  • Letting the small step forward

    Letting the small step forward

    Card 52: Writing Down the Bones: Tell me everything you know about rutabaga and turnips. Or, rather, about the things that get ignored. The small things. I was going to write about coffee, but it was coming out far too bourgeois and sentimental. So let’s talk about vegetables. Brussel sprouts.…

    It’s the end

    And I admit, I’m largely unprepared, as I’ve done so little to get to this point. The year has flashed past, a comet highlighting my general inability to get stories out. Or is it that I’m simply feeling that way because…well, yeah. Because I didn’t get any stories out. I…

  • Out in July: Dark Haven

    “Jesus!” Sage clasped her hand over her thumping heart. “Well, we both rose from the dead, I guess. But nothing godly here.” Remy leaned against the wall opposite Sage’s door. Sage looked her over and had to disagree. The black button down shirt and baby blue tie looked hot paired…

  • Come write with us

    Writing retreats in Spain and Wales. Which one do you want to come to? One of the hardest things about writing is finding the time to do it–life gets in the way in every imaginable permutation possible. The gum stuck to the dog, the kids scribbling on the walls, the…
