“Cliffhanger”
The world feels like it’s turning,
or is this just how it always is?
Billions of voices yearning
for however being empowered feels. Continue reading “Rock Song – Saving Ze World – SD”

“Red-Tail”
Perched above her range
the queen surveys. I bow to
her magnificence.

Peripheral blurs,
Light fades as vision caves in,
Trapped in the blackness.

Creativity Sessions: Let Your Characters Write the Story
I forget sometimes that others can help pull you out of creative ruts. I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself to finish Manuscript: Alpha of “Jaed and Aston” this week, mostly by telling my alpha readers that I was almost done.
Then, I hit a narrative point that felt messy and too drawn out. I fussed over wording, I tried to find a shortcut (which I do not like admitting), I brainstormed a whole bunch. And then I happened upon an interview that gave me the jolt I needed. Continue reading “Creativity Sessions: Let Your Characters Write the Story”
Haiku Sunday – Border

This great river makes
a better boundary than

Not a Real Post or Update, but Close Enough
Sorry for the radio silence this week. I’ve been stressed, and Jessie is apparently working triple-shifts, which I did not know were a thing in the 21st century. Tomorrow is also not the start of my weekend, as I am covering for someone on Saturday. At least the office will be devoid of people I’m supposed to interact with.
It’s all good though, because next week, we’ll be on yet another road trip adventure to a cottage on a river! Romantic getaway, you say??? Continue reading “Not a Real Post or Update, but Close Enough”
Haiku Sunday – Blood
“Blood”
If red sunrise means
that blood was spilled, would not the
sun always be red?

BLOODLINE and Flat Characters
Netflix’s original series Bloodline finally crossed my radar a few weeks ago when my sister was in town. I ended up watching about 4 episodes of the first season with her as she prepared for the release of season 2.
I re-watched season 1 in its entirety after she left, because I can’t just leave a story unfinished – that’s ludicrous! I’ve now started season 2, and I’m not sure if I’m going to finish it. Spoiler Alert – I’m going to discuss season 1’s events freely, but I’ll leave out season 2 since I’m only on episode 3 or 4.
Haiku Sunday – Earth / Chi
“Earth / Chi”
The oak wavers not;
stable, inexorable,
spreading its root wide.
