Writing and Other Afflictions. If it was easy, everyone would do it. –Jimmy Dugan, A League of Their Own. Clarion Write-A-Thon Part IV. On June 19, 2015. Once again into the breach, dear friends! A 14-year-old American boy of Japanese heritage enters a prep school for shapeshifters and must figure out which shape is his while staying one step ahead of the federal investigator tracking him down for the bank fraud that got him into the school. It’d mean a lot if you could support me. Enter your comment here.

Writing and Other Afflictions. If it was easy, everyone would do it. –Jimmy Dugan, A League of Their Own. Early Plot Questions: Does My Hero Have To Save The World? On July 7, 2015. In the end, you know, all I can do is write the story I want to write, but I’m still at the stage where I have the freedom to decide what that is. If there’s an internal journey AND a world-saving journey, then I need to figure out why THIS hero? What makes him* the one who can do this? I do think that for a series, there sho...

Usually I’ve done a brief celebratory blogpost whenever a new story or essay comes out, but I’ve been remiss of late. I’m behind by several stories. My story “Griefbunny”. Comes to mind) and was helmed by one of my all-time favorite authors (Cat Valente) for several years. It also received a very kind write-up in Tangent. Good work, little story!

The Book: Bordello girls solve a series of murders during a steampunk version of the alaskan gold rush written by Elizabeth Bear. The Boy Who Lost Fairyland. By Catherynne M. Valente.

Just busy being awesome. 2014 in 140 characters! I’ve spent most of my Christmas vacation sleeping outrageous amounts, interspersed with playing Sim City on my iPad, and it has been GLORIOUS.

Archived Posts from this Category. June 11, 2012. Any day now…. Posted by Erin Stocks under Baby J. If I don’t update with something, I probably won’t until post-baby, and who knows what’s that’s going to be like (aside from everything I’ve read and been told…). So here I am, with a few paragraphs. 38 weeks tomorrow, and J was full term (technically) last week, so I’ve been waiting impatiently, doing whatever I can to encourage her that. Is the time for her to take action. Yesterday, I even mowed. Exhaus...
