I looked up from sweeping the floor in the cavernous warehouse, and saw something I never expected to see. Something that made me rub my tired eyes and wonder if I had been smelling too much solvent.
Sure enough, it was a cowboy leading a horse and I could have sworn something about him was [...]
This has been a crazy-insane work week. I’m not complaining, but it really has cut down on fiction time and I HATE that.
Sometimes, as we all know too well, it’s not the work that interferes but the muse. She has this annoying habit of sticking her nose in when you’re most involved in other [...]

This piece was inspiration for the WIP (now working on Chapter 22, can you say hallelujah?), but more for the “voice” than the actual story, although one of the characters does make an appearance, and their storyline is slated for one of the books in the series (did I just say “series”??

I had to pull this out of the vault, because I’ve been buried in work this week. While this is a good thing, it meant I couldn’t devote time to fiction. *Sniffle*
This story was a result of a writer’s prompt. I love prompts — some of my best work has come from them. Don’t ask [...]

Fresh out of high school with a crappy fast-food job frying chicken, flipping burgers, and moonlighting as a giant dancing hamburger on Saturdays to entice children and their hapless parents to partake of Grease and Fat Wrapped In A Bun, life should have sucked, but somehow didn’t.
Although, all my giant hamburger costume did was [...]
Again, if you don’t know, I’m working on my first novel. I’ve thought about writing a book for years, but nothing ever clicked with me. I attempted NaNo in 2004, and at the time I didn’t have a computer so I wrote “Dreamweavers” on yellow legal pads with a pen. You know, one of those [...]
Kate Sherrod is one of my Twitter Peeps. She is also one of the reasons I love Twitter so much. Talented, quirky, and a voice from “God’s Country”, we became friends through the Twittersphere, where otherwise we would never have met.
What caught my attention was Kate’s project of writing a sonnet every day by [...]

I’m a little irritated with WordPress, because it won’t allow me to upload images. I’ve run through my entire repertoire of swear words, so we’ll just carry on, shall we?
I stumbled across Susan Helene Gottfried’s blog close to a year ago (or more — it’s hazy, time is, especially with everything that’s happened this [...]

My apologies, because I meant to have this up on my usual “Fiction Friday”. However, I’ve spent the week sick as a dog, and fell a little behind. Sorry about that. However, things are better now, and I’m very pleased to introduce you to a very intriguing and interesting species — the ezine editor. The [...]
