  • The 100 Books Project: Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue.

    “I would hope, however, that we might think of these things as what they are: arbitrary fashions of formal language that we must attend to just as we dress according to the random dictates of the fashions of our moment.

    “Better dead than undead.” “Alice in Deadland” by Mainak Dhar Anyone who knows me well will know that, among my extensive list of Loves, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and zombies are pretty high on the list.

  • The “Look” Challenge.

    Over at Frame Tale, Kate did a challenge post that she had come across that I just had to give a stab at myself. I love these little games, where you get the chance to showcase a little bit of your work. It’s also pretty useful for those days when you don’t have much else…

  • An Autumnal Antholgy Contest.

    After giving it some thought, I’ve decided that I’m going to go ahead and do it. I’m going to hold a writing contest.

Still, we’d better move quickly before they start taking to the idea of Human flesh to break their fast.’” As you may have realized, not only did I skipp Sunday’s Round…

  • Sunshine Award!

    So, I was in the middle of writing a pretty lack-luster Writer’s Quote post just to fill up space yesterday, when I get an email letting me know that the ever lovely mrsbongle has nominated me for the Sunshine Award! My computer kind of freaked out on me yesterday, so I didn’t get a chance…

  • RoW80 Check-In: What Happened to the Weekend?

    ”     ‘We’re paying you to care about rescuing the girl,’ Estialog stated simply. ‘What happens afterwards is categorically none of your business.’      ‘And if we have a moral concern?’      Tayahyla snorted again, but held back comment. ‘An odd bunch of brigands,’ Estialog murmured, ‘to be concerned with morality.’      ‘We never claimed to…
