I really wanted to write two stories this week. And I still may. I fell far behind today though, and it had nothing to do with the story. While I try to be the world’s toughest boss, the one time I don’t have to write is when I have a migraine. Which I got this […]
Some of this isn’t new information, just affirmation of what I already knew. This got long — going behind a cut.

I finished the fourth short story for the Baker’s Dozen challenge! Twyla learned early how to fight. The kids knew she was different, but she figured that was just her African-American dad and her Japanese mom. Now she learns just how different she is: she’s not even human. How will she balance all
Just finished typing up the new story for the week, “Slipping the Leash.” I’ll do editing on it tomorrow night, and publish it. I’m very pleased with this story. I found the ending very satisfying. I don’t know if it’ll make any sense to anyone who isn’t me. I’m also nervous about this story, since

The path to finishing this week’s story has an interesting arc. (And by finished I mean the hand-written draft. I will still take tomorrow and Friday to type it up.) I wrote the first 1000 words on Sunday. Had to run at the beginning 3 times, so it actually took me about 2 hours just

Let me start by saying that I love my new house. Fall is here, the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and I cannot say how much I adore watching the season’s approach from my backyard. I do not regret buying my place, no matter how much chaos my finances are in currently. However,
I have two lovelies today! First, I have new fiction posted! The third story in the Baker’s Dozen challenge. Devil? Angel? Gabriella has lived all her life following other people’s plans, using their definitions of her body, allowing them to judge her abilities. Finally, though, Gabriella is ready to take matters into her own hands.
Tonight I “finished” the third story. I like where the story went, how it wraps up. However, the start of the story doesn’t point at that ending. I wrote this story out by hand. I have a couple of days to type it up. I suspect I’ll be doing a lot of redrafting along the

I started the next story. Only got about 1500 words done on it. I’m somewhat disappointed with myself for not getting more done. It’s the weekend, I have the time, I should be writing a lot. On the other hand, it was difficult to start tonight. I even told myself I didn’t have to write

I finished the second story last night. I edited it today, and published it. It’s available for free for the next week here on the challenge page. It is also available on Smashwords for $.99. I will post the links to the Amazon and Barnes & Nobel versions when they’re available. When Sarah finds a
