Various Sundries: Desks, Twitter, and Trendy Writing
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Oh my god, guys! I’ve been so busy! So busy that I half-started a post on Wednesday’s YA Highway Roadtrip Wednesday Topic (because, as someone about to give away all of her furniture, move, and get new stuff–including a new desk; I can’t wait!–I have a lot to say about it!). But alas, it’s been [...]

Teaser Tuesday is a Banana (and is packing heat)
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
What’s that you say? That it’s Tuesday? Did you bring your coat? Oh yes, right. Teaser time. Irene and Loril (previously) haven’t found his dad yet–but they have found what seems to be his brother. Under a less-than-savory pretext, they manage to get themselves invited to his home. Paulie Gallagher’s indigo-bright gaze, unblinking, regarded them [...]

Phoebe Talking about Painting Things Phoebe Eats (among other things)
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
I finished this painting a few nights ago. I was working on it, very sporadically, for probably about six months. Still, I’m pretty happy with the result. It’s based on a photo from a book I got from a used book sale–Foods of the World: Cooking of the British Isles. All the photos are like [...]

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 [...]

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: “That’s your sister? You’re so different.” Irene [...]

Body Image and Truth and Teaser Tuesday
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Kristin Otts has issued a challenge: The truth is, ladies and gentlemen, perfection is boring as hell. We are human beings. We are as diverse as the earth we live on. And we need to embrace it. So, lovely readers, I have a challenge for you. I challenge you to help me start a wave [...]

My Mom-Mom Always Said, “Life is Good!” (She Was Also Really into Clown Paintings)
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
This is pretty much what life’s looked like lately. If you think martinis and meatball and television with my favorite person in the world are a bad thing, well then, you don’t know jack. (Because really, it’s pretty terrific.) In other terrific news, querying is going well. I’ve had a much more enthusiastic response to [...]

Teaser Tuesday
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Do you want to meet my mermaids? You know you do. It all started with an argument. With a girl turning her face away from him, her shoulders high and tense, before diving in to the greeny water. It wasn’t as if Loril and Atargatis hadn’t had this fight before—wasn’t as if this was a [...]

Excerpty-doo
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
I’m enjoying writing SEAS RUN DRY. The contemporary setting, after two near-future SF novels and a novel set largely on an alien planet, feels fresh and fun. Not to mention it’s all hella beachy. Like this bit, from today’s writing: Garishly bright T-shirts and tiny, shimmering bathing suits dangled from the racks and walls. Stands [...]
