Ghost Light (to be continued…)

The two sat at the very end of the first row bathed in the faint wash of the ghost light. Read more

Your very own blog?

Do you want a place of your own on the blo­gos­phere to post your thoughts were peo­ple will actu­ally read them? Are you tired of the hun­dreds of easy-to-use, free blog­ging ser­vices out there? Are you just pin­ing for some­thing a lit­tle bit out of the main­stream, as it were? Well, if you are, then con­sider a blog at the Cre­ative Nudge. Read more

Dreaming of “Star Trek” and Frankenstein’s monster

When I was a kid, I used to creep out of my bed­room, through the kitchen, and into the din­ing room, where I would hide under the table and illic­itly watch what­ever tele­vi­sion pro­gram my father was watch­ing. Inevitably, he would catch me and send me back to bed. This habit pro­voked one of the most mem­o­rable dreams I have ever had in my life. Read more

Read This

The Fall 2008 issue of Mon­tana State University’s lit­er­a­ture and arts mag­a­zine has been pub­lished! Thirty-two beau­ti­ful pages of poetry, prose and pic­tures free for the enjoy­ing all across the Boze­man area. It is not pub­lished online as I write this, but I sus­pect it will be up on the Read This page very soon. Read more

It works!

Okay every­body, the Con­sor­tium Web site seems to be work­ing, as far as I can tell. All the lit­tle giz­mos and doo-dads are all chug­ging along, direct­ing infor­ma­tion to the right spot and dis­play­ing just what they ought. I know things look a tad empty right now, but trust me, when you guys start fill­ing this site with your inspired con­tent, it will work like a charm. Oh, and if you have any ques­tions about the way the site works, please don’t hes­i­tate to use the feed­back link at the bot­tom of any page.

Crossing the steams

I love Ghost­busters. I have since I was a kid, rolling around in the back of my par­ents’ hatch­back — sans car seat because it was rural Mon­tana in 1984, you know — and lis­ten­ing to Ray Parker Jr. sing “Ghost­busters” on the radio, silently com­mit­ting the words to eter­nal mem­ory.

October’s Nudge

Ghosts!

Spooky ghosts, help­ful ghosts, ghosts in your past, the sci­ence of ghosts, ghost pho­tog­ra­phy, ghost cos­tumes, your dis­be­lief in them, your belief in them, your expe­ri­ences with them, or any­thing else you can come up with.

As promised, this is a broad topic designed to give you a nudge. 

Now, get creative!
