SUBMISSION BOMB.
I just sent out five stories to various markets. I’ve been so crazy busy that I haven’t had time to send them back out until now. In fact, at one point I didn’t have time to bathe. (Fret not, it was for a good cause, and it paid off. All will be...Edit-o-rama.
I’m hoping this is close to the last draft of my bug story. It’s about 4800 words of insecty goodness! Um. Yeah. Trust me on this. Heh. In other news, I have a huge pile of stories that need to go back out because of commute hell. Maybe I should go do...Patch Tuesday

I think Alexia Tarabotti is my fictional twin. Well. Aside from the no soul thing (unless you ask my ex). Seriously, she’s bossy, blunt, smart, and in your face. Okay, and aside from the Victorian thing. I’d make a terrible Victorian. My television...Software Update
I moved to WordPress. Mainly because of the ease of upgrades. Compared to Movable Type upgrades, well, damn. My commute is so ugly these days (hence the radio silence) that that makes a big difference to me. So. How are you? Happy New...Subscribe
