I might have some luddite sympathies. I had a Honda Fit for ten years. I loved that car. I don't love cars in general. THAT car was my special happy car. In 2017, I got rear-ended and was told replacing the bumper was within $200-300 of totaling my car. It was logical we look at… Continue reading Opinion: “Upgrading”
Story: The Swamp Witch
Drip. Drip. Drip. It wasn't quite water. It was too oily, too black, and definitely too slow. Almost like a black liquid mercury. It dripped from something which might be a leaf. They drooped down in long lines from something which might look like old gnarled trees. The needle-like leaves hung with the viscus liquid.… Continue reading Story: The Swamp Witch
Life events: Air Quality
There isn't going to be a real post today. The air quality has been awful for the past week because of the fires/smoke. Sunday I was in terrible shape and couldn't function. Monday was better. Today is still a little better, but it means I'm missing my Tuesday post. Since I am trying to be… Continue reading Life events: Air Quality
Politics: We need more representatives
This is a simple argument. We need to expand congress. Actually, I think we need to expand it A LOT. Currently there are 100 Senators and 435 members in the House of Representatives. We can't change the number of senators without adding states or radically changing the constitution... which is an entirely different thing. The… Continue reading Politics: We need more representatives
Memories: Adoption Day
We adopted Riley, our dog, 5 years ago this June. This was pre-covid. Hell, this was pre-parenthood. So much has changed. Somehow, doggo, not as much. We regularly have to convince friends and family that we did not stuff the dog. Because 95% of the pictures of him are the dog sound asleep. It's his… Continue reading Memories: Adoption Day
Short Story: Loop Depression
Has anyone else noticed I am terrible at titles? Sometimes I've even skipped them entirely. Sorry folks. Titles might be the hardest thing I have to try to come up with. I'll keep trying. I tapped my finger on the desk, staring out the window. The teacher was talking, but I hardly listened. I wanted… Continue reading Short Story: Loop Depression
Life: Cooking
I don't love cooking. I don't mind it, but it isn't a passion. It's a necessity. I like food. I enjoy eating things that are tasty. I enjoy trying new foods. Cooking... if I had a replicator from Star Trek, I might not learn to really cook with fresh ingredients. Except maybe bread. Kneading dough… Continue reading Life: Cooking
Short Story: Iseki
I am trying to write short stories. They may not be very good because they are fast and rarely edited. I would love feedback regardless - what do you like? What confuses you? Do you like the POV or should it have been different? To anyone who gives me feedback - THANK YOU. I didn't… Continue reading Short Story: Iseki
Short Story
Well, it's a thing I did. I'm not sure it's even a story, but it was kind of fun to write and I AM going to start writing more, so bad writing is better than none. Kyrie skipped forward over the boards. It was another lovely evening and the bright starlight illuminated every step as… Continue reading Short Story
Work: Paying Authors?
I've added a page called "Writings" which is where I will link out anything I publish. I might try to shift all my short stories and such that I've posted on my blog somehow, but I'm not sure how I want to do that yet. I say something important there. Ironically, right after I wrote… Continue reading Work: Paying Authors?
