Smashing Stories: Baseball and Writing

Smashing Stories: Baseball and Writing

Smashing Stories is a website of three up-and-coming women writers, who take turns churning out their thoughts, opines and dreams. Worth linking up to these three!

In England, an apartment is called a flat; an elevator, a lift; and, well, we from the United States are still affectionately called "colonists." Here in the States, we say someone is brilliant, if they do something extraordinary. In England they say (make sure you read this with a Brit accent): You're such a clever girl! [Director's notes: Elongate the "yoouu're" - nearly sing it, clip the "such," then, pause penultimately before punching "clever," and finally mulling deliciously the word "girl."]

And so it is with these three. They are clever young women forging a place for themselves in this age of electronic volubility. This blogger will always tell you of things and people, and now, of these three writers, who are, without question, of good report!
