Regressing
After Drak recommended God in the Dock in response to yesterday’s post, I picked it up. It’s been a while since I read CS Lewis, and I knew I hadn’t read that collection of essays. I’m delighted I impulse bought this book. The essays are a broad collection, apologetics, yes, but it’s Lewis. He had…

I found myself doomscrolling this morning and made myself stop. I think it’s time for another break from social media, or at the very least limit my interactions there severely – I can’t cut it out entirely as I’ve set up things like my daily art groups, and a writing group, and this keeps me…

Work Weekend
So I have three days off from the day job, and my reaction was ‘goodie! I can do the other job!’ and maybe I’m broken, but this is what I mean when I say that… I started my morning a little late, with the Mad Genius Club blog post, wherein I postpone the deadline for…

Mae Ploy
It’s funny, the little things that parenting entails. I was talking to the Little Man the other day, about when he really was my little man. “I used to make airplane noises to get you to eat.” I told him. “Really?” He’s sitting next to me in the car, and out of the corner of…

Lawdog’s Lessons: Tribalism
Another fine lesson from the Lawdog. Since he’s pointed out that truly understanding the situation over there is post-graduate level in several fields, he wanted me to make clear that these are meant as thumbnail sketches off the top of his head. I think they’d make an excellent intro to the topic, and hope he…

Odd Prompts: The Phoenix Egg
A bit of frothy nonsense for today’s prompt response. Also, my son and I were doing a bit of friendly competition, writing 2000 words in the last 24 hours. I made it to 2115 with this. **** “That,” He gestured at the gleaming orb. “Is not a phoenix egg.” “No?” Harnady cocked an eye at…

Lawdog’s Lessons: Leaving
Some people live through history. Some are touched by it. Lawdog, who I have the honor call a friend, has been one of the latter. I asked if I might share this here, and he said please do, with credit. So here’s one of Lawdog’s lessons. Language is unedited. There are times for strong language,…

Odd Prompts: Returns
This is a chunk of something from a WIP. I may not include it when the actual thing comes together (everything else is in first person) so this was just what the prompt popped into my head. *** Mac leaned over Chimwemwe’s shoulder, resting his hand on the shock chair rather than the alien’s rubbery…

Relentlessly Cheerful
Never give up, never surrender. Never let the despair drag you into the falsehood of believing there’s no hope. It’s a lie, for one thing. There is always hope, and joy, and humans are more resilient than we give them credit for. For another thing… We, speaking in the very broad human voice here, are…

Monsooning
I keep saying this, and all my Texas connections keep spluttering and assuring me that it’s not normal… Folks, I have had two rosemary plants die on my balcony. Of drowning. I’m sitting here this morning, knowing there will be no dawn, because it’s raining like a cow standing over a flat rock. Yes, I…

Odd Prompts: Having Adventures
Another section of a work in progress, which I will not be posting wholly here, sorry. *** The next morning, they all gathered on the porch as the sun was just coming up. Corvina was yawning and heavy-eyed. She might have slept longer, had she not been curled up on the floor in the living…

Hey lady? Where’d you get all those fingers? I know how you all feel about recipe blogs. I do, too. In fact, that’s why I’m putting this one on the blog, for future reference (this is my virtual recipe box) without having to scroll past 13 advertisements and a lengthy take on how to make…
