42. Forty-two. Yup.

"But nothing can get you lost faster than a map." - Percival Everett, after a lengthy discussion of how he has to outline every paragraph of every chapter of every book

Prose is my one true escape in life. If I only had more time to get away...

People who know me call me an optimist; people who know me well call me an optimistic cynic. I love being an oxymoron...

"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet." - Bob Dylan

"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams

Life is a wonderful high, and it has no ill side effects. Except death.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Sailors with extra thumbs, a quiet warrior woman and a stoic wizardess, a small boy and a wry captain, a mysterious magic relic that only a woman can touch, and lots and lots of terrifying seagulls. And the most magical thing of all is that this is a story that is actually finished! So if you want to read a fantasy novella on the high seas, take a peak at A Pearl From the Chaos!

I'm experimenting again...*laughs* Thanks to a prompt from ssmm, check out my newest serial - a noir mystery that's not quite sure what to make of itself. I'd really like some insight on this one, since it's a new style to me... *bats eyes*

    It never ceases to amaze me... wait... that's not true, there's nothing to be amazed about this... anyway... how many gold trophies you have to other trophies. You prolly have one of the highest gold to silver/bronze/HM on the site. And it's easy to see how, you're a great writer.
