That Sinking Feeling
photo by Jim Digritz The downstairs neighbor woke me up with a text. Is your sink clogged? Not that I’m aware of, I reply. Kitchen sink? Yup. So I check. I drag out of bed and run it for a couple of minutes. Seems fine, I text back. I wait, hoping in vain, knowing what’s…

Akio’s Journal – April 13th
I found another one of Akio’s journal entries from just a few weeks before the events in Headless. It’s kind of personal, but at this point, he’s probably okay with me sharing it. Considering all he’s been through, I’m sure a little maudlin complaining about a past girlfriend is one of the least of his…

A Knife to the Muse’s Throat (My NaNo Win)

That’s National Novel Writing Month, if you’re not familiar. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’m also putting in a lot…

A Writing Machine
I’ve been MIA for a while, once again. This time, I went on my honeymoon, which was amazing. It was nearly a month long and an absolutely fantastic time. We went to the British Isles. And bonus points for you, if you know the difference between that and Great Britain and the U.K. To make…

Progress Update 002 — Jumping Heads
So, yeah… I’m late this week. But I don’t suppose anyone is chomping at the bit to read my posts promptly on Tuesdays. If you are, I’m sorry. Things get derailed sometimes. Life takes its own course. But here we are. First off, I removed the “Progress Update” part of the title of last week’s…
