I learned today that May is Short Story Month in the States. This makes me happy, not only because I like short stories so much but also because my own story will come out on the 29th. I find that rather apropos. Although I've written stories for as long as I can remember, it wasn't … Continue reading Short Story Month
Yay for me!
I like happy coincidences. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Facebook reminded me that I had a flash fiction piece published two years ago today. And I've received word that one of my short stories will appear in the 2018 issue of Clamor, the University of Washington-Bothell's literary journal. It will come out on 29th May. … Continue reading Yay for me!
Superstitious?
I hope everyone has a happy day today. I've always thought the best way to stay out of trouble, whether or not you're superstitious, is to curl up somewhere comfy with a good book and just get lost in the pages.
World Book Day!
Today is World Book Day. How cool is that? As someone who has loved books and reading since I was little, it makes me happy that books have their own special day of recognition. I'm also amused that as I sat down to write this post, my Amazon delivery interrupted the process. I don't mind. … Continue reading World Book Day!

I haven't done any writing of note, but that's not to say I haven't done any writing. Given that even a few weeks ago the amount of my writing was … Continue reading ROW80 Challenge Check-in
My kind of holiday!
I'll admit, it's not quite as good as my birthday. But still tons of fun. And like most other cats, I do try to enjoy myself whenever possible. I will probably curl up with a good book at some point. However you choose to celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful day.
Another writing challenge
Ooo, look! A writing challenge! Can I keep it?! Can I? Can I? Pleeeeeeease?!!! Writing challenges. They're like pretty, shiny objects that I just have to have. Or a furry little kitty cat that I want to curl up with and cuddle. I will hug it and squeeze it and call it George. But it … Continue reading Another writing challenge
For the love of letters
Letters. Who doesn't enjoy getting a letter? Sadly, in this age of text messages and emails, usually the letters that come in my post box are addressed to "Occupant". Or "Home Owner". And if it's not that, it's a bill. Bleh. I've always loved getting mail. When I was a young girl, I remember how … Continue reading For the love of letters
Writing Into the Unknown
My poor blog. It’s sat neglected for months now. And it’s not like I haven’t been writing, because I have. Unfortunately, I haven’t been all that good about posting stuff here. I’ve thought about it. Big deal. So now I’m here, actively trying to be a better blog owner. And more importantly, a better writer. To … Continue reading Writing Into the Unknown
