I’m almost on time. Getting writing time is … complicated. I have to find something for the children to do that is so interesting they can’t wrench themselves away to interrupt me every three or four minutes looking for the usual validation appropriate for their age. Which, as delightful as such is, is still incredibly... Continue Reading →
A Way Out
Fine, fine. We're all doing fine, here. Nope. Nobody's losing it. Not even a little. I swear. Okay, in all honesty, we're actually going pretty well, here at Caer Dave. Things are shockingly normal, though I keep waiting for it all to get really weird, really quickly. I don't know how long this is going... Continue Reading →
I Confess
I'm at a bit of a loss for what to call this chapter. It may actually be only the first part. I'm ... writing something serially is weird, and full of ... It requires a certain Semper Gumbi attitude. Which is no doubt good for me. Anyway, Mrs. Dave's schedule has changed, yet again. It's... Continue Reading →
Shot in the Dark
Things are gettin’ weird, y’all. Mostly, it’s the very air of normalcy with which my fellow Americans are going about this thing that’s making me twitchy. That and the sheer amount of Things which I am accomplishing. Writing not among them. This is actually the first time I’ve managed to sit down since last week.... Continue Reading →
It’s Just Sparkling Isolation
Quarantine Day #1 – Fires rage out of control. The TPocalypse has left countless dead in the streets, their backsides unclean. Your grandmother was right: you should have put on clean drawers this morning. Rice and beans have climbed in price, and we’re prying the silver out of our own fillings, just to eat. Darkness...

Helping Hand
It's a day. It's already been a day. And a week. A month. A year. I know several folks who are definitely nonplussed by 2020. In another week or so, I fully expect most of my circles to be downright vexed. It's proving to be ... fraught. Most fraught. Of course, when things are fraught,... Continue Reading →
And Up
It's that day, and here you are, and here I am. And I have more fiction! Yay, fiction! I've been focusing on consistency of production, recently, over absolute wordcount. And I think it's working, actually. I've been focusing on getting a manuscript page per day as a minimum, and after a week, I sat down... Continue Reading →
Up and Out
Happy Tuesday to all you fine sophonts! After the Snowmageddon of last week (seriously, two full snow days, and two 2-hour delays), and then - and then!! - a blasted holiday weekend, I'm finally getting into restoring my poor, shattered and tattered routines. On the upside, I'm managing to get traction toward a renewed work-out... Continue Reading →
Hard Lessons
Peoples of the Future! I write to you from the distant past! Some of you will be reading this year(s?) in the future (like, maybe, almost 24 hours after I post it *cough*). I can only imagine the wonders your eyes have seen. The advances humanity has made in that time. The jokes, the memes,... Continue Reading →
Deep Down
It’s the time of year, again, where the amount of things doesn’t really fit into the time allotted for them. For us, we’ve had Mrs. Dave’s ‘rents here for the last few days. It’s been great to have other eyes on the Wee Horde, and they all enjoyed it, too. My brain took enough of... Continue Reading →
