She winced when he grabbed her arm to help her into bed. He immediately pulled away, folded his fingers together in his lap. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?" "A little," she lied. The nerves along her arm screamed through the medicine, telling her that something was wrong, that her bones and muscle were not in … Continue reading Flash Fiction: The Tiger’s Wife

Coming Back From the Point of No Return
Ryan and I saw Dream House over the weekend, and it was interesting for reasons that ultimately didn't have anything to do with its actual story. I'll try to briefly describe what happens without spoiling it, just in case any of you are interested in watching a psychological thriller from last year starring James Bond … Continue reading Coming Back From the Point of No Return
Simplifying the Work
Last week was an overwhelming one. The carpool I had shared with a friend had just ended when he took a new position at work, so I was back to travelling to my job by Caltrain. I hadn't expected it to be a big adjustment, but it turns out it was. The fact that the … Continue reading Simplifying the Work
Literary Television Episodes
When I first discovered the Internet, one of the things that I immediately took to was the many different ways you could use it to disseminate information. Stuff like Wikipedia is great, and the fact that I could theoretically find out how to make just about anything by looking it up is stupendously awesome. If … Continue reading Literary Television Episodes
A Life of Intention
My post about why we should think about including furries in our fiction drew a lot of comments after it went up. I got a *lot* of people Twitter-bombing me about why I was wrong! A lot of the feedback was useful, and I'm grateful for it. It offered up a new perspective on the … Continue reading A Life of Intention
The Puzzle of Abigail
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?
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
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
What am I writing this summer?
We're just three short days away from the start of the Clarion Write-A-Thon. I'm looking forward to it! I'll be in my home office bright and early Sunday morning, sipping coffee and banging out the first thousand words of my project before heading out to brunch with friends. What will I be working on, though? … Continue reading What am I writing this summer?
