A dear friend of mine celebrated his birthday a week or two ago, and I offered him a quick short story as an impromptu present. As usual, it took me a little longer than I would have liked to finish it up, but here it is! Crux is preparing for a nice, quiet birthday celebration; … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) A Birthday of Legend

(Personal) Accountability Report, January 2017
At the beginning of last month, I made three resolutions: I wanted to meditate and write every day, and I wanted to avoid added sugars if at all possible. Well, the first month of the year has come and gone, so I thought I'd take a look back on the last 31 days to see … Continue reading (Personal) Accountability Report, January 2017
(Monday Fiction) A Letter to Puxineathas Goodfellow (2)
I'm not going to lie -- the only thing more fun than writing that letter from Pux was researching more about gnomes as they're settled in Pathfinder. The more I learn about gnomes, the more I feel like I should play them more. This will probably upset My Husband, The Dragon to hear. But the … Continue reading (Monday Fiction) A Letter to Puxineathas Goodfellow (2)
(Friday Fiction) A Letter to Malcolm Williams
I didn't manage to put together a letter in time last week, so we'll have to miss one missive unfortunately. The previous letter was...something I wasn't quite happy with. I wanted to write it in the voice of someone who just wasn't used to long, written correspondence but I wanted to make it engaging at the … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) A Letter to Malcolm Williams
(Personal) The Semester That Was: Fall 2016
Earlier this year -- with some encouragement from My Husband, The Dragon -- I decided to go back to school to pursue a degree in Psychology. I've gotten to a very good place with my mental health, but there are so many people who grew up the way I did without access to mental health … Continue reading (Personal) The Semester That Was: Fall 2016
(Friday Fiction) Changeling: The Talk
Our protagonist gets a name! I'm still feeling out how being a Changeling would feel in inner-city Baltimore. I think there's something distinctive about the idea and I'd love to try and capture it. Here, Mr. Foster takes our narrator to McDonald's for an explanation of what's going on. Or not. I don't know if … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Changeling: The Talk
(Friday Fiction) Changeling: Emergent
It was my first day back in school after the mugging, and people were treating me surprisingly well. I guess word had spread about what happened, which was cool, but what was most interesting was how the story changed based on who told it. The teachers talked about how I nearly got away by telling … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Changeling: Emergent
(Friday Fiction) X-Men: A Tale of Two Kitties
(Continuing my little snippets of fiction imagining Beast settling in at the Jean Grey School, because the news from Marvel coming out of Comic-Con sounded really really bad for our merry band of mutants. While the X-Men line has...maybe seven titles out right now, many of them will be taking a hiatus once Civil War … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) X-Men: A Tale of Two Kitties
(Writing) The State of the Rabbit
This summer I've been trying to focus more on my writing -- after all, I'm a writer, and that's what I do. The trouble is I lead a pretty full life as it is. I have a day job that's fairly intensive, so I need to spend my work hours actually, you know, working. My … Continue reading (Writing) The State of the Rabbit
(Friday Fiction) The Job Interview of Dr. Henry McCoy
I've had superheroes on the brain for a while now, and there are a number of reasons for this. However, Beast of the X-Men is someone I just can't get out of my head -- also for a number of reasons. Ever since All-New Marvel Now!, when Brian Michael Bendis took over as the guiding … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) The Job Interview of Dr. Henry McCoy
