Postcards and Books
There’s another open call for the Postcard stories, as two of the Moms of the Apocalypse are at FantaSci this weekend. Remember: only 50 words, no more and no less. And include your name! You can reach out to me at cedarlila at gmail dot com for your prompt image! And in the department of…

Invasion of The Cyoots
The Crooked House is under siege. Patter, patter, patter… thwonk. That’s the sound of tiny paws getting up a running start, then mis-estimating the clearance on the hollow-core door between the office and bedroom. Kitten heads are, thank heavens, hard. My house is full of popcorn kittens, and one growling demon. Inspector Gidget is deeply…

Coconut Cream Pie
The First Reader loves coconut cream pies, and over the years I’ve blogged the recipe I usually make for him, which calls for fortifying a boxed cook-and-serve pudding. It’s an easy way to do it, but a few years ago it started to be hard to find the pudding mixes. I would buy half a…

Cranky Pants
I’ve got my cranky pants on the way. Not, you’ll note, on. See, I’ve gained a fair amount of weight this last year, and while that’s a problem, it’s not the problem here. I’m working on the weight – or more specifically, on the regaining muscle and flexibility. That’s an ongoing battle I’ll be dealing…

Odd prompts: The Meeting
The rain had been falling all night, and the roar of the river could be heard even from the cabin high on the hill. The last of the autumn had washed away, leaves fluttering to the ground and plastering themselves over the lawn with the force of the water falling. Dawn hadn’t been breaking so…

Exercise in Frustration
It’s been a busy week, it’s going to continue to be a busy week right through… checks calendar… The last week of March doesn’t look so bad. Yet. One small, minor, supposedly simple task I’d given myself today was to update the file upload size on my website. Yeah. About that. Right now the new…

Saturday Supper
Food is love. When we moved to Texas a couple of years ago now, part of the motivation was coming into a community of friends that felt like family and were close enough to sit down and eat with from time to time. The group of folks who would become known as the North Texas…

The Squeaks Caper
A few years ago, at the height of the nonsense, a friend was sad. Heck, the world was sad. Lawdog, like me, has a bit of the clown in him, so he was doing his part to entertain and amuse the world at large. I was doing art every day, and he’d been posting funny…

Calculated Writing
and not the kind of writing you may be thinking of. I haven’t been writing non-fiction for… a while. I miss the deep dives into a research topic, and then pulling it together into a cohesive whole. On the other hand, the time to get stuck into a topic well enough to produce a cohesion,…

Odd Prompts: Preparations
This is a snippet of a WIP, and I’ve just finished up a long story for an anthology. I’ve written about 3700 words so far today! *** “First order of business is to reach the engine.” The marines nodded. They were eager to get in the ship, and see if there were survivors, but it…

The Squeaks Caper
Coming soon. Very soon, as in it should be live on Friday. This is the fourth in the illustrated books I’ve been working on with Lawdog, the third in the Africa tales, which are now linked in a series called Lawdog in Color. They are sort-of coloring books, but mostly just fun illustrations, verging on…
