was inspired by the blogging-form of literature known as “the product review.” This story is a commentary on that and also delves into the deeper meaning of happiness in life.

If you still can’t get the app or Medium.com series to load up, I did make this story available as a regular article on Medium. Feel free to visit, read, and clap. Thanks.

To Get to the Other Side

To Get to the Other Side

To Get to the Other Side is a story about radical movements, martyrdom, and infighting. This is a part of my 2018 challenge: write one story totally in dialogue every week of 2018. Keep posted for more news and notifications when individual pieces get published.

Everything in Its Right Place

Everything in Its Right Place

Everything in Its Right Place is the latest addition listed to the tentatively titled, Dialogues: a Collection of Creative Conversations.

Everything in Its Right Place is a conversation about putting things away. Or maybe it’s a comic short story about feigning interest while truly trying to really get what it is the other person is so worked up about.

Expire

Expire - Dialogue - Short Story

The first story for my 2018 challenge has been listed. Expire explores the difficulty of conversation, conveying meaning, and comprehension. It’s a fitting first piece, as the general theme of Expire will be explored if not explicitly then implicitly through the very form of dialogues themselves. Thanks for following me on this journey as I write this dialogue series. Whether you follow the blog or follow on Medium*, I appreciate all the support, claps, and likes.

2018 Dialogue Series Challenge

Callout40

Hey, bookworms! Thanks for being here. Today is a pretty important day, as I’m announcing the start of my 2018 writing challenge—write one story a week using only dialogue. The working title is Dialogues: a Collection of Creative Conversations. Please subscribe here to stay notified whenever the next one is listed as written! Or follow Medium where I’ll be updating my progress via a series.

What is a dialogue? That’s a great question. It’s what Plato and Cicero wrote. . .except that’s not what I’m writing. You could call these dialogue-style short stories. They’re different, fun, and most of them are short. The first dialogue is scheduled to be written and ready by next week. The intro to my series was posted today. I go into more depth about dialogues on Medium.

Outside of my weekly dialogues, I’m still writing that darned novel. I’ve also got some short stories flapping around inside my cranium, so I suppose I’ll need to keep penning those out, if only for a bit of of silence. Let me know what your 2018 writing goals are in the comments below.
