Soundtrack Monday: White Flag
Sure, everyone who reads Danny’s story has feelings about Japhrimel. I mean, the Devil’s assassin is kind of impossible to be neutral on, especially when you’re inside a certain Necromance’s head. I know you think that I shouldn’t still love you. But I really treasure the few letters I get about Jace Monroe. Mostly because, …
Bit Askew
It’s been the kind of weekend that reminds me of going into the Rifts, frankly. Everything seems a little bit askew–probably from lack of sleep–and the danger won’t kill you instantly, it’ll kill you three steps ago or an hour from now. So to speak. Good news and terrifying news has abounded, and now I’m …

If It Fits…
I was chopping up (for recycling purposes) the box my new desktop came in, and Sir Boxnoggin, Lord van der Sploot, was extremely interested. He is somewhat of a feline canine, if one can be said to exist: If it fits, he sniffs; if he sniffs, he sploots. And then he returns to canine: If …

My Favorite Game
There’s a filthy haze lingering on the horizon today–an air stagnation advisory until next Tuesday, for gods’ sake. I can already feel the weight in my lungs. This is going to make running a little more difficult than usual. Admittedly, hauling my ass at a fast shamble is never easy, but still. There also hasn’t …

Slow Meatspace
Good morning, chickadees! Today I’m over on the good ‘ol Substack with a post about NaNoWriMo. I’ve decided on a schedule of Soundtrack Mondays, Writing Tuesdays, and Friday Photos, which should keep stuff around here hopping. I’m not just an author, I’m a damn experience. It’s foggy this morning, the inversion and Stagnant Air Advisory …

Soundtrack Monday: Measuring Cups
I’m not a huge Andrew Bird fan. Some of his stuff is just confusing for the sake of confusion, and that irritates me. And yet Measuring Cups came across my musical radar just at the right time while I was writing Dru dealing with the bullshit that is high school, especially for kids who have …
Monday To-Do
NaNoWriMo is underway; I’m doing a fresh new Watcher book for it. Right now it’s like pulling teeth because the word gain has to come in revision, but at least I’ve the damn thing quasi-outlined. I never use a very tight outline, and the thing’s main purpose is to be thrown out once I get …

Globular Children
Yes, my lovely globular children! You will be brushed with oil and roasted, then I will SCRAPE OUT YOUR FLESH and PUREE IT and CONSUME IT WITH SPICES and quite possibly a crust. …if you can’t tell, I had quite a lovely Samhain, and I hope you did too. I got a lot of things …

Sharing Good Things
The wind is up today, the Columbia Gorge inhaling for the deep dive into winter. There was stuff hitting the roof all night, but once the dogs are settled on my bed nothing fazes them. Of course, that could also have been because the wind chill manages to make the house a trifle chilly at …

Soundtrack Monday: Fool For Love
I know I missed last week’s Soundtrack Monday due to grief, but I’ve got a great one for you this time around, dear Readers. Roadtrip Z started out with my writing partner making an offhand comment about competence in a zombie apocalypse. Both she and I consider competence to be one of the sexiest things …
