"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*

    I'm using the yWriter5 program as well! I've been using it for a while but I'm still not sure if it is going to do more good than not in the end. Lol. I was surprised that lots of people acutally do that kind of stuff, I usually just type it up when I think of it.

    one question: Where is the writing?!

    seriously, i miss my regular diet of legitimately good writing. you're depriving me of things to read by not writing me things to read. and that, ma'am, is cruel.
