• Sleepwalker.

    October is an exciting month for me, with three publications (so far, eh? EH?) in the books for this month. This first is my story “Sleepwalker” in Alban Lake Press’s Potter’s Field 6, which is currently available in both print and digital. There are plenty of other good stories in there, too, but, of course,…

  • Ask, and ye shall receive…

    It’s another Monday of another week, a week I’m glad is over because it’s been a strange one. Not bad, which is good, just a little off. This week isn’t much better, but I’ll shoulder through it all the same. The important thing is to just take each day as it comes, with a particular…

  • Which one is the BEST?

    There’s a good chance a series might be coming out of this. Prepare yourself from a Rant About Work that Turns into a Metaphor About Writing, number 0002. “Which one is the BEST?” Not our gelato case, but it’s similar enough. So, I work at a coffee bar in a grocery store, including a gelato…

  • Magical Mornings.

    You know you’ve hit on something good when you can’t wait to get up in the morning. For quite some time now, I’ve managed to maintain my habit of waking up around six thirty in the morning (sometimes a little earlier, by natural inclination or by cuddly cats), getting my coffee, and then settling in…

  • I am a writer, and, like most writers, that means I have another job. It isn’t a glamorous job, this other job, and it’s not even a really good job. But it’s an easy job, one that doesn’t demand too much of me and is structured to allow me to use my mornings for my…

  • The Monday After a Weird Week.

    Last week was categorically a weird week. I’m the type of person who gets very set in her ways. I like repetition, I like structure, I like things being A Certain Way. Last week went so off the rails of my usual week that I knew it was bound to be an adventure. It’s good…

  • The fact that Shawn Proctor’s short story, “The Courier,” featured in last year’s World Unknown Review, is set in a college makes me wonder if the fates created a delay in my interviews just so that the timing would work out that it would be September’s Featured Story. Whether it was destiny or not, you…

  • Stardate: Sept 5, 2016.

    Hooray for Mondays! Those of you who have been paying attention know that I’ve been doing a “reset” every Monday, where I sort of sit down, take account of everything I’ve been doing, and start up on some new things to keep everything fresh and exciting. This Monday’s a little different. It’s Labor Day, a…

  • Even if we’re three days into it, I’d like to welcome you all to the month of September! I honestly don’t know where August went; I swear, it was right here a second ago, but I’m really glad I can start getting excited about Halloween now without getting side-eyed by people who think August is…

  • Good Monday, everyone! In a bold statement against tradition (or, perhaps just a benefit of not working a traditional M-F job), Mondays are easily my favorite day of the week. Monday’s the day when I start over, swipe clean the messy slate of the prior week, and look forward with fresh eyes and a new…
