Come on, it’s almost time for the bell to ring!   I’m coming! Schrodinger stretched his legs, straining a bit to keep up with Jack. Remember, …

(advent) Sunday, December 1

“Hey, Schrodinger!”   Molly’s voice echoed though the tea room, puncturing his dreams like an arrow through a water balloon. Shards of thoughts fell around him, startling him. Not that he really minded: the dream had been dark, full of something horrible that he had to get away from, even as he couldn’t figure out …

(advent) November 30 – a prologue

Molly Barrett hummed to herself as she kneaded bread dough. There were four more loaves already rising in bread pans lined up on the stove, and five loaves in the oven. That would be enough bread for sandwiches for at least six days, provided Drew didn’t snitch a loaf for the Station. Maybe I’d better …

(writing/personal) Good intentions and all that jazz

I meant to write more today on the Advent Story for Nano.  I’m still determined that I’m finishing by November 30 (I can totally do it), but today was one of those days where I knew if I didn’t write at lunch, weren’t no words getting written.   Why?   Well, I had Things to …

(advent) Upcoming goodies!

I’m sorry, folks.  I’ve been neglecting the blog this month, because I’m knee-deep in the Advent story for next month, and it’s NaNo, and yeah, that’s not an excuse, but there it is.  However, I have some goodies coming up, and I wanted to let you know!   First, I’ll be on Mitchell Plested’s Get …

(personal/writing) New Studio!

Yep, if you follow me on Facebook, you’ll see that I moved into a new writing/art studio this weekend!  I’m very excited – it’s my first studio on my own (before I was sharing with another artist, my friend Beard who does amazing embroidery and text art) and it’s so cool.  I thought I’d share …

(health/food) Slowly getting back to it

Cons screw me up – even when I go in trying to be healthy, I always seem to end up sick.  Bleah.  This last week has been super busy as well, so it’s no wonder I ended up with con-crud and all sorts of headaches.  That’s why I went to bed early last night, with …
