Qwery Qwednesday

Evening everybody. I’ve calmed down a bit since yesterday. See? Part of it (a Large and Significant part?) is exhaustion. Over the past twenty-four hours or so, I took my manuscript through Round 1 of a serious thrashing editing. It’s now with betas (hi, guys), and I’ve promised myself not to touch it for at [...]

Teaser Tuesday: Oh my god, guys, I’m hyper!

Oh my God, guys! I have been incredibly busy! As you know, I recently moved. And so we’ve been getting settled, constructing Swedish furniture, reducing the number of cardboard boxes that surround us. And, on top of that, I’ve been writing!

Feast on the Occasion of Phoebe’s Necrotic Teeth

But mostly I spent the [...]

Something About Bees?

I’m trying to title my thesis. Since I struggle over finding the right name for individual poems–since I still haven’t found anything near appropriate for my sci-fi manuscript (referring to it in conversation as “that novelly thing”)–this is not an easy task for me. I had a place-holder title in my head for the last [...]

Salami Sandwich, Soup

This is a typical sort of lunch I make for myself when I’m eating at home alone. There’s a salami sandwich on rye with onions, provolone, lettuce and mayonnaise, some Campbell’s soup, and a big cup of Kool-Aid. I drink Kool-Aid because it’s incredibly cheap; also, by buying the little 25 cent packages of unsweetened [...]
