Why I Won’t Quit Worrying and Love the Golden-Vagina Stream: The Anti-Science Argument of ABC’s LOST
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Three days after the LOST finale, the smoke is beginning to clear. My own rage over the direction that the finale took us is starting to subside. While I could focus on the bits that made me most angry initially—the hackneyed, soft-focus reunions that weren’t true to some of the characters (Shannon and Sayid? Really?); [...]

Teaser Tuesday: Shopping at the Salvo
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
A week since my last post? Really? Well, yes. I’ve been writing–I’ve hit 30,000 words on Seas Run Dry!–and brainstorming, not to mention really wrapped up in a certain television show’s finale. Expect an epic blog post about that sometime over the next day or so. But I didn’t forget about you, dear readers! Today’s [...]

Teaser Tuesday: Structure and Sleeplessness
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Before I post today’s teaser, I want to talk a little bit about the structure of my current manuscript. Seas Run Dry takes place over the course of a single week. This is true for several reasons–for one, I wanted to try to create a densely packed narrative. For another, I wanted to highly the [...]

Why LOST Sucks
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
I’ve watched LOST since the middle of the first season. That’s a hundred and eighteen hours of what I had thought were islandy goodness (okay, okay, I probably shouldn’t even bother trying to pretend to count season 2 and most of season 3 as “islandy goodness;” let’s call it 80 hours of islandy goodness). I [...]

Teaser Tuesday: The Date
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
My teaser today, which draws inspiration from the infamous Tillie of Asbury Park (pictured above), comes from Loril (merman extraordinaire) and Irene’s first date. Irene’s been drinking, but Loril doesn’t know that yet. He’s more concerned with how her younger sister, Evie, just stomped off in a huff: (Teaser removed)

Goodreads Review: Nick and the Glimmung
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Nick and the Glimmung by Philip K. Dick My rating: 2 of 5 stars I don’t like David Lynch. I know, I know. This probably makes me a bad person. (And, I know, too, that you’re probably shaking your head, asking how this could possibly be relevant to this review, but I promise you that [...]

Goodreads Review: The White Queen
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory My rating: 4 of 5 stars I first encountered Philippa Gregory while working in a library. I was desperate for a juicy read, and a co-worker suggested The Other Bolelyn Girl. It definitely pulled me in, and, though I loved it enough to get my mother hooked on Gregory’s [...]

A Meat-dream Come True
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
My husband had a dream. No, really, I mean he literally had a dream. A dream about burgers. Burgers that were inside out. You know, with the bread on the inside. “I’m going to make you something special for dinner this week,” he kept promising me. Special indeed.
