I missed June entirely. Oops.

But here’s where I’ll mention what I’m working on, at least:

Novels:
Otherkin (It’ll probably end up with a different title) – Urban fiction
Something New (ditto — I’m apparently horrid with titles) – High fantasy
Disconnected – Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk
Eliza Splashdown and the Clockwork Man – YA steampunk series opener
Eliza Splashdown and the Aerial Assault – YA steampunk #2
Comics:
Ash Girl – with Georgia Artist UnknownBinaries
Essays:
On Friendship and Saying What Needs to be Said… or Not. – Self explanatory, yes?
On Writing (Is it pretentious to call it what Mr. King did? Yikes)
On Depression – Because it’s either this, or slit my wrists.

At some point, I’ll begin posting links to art; I was gifted a Wacom tablet for my birthday this year. It remains, aside from some truly beloved Barbies, the best purchased birthday present I’ve ever gotten.

Let me be clear, folks – this blog has become a last chance effort; I have to find a way to get these words out of my head, or I’m going to go crazy.

Flash Fiction #1

They lay in wait. They lay in terror. They fumbled and fell and ran like blind sheep herded by the worst kind of dog, biting and undead, all at once. Some kind of amorphous thing; amoebic and gelled. It moved over with coldness. It breathed with fear. It slurched and gumbled. It bworked and lerbed. It gave rise to a new language that no one wanted to repeat, but everyone could understand. It was the language of hunger, consuming, digestion, excretion. It was primal, whatever it was.

It was coming.

Poem #1

It’s hard,
sometimes,
to think back
and remember

the person I was.
Occasionally,
I am
ashamed of her.
Occasionally,
she is
ashamed of me.

I suppose that we
are often both right
about the reasons
for our shame, but
I also suppose that we
should be more forgiving

of one another.
She didn’t know
what I do,

and I
am still learning.

Projects

I’ll talk about some of them here, but this will end up a more public journal, something that the world can see, rather than a diary of my private life, which we all know is about as exciting to read as the ingredient list on an All-Fiber cereal box.

For now, this will stand as a first post, as a way to say hello, and jump on in.
