I L O V E D teaching last Sunday’s workshop. Can’t wait to give the next one. Want to give lots and lots of them.

Inspired by the Man Bun…A story… Mr. Al and I’ve been having fun on FaceBook with all the ManBun talk. As a result, I decided to retell the Rapunzel story featuring the ManBun. Here we go– With a jolt, Rapunzel realized someone had shouted her name. It was such a surprise she very nearly pricked … Continue reading Something Silly

Oh, there are several scenes banging away in my head, but they’re not out of my skull and that frustrates Moi. Fortunately, yesterday, between laundry … Continue reading This n’ That

And, alas, I’ve not yet learned how to bi-locate, … Continue reading Worldcon Impressions From a First Timer

It all started with my finding a critique partner. Yay! Fresh Eyes!! I’ve now got someone to look through my pre-edited drafts and point out my wordy habits.
