the bare bones of the things are pretty good. You need to whittle down quite a lot of cringeworthy nonsense before you can get to them, but once you have, here's what is left ( Read more... )

When they found him, he made for the most obvious Does Not Belong Here persona that has ever been seen within the walls of a Planned Parenthood clinic. For one thing, he was alone--everyone they had found so far had been either wrapped in the arms of their most trusted companion, or was desperate to know if that person had already gotten out ( Read more... )

We have a few projects in the oven right now. I'm so freaking sick of Mist Country that I haven't looked at it in a month, and feel exactly no guilt over that matter. I've been rereading the first* draft of Sun Man, and it could use a real hack n slash, but it's not terrible. That might be a distant project, if someone asks what we're doing next ( Read more... )

The logic here is that, I'm going to be talking to my audience as if they were ( Read more... )

So I had this wonderful dream about Beauty and the Beast. Alternate universe? Retelling? Something in there ( Read more... )

Ok yesterday was useful information regarding Ferdie's family etc but ultimately not what you wanted to happen, which is part of why it ground to such a screeching halt as far as pace goes.
