Apparently I am going to be working on RunStarGirl alllllllll day, because I haven’t had the chance to get to it. I’ve been swamped. I’m still swamped. I’m more than swamped, but I need to see this through. It isn’t that I hate to lose as much as I hate to give up on something. It’s tempting [...]

Zombie Poetry and Interdimensional Wombats
Posted in Writing, tagged poetry, special needs on March 27, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I just had a poem accepted for A. P. Fuchs’ ”Poems of the Dead” anthology. I’m pretty excited about it. I noticed that my little paper stack of “I’ve been published in this!” is getting a bit thicker. It really makes me happy. I only have a few days left to get RunStarGirl into the [...]

Bradley. And I Am Refined.
Posted in Writing on March 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I have a poem up in Kill Poet. It’s called “Bradley”, and I submitted it back when I was very, very, very new at submissions. Like, July of last year. Now I’m just very, very new at submissions. I read my bio and shuddered, for now I am wise and worldly. I don’t scream when I [...]
And I Ran, I Ran So Far Away
Posted in Writing on March 21, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Did I really call upon the power of A Flock of Seagulls to make my point? Why, yes, yes I did. I hope that this demonstrates the gravity of the situation. Yesterday I fled (FLED!) to the writer’s group. My children had been demonically scuttling across the ceiling for the last two hours, and I was [...]
I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts.
Posted in Writing on March 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »
You know what has been popping up a lot lately? Ghosts. Not literally. But I’ve been stumbling upon ghost stories. A friend has become a ghost hunter. I was watching the Travel Channel (go…basic cable?) and it was The World’s Creepiest Places, bwa ha ha! I’ve been to most of them, and didn’t find them all [...]
Rewarded For Reading?
Posted in Writing on March 15, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Kind of. In a way. But more truthfully, this is because I really like to make things. Different, weird, and slightly bizarre things. I did this on my personal blog, as well, so in reality I’m going to be coming up with ten different creative items. Rock on! The first five people to respond to [...]
Friday the 13th! And it Rocks!
Posted in Writing on March 14, 2009 | 5 Comments »
As Friday the 13th usually does. 13 is my lucky number, which is no surprise since my birthday is on the 13th. Today, actually, so hooray. I’m officially 30. Does that still make me a young writer? I hope so! I know that I write more and with a little more finesse than I did [...]
The ABC’s of Murder
Posted in Writing on March 9, 2009 | 4 Comments »
“The ABC’s of Murder” is up. It’s a happy little story about death and relentless murder and despair and…uh…anyway. It’s one that I’m quite fond of. One day I thought of the line, “I got really tired of murdering Billy Cords,” and the rest was history. http://www.onthepremises.com/issue_07/contents_07.html
A Brief Lesson About Monarchs
Posted in Writing on March 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
A lot of you have seen this before. It’s one of my very favorite pictures. This was a male monarch that hatched out a year or so ago. You can tell it’s a male because of the black spots on his hind wings, which releases a chemical used in courtship, so I hear. He [...]
