I have a short story called “Estimated Value” in this anthology, a tale about the fae and pickers–people who pick up antiques and ephemera for a living (but who don’t leave changelings in return). Other authors in the anthology include: Ron Collins, Karen L. Abrahamson, Brigid Collins, Dayle A. Dermatis, Olivia Wylie, Leah R. Cutter, […]

The people who pick at scabs…”natural talents”…backstage self Another one. GAHHHHHHHH. I have stuff to do. But here goes. … Reminding myself this morning that I am utterly, recklessly, relentlessly, brutally fearless about some things (well, if and when I let myself know them) and that I also take it for granted that everyone should

The movie Polite Society…Banh Mi Factory…pain, resets, and woo Yesterday Ray and I went to the movie Polite Society, a Bollywood-esque Desi movie about sisters and kicking ass. All the characters are delightfully flawed. If you get a chance to see the move in theaters, do go! And watch for the stuff happening in the

Clearing out what I know so the unknown can slap me upside the head…what is mine, liminality maybe? This is another thinky one; I finished one section of the current book and, while it went well, there’s a big mess of plot threads to clean up in its aftermath and I don’t know where to

Josephine, a burlesque cabaret dream play…Ray’s new hair…Sarasota birthday jaunt I don’t know where to start, which is a good sign that I need to dump a bunch of tangled thoughts. I tried to keep this organized at least somewhat, but toward the end it gets very long and thinky. I needed to write it,

Poem experiment: write it, read it, publish it. At the Mote Aquarium, May 1. Unrhymed. One of those poems that started out as a throat-clearing exercise, but ended with me connecting some dots about larger things that have been on my mind. I took the day off and went to the Mote Aquarium to write

Anger…What is mine?–Or who is mine?…Somebody Else’s Problem Another long one. I feel like I should *feel like* apologizing for the length, but I don’t feel apologetic for taking up the space, not really. If you need it you need it; if you don’t you don’t, that’s all. … So last year I worked on

My subconscious has been working on overdrive to work out some things lately, and I’m trying to get caught up enough that I can keep things mentally sorted for myself. This post has one AdJ from April 25, then two side quests from before that. The AdJ is the “main” stuff I’m working on; the

Current thoughts on the ethics of AI…how I’m going to handle it going forward…love and disobedience and flaw I’m going to talk generative AI here, and will likely piss off everyone regardless of their current opinion on the subject. Please keep in mind the following: –I am not lawful good. I’m chaotic good, dual-classed as

I’m going to talk the ethics of AI here (specifically the ethics of generative AI) and will likely piss off everyone regardless of their current opinion on the subject. Please keep in mind the following: I am not lawful good. I’m chaotic good, dual-classed as a sorcerer-rogue. Or I’m an inheritor of Granny Weatherwax,
