Another Writer Joins Us

This week, Wade Peterson and I were joined by our good friend Nikki Kallio on our short story blog, Black Coffee Fiction at  http://blackcoffeefiction.blogspot.com 


Nikki is a journalist, a fiction writer, an editor and a teacher.  She excels at all her occupations.  We met her when she taught a workshop for our critique group and since then, I took her Fox Valley Technical College course on blogging, which led to this blog.  


We were especially pleased to have Nikki with us this week.  Wade has been tied up with family commitments and I am busy with my end-of-the-year organization. (Only 19 more things on my list by tomorrow night.) We discovered that writing a short story every other week is a big commitment.  We'll keep at it, but a vacation is a relief. 


Nikki decided to begin by demonstrating "Three Word Wednesday", a prompt on the Internet at http://www.threewordwednesday.com   that was set up to inspire writers. Using the prompts, Nikki wrote two short pieces.
