You know you’re a grown-up when you get excited about filing cabinets. When we were in Ohio, I had two very heavy and nice filing cabinets, wood, executive level quality. Man, they weighed a ton! And I had a four-drawer steel filing cabinet. One that predated WWII and was made of a thickness of steel…

Odd Prompts: Special Delivery
This is part of the ongoing WIP, which I really ought to link up I suppose, or not and you’ll have to buy it when I’m done! *** There were lamps. Lamps, and candles, and Bonnie knelt next to the chest, looking up at John with her hands full of slightly honey-scented tapers. “We could…

FenCon 2022 AAR
TL:DR: Had a blast, wore myself out, and have no regrets! FenCon last year was my first experience with this con, and on a whim I’d gotten a table to commit commerce, which also turned into having friend’s books and wares on that table. The week after the con, the vote was taken and North…

Anthophilous
Home from the con. Drained and need to recover, may do AAR later today or tomorrow. For now I’m holing up with soft music, the Day Job, and pretending there are no people. Anthophilous: Attracted to flowers.

FenCon 2022
I’ll be out of pocket all weekend, in Irving, Texas at FenCon. A small literary SFF con, I’d attended last year and had a lot of fun. This year I’m going back, and there will be even more fun! A lot of friends will be there, and I’m really looking forward to seeing folks. My…

Odd Prompts: The Dark Room
A snippet of a work in progress, since I’ve had trouble finding time for writing around con prep. I’ll be at FenCon this weekend. Here’s my Schedule if you will be as well! *** The cat stopped, his tail switching angrily. Nella stopped, too, doing her best to become one with the shadows. Luka crouched,…

The Evolution of Language
My sister’s comment about my desk being an island in a sea of books is both not wrong, and got me thinking about why I own so many books. Firstly, as I have discussed elsewhere, they are a bit of a security blanket. The First Reader refers to the home library as my dragon’s hoard.…

Writer’s Desk
And artist’s, and technical writer (day job title, but it doesn’t really cover what I do. Close enough), and mom and… When we moved into the Crooked House, I was working from home and had to be working while we moved in. This, on top of other things meant that two things happened. One, the…

Evoke
From the Latin ex-: out of, and vocare: to call out evocare, to call out of, to call from… I’ve been watching the conversation about art these last several weeks with interest. This is hardly the first time the art world has been set on it’s ears. I suspect that the Egyptian art community’s response…

Odd Prompts: Gravel Drive
This is another snip of the WIP I’m calling Special Delivery for now. *** John drove slowly up the winding drive, peering ahead of them with more than strictly necessary attention. The road wasn’t paved, but the center greenery had been neatly cut down, and recently, too. He steered around a puddle with a frown. …

Status Check
It’s Monday, and I’m sitting at the desk feeling like my brain is oozing out through my tearducts. Not really, it’s the congestion causing me to weep gently and constantly. You see, it rained… Which is a good thing and I’m very grateful it did. I love that I can plant a fall garden, and…

Travelling With an AI
A guest post from Marion M. As a military brat, I’ve been the kid on some of those interminable road trips, and have hauled my own along on a few all-day treks as well. Travel games are a thing… and this is a very creative one! You can find part one of my unorthodox ways…
