The foundation of a good story begins with a nugget of truth. With a shift of light and shadow, a focus on a detail, a blurring of lines... the storyteller remembers it better.
From his home in Asheville surrounded by beautiful mountains, author D. K. Wall shares his stories—thoughtful reflections and original tales drawn from a lifetime in the Carolinas and Tennessee.
They all have one thing in common: They're 100% true... except for the parts he makes up.
Join author D.K. Wall for Musings & Tales.
Opening a new bottle of mouthwash shouldn't require divine intervention, but here we are. Under the cap waits a tamper-resistant foil seal with a pull tab so tiny a gnat couldn't land on it. Armed with tweezers, a flashlight, and a pair of uncooperative progressive glasses, I go to war.

Rocking-Chair Rain
This isn't the Musing I planned to share this week. Something came up. Or, more exactly, went down. It rained. Not a gully-washer or a frog-strangler, but a gentle, all-evening, rocking-chair rain, the kind I'd been waiting for all summer.

Links Cost Extra
Meta One: Facebook now charges me to post links for you. Two a month are free, eight will run me $600 a year, and unlimited costs a cool $6,000. What a bargain. Since Meta clearly needs the money, I have a few better fee ideas — starting with weather hypesters, vaguebookers, and anyone who hijacks a potato salad recipe.
