A new story up and the results of the retreat

| September 10, 2012

First off, since I promised I would share it as soon as I had information on the publication date, my short story, “Bringing Light to the World,” went up at Fickle Muses on Sunday! I wrote this story, which is a retelling of a Native American legend, about a year and a half ago. Unfortunately, […]

Friday recap is back!

| May 18, 2012

Yeah, I know. I haven’t remembered to recap for a while. My bad. Then again, I haven’t had a lot to recap. See, hubbie found this MMO, and it’s all been downhill from there. It’s got me sucked in, which means that most of my spare time is now spent gardening and trying to level. […]

Friday recap!

| April 20, 2012

This week, I scribbled about 650 words of a story on post-its and in E-mails to myself. It’s an interesting way of writing, especially because most of the words are small, discontiguous scenes.
