I’ve had a pretty rough week so far, so instead of the post I wanted to make, here’s an expansion on a comment I made to my flatmate the other night, while she was watching The Mindy Project. It took me a while to encapsulate this idea properly, but here it is. I’m making plans… Continue reading From the Vault: No Guilty Pleasures
Go Outside
I love the amenities of modern life. Video games, the Internet, films, toaster ovens, books, on and on. As a writer, I am used to making myself a bit of a recluse, something of a hermit, tucked away in a solitary room where shelves heave with papers and the only sounds are the tapping of… Continue reading Go Outside
Flash Fiction: Hello Human
So Chuck Wendig coined the phrase Spammerpunk and I thought I’d get down on that. Hello human, Greetings from another human. I am human and interested in human things. Your planet which you call Earth has many resources important to humans. An offer generous to humans can be made. Many lucrative offers to other humans… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Hello Human
500 Words on Trolls
Yes. They’re real. They’re disgusting. They think they’re always right. But they don’t live under bridges; they live on the Internet. ‘Trolls’ is modern shorthand for people who use the broadcasting power and, occasionally, anonymity of the Internet to spew their opinions at people. No matter how ignorant or misinformed those opinions might be, these… Continue reading 500 Words on Trolls

Game Review: Poo
I know a lot of people who have a fondness for Cards Against Humanity. I can’t deny the appeal of a social lubricant with an unlimited number of players and a puerile sense of humor. The fact of the matter is, though, that there isn’t much game there. In my humble opinion, if you want… Continue reading Game Review: Poo
Flash Fiction: Strong Yet Subtle
For this week’s Flash Fiction Challenge over at Terribleminds, Picking Uncommon Apples, the random number gods bestowed upon me 28, 18, and 31. Here’s what came out of those choices! Ravenna slipped through the opened grate with the sort of smooth ease that only comes from years of practice. She heard the soft splashing behind… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Strong Yet Subtle
From the Vault: Change the Scene
I am recovering from a long and exhausting but very fulfilling weekend. While I regather myself to make more concerted efforts, I’m doing writing in multiple parts of the house, so this seems appropriate for a From the Vault moment. Flash Fiction tomorrow! I’ve been finding it difficult to write lately. I have a ton… Continue reading From the Vault: Change the Scene
Back On Track! … Sort of.
So this marks the first week in quite a few in which I managed to get a post up every weekday, resembling my old blogging schedule. I’m not quite back to the point where I have posts lined up far in advance, but I’m getting there. I’ll take progress where I can get it! I… Continue reading Back On Track! … Sort of.
White Weenies: A Hearthstone Deck Dossier
“Put your faith in the Light!” I’ve been making attempts to climb up the ladder of ranks in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft for the last few months, in my spare time. … And finally, I have a deck that, while certainly inspired mostly by another of the same name, has had enough tweaks that I… Continue reading White Weenies: A Hearthstone Deck Dossier
