As part of a new look and a new blog setup, this week is about writing. My next six posts will cover various aspects of writing. One per day. So, on with it.

But today is catch up day. I'll be escaping into my epic … Continue reading It’s a distraction, Kind of

I have black, white, cis, trans, female, male, bi, gay, brown, polyamorous, amazing friends. And we, as a country, failed them-us. We failed … Continue reading What the hell, America?
It is that time again. It is November. It is Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) and I have been working on an Epic Fantasy called Whisperwood. The theory behind Nanowrimo, which I call "Ask Daddy, Mommy's Working" month, is that if you write 1667 words every day, you will reach 50,000 words by the end … Continue reading Hello again!
