For this year's Clarion Write-A-Thon, I decided to pull the trigger on a story that had been gestating for some time, a novel called Sleepwalkers. It was originally my idea for a TV series based on Changeling: the Dreaming, and evolved into a series of novels instead. Since White Wolf ended C:tD along with the … Continue reading The Puzzle of Abigail

But Why Furries?
If you haven't guessed by the fact that I'm using an alias that uses the last name of "Rabbit," I'm a furry. I assume that for the most part you already know that if you're reading this blog, but before I dive in to my post for the day I'd … Continue reading But Why Furries?

In Defense of The Newsroom
Like most gods-fearing liberals out there, I'm a huge fan of HBO television. I've seen every episode of Six Feet Under, Oz, The Sopranos. I watch Game of Thrones, True Blood (so help me), and Boardwalk Empire. Worse than that, I'm an evangelist. I'll tell friends who rave to me about shows I've only heard … Continue reading In Defense of The Newsroom
Writing Projects, All in a Line
It's been just over a week since Clarion's ended, and since then I've taken a small break from writing quite so intently. What's surprising is that my writing hasn't slowed down much at all -- I'm still averaging about a thousand words a day -- but that productivity is suffusing through a number of different … Continue reading Writing Projects, All in a Line
Where I Came From
One of my earliest memories is one where I ask a completely random question for no reason and get an answer I wasn't expecting at all. I was with my family, which was complete in those days -- my father was home, my mother didn't have any errands, and my sister and I were done … Continue reading Where I Came From

32 Years
My birthday was on Monday, and it was a relatively quiet one. I went to work, came home and enjoyed the company of some writer friends, had a bit of cake. The actual birthday celebration will come this Saturday with a reasonably large crowd at one of our favorite restaurants, La Mere Michelle. I’m looking … Continue reading 32 Years
What I Learned From the Clarion Write-A-Thon
Over the past six weeks I've been knee-deep in writing for the Clarion Write-A-Thon, which a fundraiser and a show of solidarity for great up-and-coming writers who participated in the Clarion Workshop that ended on Saturday. It was tremendous fun -- I've gotten to meet (and read snippets from) a lot … Continue reading What I Learned From the Clarion Write-A-Thon
