I feel like the “why” of this title can best be summed up by potential chapter headings comprised of things I’ve said in text messages. 1.) If I don’t answer for a bit, it’s because I’m driving home from the motherfucking store. 2.) I’d run away and join the circus, but I have no marketable circus […]
I think we all have things we avoid in life–at least, as much as we’re able. Here are a few of mine. 10.) Clowns. (I feel like this is pretty self-explanatory. They’re creepy AF.) 9.) Wet paper. (I don’t know why, but it makes me gag.) 8.) Large warehouse stores like Home Depot, Best […]
I can’t believe it’s the end of February. Though, I probably said that at the end of last month, too. Sigh. Okay, so last month, I said that I wanted to: Continue with whatever’s next on the Organized Home Challenge (Yep.) Finish revising and expanding Mist and Stone. (Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.) Progress on DN & EP (Nope.) Finish 5 more pussyhats (I […]
It’s time for another Top 10 List! Okay, so like most people, the best way to hook me as a reader is by writing a good book. And when I say a good book, I mean the premise and the actual writing, too–some books are strictly a one or the other kind of thing. I […]
I’ll be honest, I’ve been working my ass off, but I don’t feel like I’m really getting anywhere. I’d planned to have short story finished, a book revised and expanded, and be at least a quarter of the way into a new novella. However, that’s not quite how things worked. An ugly case of anxiety […]
Suggestion: If you’re reading this post and are stressed out by current events, I suggest skipping to the last paragraph where there’s a link to something just weird enough to be distracting and possibly amusing. So, this post…I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I’ve been having trouble narrowing my focus. Look…I have a […]
Musical Musings is a new feature this year where we’ll blog about some of our favorites and not-so-favorites. This month, the topics are: Song that Makes Me Want to Dance, Song that I Love to Sing Along With, and Favorite Soundtrack. Song that Makes Me Want to Dance – this one is super easy. Rusted Root’s […]
I can’t believe this is my 50th flash fiction. I mean, I know there are people out there who write a piece of flash fiction every day. I, however, am not that person, so I’m gonna go ahead and be impressed with and delighted by 50–especially since, when we started doing this, I was so weirded out […]
Prompt: S/he showed up at his/her door, soaking wet, bruised and covered in glitter. Alex stood in line of the grocery store clutching the last bouquet of slightly wilted roses they had and red plastic shopping basket filled to the brim with all of Izzy’s favorites. He set the flowers and everything else on the […]
Okay, I’m gonna be honest here, as relatively easy as top ten posts should be to write, this one is hard mostly because of the same old thing–as women, we’re conditioned not to think too highly of ourselves. Where even saying “thank you” when someone compliments us is seen as bragging. So, I’m just gonna […]
