Acrophobia Minima

GEORGE: PLEASE, MATE, YOU’VE GOT TO GET UP. ME: What are you…it’s six AM, what are you doing? Get off my pillow. GEORGE: PLEASE! IT’S AN EMERGENCY. ME: *grabs shoes* ME: *shivering* What the everliving… FRED: OH, THANK HEAVENS. EVEN TEA DOESN’T WORK. tinyBATMAN: AUGH! ARRRRGH! ARRGH! ME: *stares* FRED: I’VE EVEN TRIED TEA WITH […]

Zombie Fanfic

You guys know how much I love Zombies, Run. I love the story, I love the characters, I love running accompanied by them. I have even developed a wee bit of a crush on Sam Yao. (Hey, a runner knows how much to value a good operator.) So…I wrote some Zombies, Run fanfic. I want […]

Time, Energy, Vitriol

The third Steelflower peek is now up for my Patreon folks! This one is a glimpse into Kaia’s past–one of those scenes you write because you know it has some importance, you’re just not sure WHAT yet. Hope you guys enjoy it. I’ve finally gotten past the second assassination attempt, and now I know why […]

Thinky-Thoughts

I took the whole weekend off from the internet, and I feel cleaned-out and more at peace. I needed to do some thinking about my career, and it’s hard to do if I’m flitting around on social media all the time. I cleaned, I read, I moved a bunch of books from the “Favourites” shelves […]

Fridge Pickles

Summer is gasping and fading. Samhain’s around the bend. But here’s one last peek at the hot days. My sister brought a glut of cucumbers to me for processing. There was a lot of time spent with a mandoline making fridge pickles[1], and I’m happy to report I still have 100% of my original fingers […]

Process, NaNo, Prep

I get mail. And sometimes it’s really awesome mail! Reader MV (who I believe is Brazilian?) had a very interesting question. Do to the approaching NaNoWriMo time, I’m searching about outlining process and how to better structure my story to face an entire writing time without failing. As a film and television production student I’ve […]

Teen Sulks

Despite the first wave of rains, the next few days are going to be clear and warm. Nights will be almost-cold, of course, because we’ve turned the corner into autumn, but they’re saying at least one day this week will be almost 80F. In October. Sheesh. Anyway, yesterday was a Good Writing Day, which helps. […]

Zero Fallow

Gutters and storm drains choked with falling leaves and pine needles. Being able to exhale hard and see your breath when you take the dogs out before bed. Dogs shedding summer coats and growing out their winter ones. Pumpkins piled in front of the grocer’s, in defiance of the shortage. Yes, after a September much […]

Furry Belly Dance

Miss B is getting older, and one of the things she loves is lying on her back. Aussies are prone to hip problems, so I keep a sharp eye on her for that. But maybe it’s just that she feels good, it’s relaxing, and the drive-by belleh-rubs are worth it. She’s shameless, our Herder of […]

Redacted Entitlement

Yes, I get mail. Yes indeed. Dear Lili, Good afternoon. I hope this email finds you well. I am a book reviewer, blogger, and a HUGE fan of your writing. I am sending you this message to inquire about the possibility of receiving a signed copy of your book STRANGE ANGELS. It would truly mean […]
