Alright, everyone. It’s spooky season, and we’re getting EXTRA weird for this month’s writing prompts! As I often do for October, I’m pulling the first column of prompts from Mab’s Drawlloween Club. This year, Mab has opted to write prompts that will inspire lighter and sillier drawings (or stories). But for my second column, I’ve […]

A few months back, I recorded an interview for the Small Publishing in a Big Universe podcast, where I talked about self-publishing and small press publishing, and some of the pros and cons of each!

My young adult epistolary horror novella, Camp Haunt, is out today, in print and ebook for the first time! Camp Haunt started out as a serial epistolary novel on Channillo, which I wrote in 2016 and just into the beginning of 2017. At one point, I thought I might completely rewrite it as a novella […]

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post covers Chapter 2, Section 2, on rhyme. This is the shortest section that I’ve looked at so far, which mainly exists to introduce the ideas of the […]

This week’s image prompts are some slightly abstract pieces. The first image is a series of waves in blues and purples. It could be water, paper, or flowers. The second image is a deer buck rendered in polygons. The extent of the buck’s antlers are not shown in the image, and the background is soft […]

If you’re a sci-fi fan, I’ve got a sci-fi collection that might appeal to you! New Moons Under Which to Sleep contains previously published sci-fi short stories, flash fiction pieces, and a couple of poems, plus a couple of pieces that were new to the collection. My other recent sci-fi publications are: “Slime, or Primordial […]

Unsurprisingly, we cruised through the first season of Sandman. This is a show I’ve been awaiting since 1995, when one of my college friends introduced me to the comic book. Short version: I was not disappointed when the wait was over! There’s been discussion of the casting and the differences between the comics and the […]

“Coffin Coffee Table” is a story that I like to include in my readings because the twist gets people every time. I often introduce it as a story about carpentry and consent, which is both entirely true, and only the half of it. The idea of building a coffee table in the shape of a […]

My day job has recently implemented our hybrid work plan, in which we work from both the office and home, depending on our position and needs. For me, that means that most weeks, I work from the office three days and from home two days. (My schedule is slightly flexible because my editing work is […]
