Lights On-Line

Tiny Lights Publications' Internet Journal

I've reviewed hundreds of wonderful contest entries over the years, but things being the way they are, I've only been able to publish a fraction of them. This embarrassment of riches tended to distress me, until I finally figured out how to use too much of a good thing. Tiny Lights is proud to introduce "Lights On-Line," an intermittent Internet venue for personal essay. Now, in addition to the delectable pieces sandwiched between the covers of Tiny Lights, lovers of personal narrative can enjoy even more of their favorite fare at tiny-lights.com. Sample us regularly! Posting times, however, are approximate. Just remember, the best lights in life are worth waiting for.

Here we see the power of the past to shape our current perspectives.
