This is a story involving a woman who’s on the run and the kids who inadvertently get caught up between her and her pursuers. It combines the military sci-fi theme of Bullet Points with a somewhat sweet story of […]

It’s time yet again for some historic events to inspire your writing or maybe just pique your curiosity! This month’s list of historic event again comes from The History Place, which has a nice, simple way of presenting things. But I’ve also found October in Pop Culture History, which has a variety of facts about […]

Reading: Books to review, along with my current craft book, Millions of Suns by M.C. Benner Dixon and Sharon Fagan McDermott. Each of the two authors has an essay before the exercise for each chapter, and they’re all wonderful essays combined with stories from their lives, thus far!

As always, I devote column 1 to Mab’s Drawlloween Club, my favorite of the bunch. (She also has a printable calendar version if you prefer to have that to scribble notes […]

I had three new pieces out in the month of October! My poem, “Portrait Day at Zapus Zone 9 Academy,” appeared in the October issue of Star*Line. Super exciting for me was that this poem is on the BACK COVER, so when people flip over the issue, I’m right there for the world to read! […]

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 […]
