For Reals

I don’t know what’s up with me lately. Remember when I blogged nearly every day? Yeah, probably not. This blog has been dark so often for so long, most anyone who used to read has wandered off. But I remember. It was a thing that I did! And people read, and talked to me, and […]

Contented Mermaid Noises

Contented Mermaid Noises

Water is so wonderful. I’ve always loved being in it. When I was a kid and my dad would take me and my brothers fishing? He never caught anything, because very quickly we kids would be in the water, and no fish in its right mind is coming near that. In tiny streams that barely

One Thing Down, a Couple Thousand to Go

I have enough paper. I’m telling myself that today. I’ve had “sort stuff on desk” on my to-do list for a while, and since I’m still recovering from foolishly damaging my knee, it’s a good day to be working in one spot (I mean, also I’m feeling super lazy. Don’t think I’m wishing I could

I had a lot of plans for when I (finally!) turned my book in. Just like I always do. I would read! I would write for fun! I would edit! I would go to movies and do things and life would be marvelous! I’m…working on it. After so long of trying NOT to do all
