I'd like to start off by wishing all of you a wonderful new year! I don't know if any of you have made resolutions or not (I have), but whatever your plans I hope that you have a better year ahead than you did behind you. The beginning of the year is always an exciting … Continue reading The Plan (January 2013)

Sleepwalkers Fiction: The Balance
Prescott's ear twitched as he looked down at the paper before him. He had written words and numbers on it, all laid out in a nice little chart. The source of income or expense in the far left column, and money going into his bank account in the middle one. At the far end went … Continue reading Sleepwalkers Fiction: The Balance
Short Fiction: No Man’s Land
(This is what I came up with for a Thursday prompt two weeks ago, boundaries. I wanted to return to Matthew from my previous story and see how he was doing after the transformation was complete. This story doesn't end so much as stop, and I'll need to take a couple more stories to focus specifically on … Continue reading Short Fiction: No Man’s Land
Short Fiction: Matthew Prepares for His Birth
(The Thursday Prompt last week was "forever". That got me thinking about what forever means to us, and how we would never really want something to last forever. People were made to exist in a changing universe, and the drive to adapt is coded in our genetics. That lead me down a rabbit trail and … Continue reading Short Fiction: Matthew Prepares for His Birth
Writing Plan for December 2012
I took a bit of planned time off in November. I have a number of good projects I could be working on, but I thought it would be a good time to close out the end of the year working on fundamentals. I'd like to develop a consistent writing practice, where I'm at least banging … Continue reading Writing Plan for December 2012
Short Fiction: The Beanstalk and the King
(This is just a silly little bit of short fiction that I wrote for a writing challenge somewhere. I ended up really liking the setting and the characters, actually, and I'll probably be working with it in another story somewhere down the road. For now, though, this is a tiny little introduction.) No one knew … Continue reading Short Fiction: The Beanstalk and the King
Sleepwalkers Fiction: The Gateway
(Here is a short bit of Sleepwalkers fiction that I've written. I wanted to establish the voices of some members of The Trio (the more problematic ones), and get a bit of a feel for the magical aspects of the setting.) "This is my grandmother's house," the rabbit with the trenchcoat said. He placed one … Continue reading Sleepwalkers Fiction: The Gateway
Short Fiction: My Father’s Last Best Memory
We had been in the bunker for two weeks, well past the time we should have all been dead. We had no idea why the world hadn't ended by now, or if it actually had and the screams we were hearing through the windows were just extremely long death throes. We knew that nothing worked, … Continue reading Short Fiction: My Father’s Last Best Memory
The State of the Rabbit
It's been a little while since I've done these, so I thought I would write a quick entry for today about where I am on various projects. I didn't sign up for National Novel Writing Month this year (and I haven't any other year, either), but there's got to be something that occupies my time, … Continue reading The State of the Rabbit
Fiction: Robert’s Harness
I wouldn't have tied up Robert if he hadn't been so insistent. He had been acting really strangely since Jocelyn disappeared, and I figured it was just the stress of losing his wife or something without knowing what happened to her. Over the past few weeks, though, he had confided in me more and more, … Continue reading Fiction: Robert’s Harness
