N’Inktober Week 3
October has been a roller coaster, folks. I know I haven’t been blogging – it’s difficult to be relentlessly cheerful in the face of things out of my control, and I’m struggling to keep my feet under me and moving forward. I am, however, finding small joys in the daily artworks. This year I have…

Odd Prompts: Centipede Pie
Ok, I had an epic writing day, with almost 3500 words to finish off a story for an anthology. Then I realized I hadn’t done the prompt… so here’s a little bit of flash fiction for you all to laugh at. **** She felt her jaw drop. “What did you say?” She asked after a…

N’Inktober: Week 2
Not to jinx myself, but while some Octobers have been chaotic wild with the art challenge on top of everything else, this one seems to be allowing me time for creativity at least so far. I’m pretty happy with most of my output. If you’re seeing this before the explanatory post last week, check out…

Show me you care
It’s been a long couple of weeks. Today is the first day off in twelve days straight. So of course I’m cleaning. I mean, I probably would have spent most of my day curled up and drawing, or writing, but my son dragged me gently but inexorably out into the living area and said ‘clean!’…

Celebrations and Poetry
I was given a lovely gift for my birthday! This is a poem by my friend and co-author Jimmie Bise. He just came off a month straight of writing a poem every day, and I was so honored when I received this from him. To My Friend, a Scientist, on Her Birthday You know all…

Odd Prompts: Chloe Snip
A snippet from the next Groundskeeper story, and my prompt challenge for the week. I’m gearing up the writing – frankly, we need the income. It was never supposed to take six months to complete this move, and two households drains even a decent reserve. So there will be publications rolling out from Sanderley…

Ninktober: Art Prompts
This year I’m doing it again – expanding and amplifying my daily art during the month of October to take my art skills up a notch. And like last year, there’s no actual ink involved. It’s all digital! Clean, no muss, no fuss, and I just don’t have time for dealing with the wet stuff. …

Science Fiction Recommendation!
Just a note upfront – I’m biased. I was an alpha reader and that’s my cover on this book. So you know, I’m proud of it! It’s a good book, and I think you ought to read it anyway. Foreign Shores – military science fiction Eric’s escape from Solitude quickly turns into a desperate attempt…

Twenty Years
A random conversation the other day kicked this line of thought into motion. Twenty years ago, I was… Mothering a toddler, a baby, and pregnant. I was on the brink of twenty-five, and I was exhausted and a mess. We would wind up moving during that pregnancy, just about a month before she was born.…

Odd Prompts: Running with Scissors
This is more of the Chloe story, from the Groundskeeper world. *** They dashed across the lobby, Chloe weaving between bemused shoppers, and out the doors where the ghost had vanished. Chloe stopped dead on the sidewalk, right on the curb, and looked around. There was nothing besides a scattering of regular everyday people. “He…

Continuing Education
I sometimes have to stop and explain to friends that I was raised without a television, and I really didn’t have much exposure to music, either, so while I can usually grasp a pop culture reference through context and exposure to memes… I often have never seen the source material. Had one of those moments…

Week of Words
It’s been an eventful week. Last weekend, I was at a convention. This weekend? Dinner with the gang… and we now have a new name, and a website to organize the shenanigans (ok, as much as we’ll ever be organized) and I am working hard on a project that evolved from funsies to ‘oh, cr*p…
