Somewhat Vacation

A 5km tempo run (avec bonus agility training), a tepid shower (I’m trying out cold showers, don’t ask), and that first taste of caffeine for the day (harsh black tea with just a little heavy cream). Ahhh. That’s better. I’ve decided August is the month I finish the zero of Roadtrip Z, and is ALSO […]

Calling Ishmael

I once tried to read Moby Dick in high school. It defeated me, much as the Russians did (except Crime and Punishment, I read that shit and wanted to smack Raskolnikov even at a tender age) and I decided life was too short. Cue to *mumblemumble* years later, and the Moby Dick at Sea Twitter […]

Sexy Bee

Oh yeah, baybee. Look at all that pollen. (I can’t help it. I’m twelve inside, and plant reproduction makes me giggle.)

Canary Shed Finale

So, when last we spoke, dear Readers, I was crouched inside my shed while a squirrel danced on the roof. Our shed has its idiosyncrasies, just like the house. I think part of the reason I fell in love with this place was that it seemed just as weird as our little family. (That, and […]

The Penultimate of Canary Shed

My good intentions get me into trouble. We all know this. So, just to bring you up to speed, there was the squirrel, the dogs, the crushed and fragrant lavender, a garden gnome so upset he was considering giving up pacifism, and just-barely-caffeinated-yours-truly. The first was making a lot of noise, the second were both […]

Coming in November

I’ll tell you what happened with Canary!Squirl and the shed on Monday, dear Readers. For right now… November. And that’s all I’m going to say at the moment.

The Ballad of Canary Shed, Part II

I ask you, my ever-faithful Readers, have you ever carried a very excited Australian shepherd up two flights of stairs while a squirrel screams imprecations from your shed roof and a garden gnome is using language he probably learned on a Grateful Dead tour? …maybe I should back up. So I compounded my error of […]

The Ballad of Canary Shed

Morning. I am absorbing my coffee at the dining table and thinking about the day’s work–another fifty pages of revisions is my short-term goal. I swear to all the gods I intended a hundred a day, but this book is…crunchy. And complex. ANYWAY, all of a sudden, there is a noise. Not your average noise, […]

Revisions, and Canary

Well, I’m awake. Or at least, vertical. And about to start revisions. This book is having a…difficult…birth, to say the least. I’m almost at the point of crying with sheer frustration, but not quite. I mean, why bother revising when the publisher has told you they don’t even want the damn book? Because I’m a […]

If you’re interested in a two-buck werewolf short story I wrote while thinking about how to write the Angelov Wolves, now’s your chance!
