I think I want to go to Carter’s Cove – no one ever seems to get sick there! Also, Molly could make me yummy things to help me get better. Oh well…. Friday, December 5 Molly was sitting on a stool in the kitchen, a frown on her face and her …
(advent) December 4
Thursday, December 4 “Molly! Schrodinger! You’re a sight for sore eyes!” Heidi beamed at them from behind the reception desk at the Gate station, and her large grey cat Porter got up to waddle over and touch noses with Schrodinger. Molly smiled at the receptionist. “It’s good to see you too, Heidi! Is everyone in …

Sorry, guys. Cold is kicking my butt, and I forgot I didn’t have this cued up to go! Wednesday, December 3 Molly was rolling out dough in her kitchen when Schrodinger came in. I’m sorry, he said contritely, coming over next to her and laying his head against her calf. I was a brat yesterday. …
(advent) December 2
Tuesday, December 2 “Be careful!” Molly and Schrodinger watched anxiously as Drew leaned over and attached another hook along the edge of the wrap-around porch. The day was cloudy but dry so far, and Molly was actually happy there was no snow to try and balance the ladder in. The porch was one of the …
(advent) December 1st! It’s here!
`Welcome back to Carter’s Cove! It wouldn’t be Christmas without a trip there, would it?

As expected, all she encountered was fur, and she poked it gently. A …

(writing/nano/personal) Not dead (although sometimes I wonder…)
Short update- work has been long, so has life and I hate the shorter days. However, as of today, I’m putting all my whining behind me and getting back to what I love: writing. It’s been shoved aside too much lately. I’m working on the new Advent story, and having things percolate for then next …

As soon as I have the files, I will post them! Just waiting for the news that it’s up!
(writing/pendragon) What’s Past is not Always Past
This is a story I wrote for Every Photo Tells – it was their episode 115, and you can listen to it here. If you aren’t familiar with the concept, it is a podcast where they post a photo every month, and invite folks to write short stories around it. Then Katharina and Mick read …
