Friday Fiction: Urban Blight
(This is a short story that I'm writing for the Clarion Write-a-Thon, inspired by the short story "Removal Order" by Tananarive Due. I had never seen someone tackle the idea of an apocalyptic scenario from the perspective of an inner-city character, and the prospect is really exciting to me. You see apocalyptic stories from the … Continue reading Friday Fiction: Urban Blight
(Storytelling) The Breath of Life
I watched the series finale of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland a few days ago, and I have to say that the ending of it kind of encapsulated what was wrong with the series as a whole. There were a number of surprisingly dark moments but they paled in comparison to the writers' commitment … Continue reading (Storytelling) The Breath of Life

And I've been trying to develop a good running practice for a little over seven years now -- first by regular trips on the treadmill and then by carving out good routes around the burrow. As you … Continue reading Whatever Your Heart Can Handle
Writing November
A lot of folks have been asking me if I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month this year, so I thought I would answer here. No, but not for lack of interest or desire. I just couldn't get my shit together yet in time, and there are too many other considerations on my time to … Continue reading Writing November
Rainfurrest 2013: Seattle Grunge
Last weekend I headed up to Seattle for the annual ode to anthropomorphics in the Pacific Northwest, Rainfurrest. It's a really nice convention, and it's positioned itself well -- in the crowded furry con landscape, I don't think there are too terribly many events in September. It's also one of the only conventions that makes … Continue reading Rainfurrest 2013: Seattle Grunge
