Of Drunk Fairies and Banshees

March 23, 2023 JessLeave a comment

Do you ever get yourself fully into a project and suddenly get a perfect idea for the next one, even though you aren't finished? I rank this phenomenon right up there with the urge to clean the house when homework is due (my room was never cleaner than the night before a paper was due… Continue reading Of Drunk Fairies and Banshees

1, and a fAngus Review

March 9, 2023 JessLeave a comment

Tomorrow is my last day in corporate work for about a year. That means it's snowing tonight for my commute in the morning (which on the best days takes 45 minutes), because that's how the universe works, right? Best things in life are worth the effort. Next week is spring break: we'll see how far… Continue reading 1, and a fAngus Review

Spamcation

November 30, 2020 JessLeave a comment

I'm on vacation. I'm supposed to be in Cocoa Beach, but Covid is an asshole so I'm home instead, working on the Banshee book and ignoring the puppy gleefully chewing on my dirty clothes pile. Sigh. I suppose I should do something about it before Minerva swallows a sock and has yet another cone-venture. Great… Continue reading Spamcation

Sunday is for Self-Care

June 28, 2020 JessLeave a comment

Ragnar, contemptuous of fAngus's wrath, naps belly-up I did not nap today. I'd like to - radiation tired is still a thing in my house right now. But I had deadlines. Writing group is on Sunday afternoons, and I've been terribly behind in both my feedback AND my next submission. I ate way too many… Continue reading Sunday is for Self-Care

Thus Ends Frankenboob

June 24, 2020June 24, 2020 Jess3 Comments

Today was my last day of radiation therapy. As promised, it was significantly easier than chemo, but I'm not normal either. Well, that's a stupid turn of phrase for me...I'm never normal. Um...it's not as easy as no treatment, let's go with that. The first 2.5 weeks were deceptively easy with only a weird reverse… Continue reading Thus Ends Frankenboob

A Writing Prompt

February 12, 2020 Jess1 Comment

I'm not a jealous writer. I firmly believe that there are some themes and ideas that just bubble up out of some sort of Jungian subconscious pool of humanity, and they happen at the same time to brainpans all over the world. I suppose the metaphysical or psychological exploration of WHY it happens would be… Continue reading A Writing Prompt

The Well of What Ifs

December 6, 2019 Jess2 Comments

Did you ever see The Seventh Sign? I love that movie: underrated horror starring Demi Moore, Michael Biehn, and Jurgen Prochnow about the seven Biblical seals that herald the end of the world. The end of humanity doesn't come in a fiery whoosh a-la Sodom and Gomorrah, but in a silent emptiness of infertility as… Continue reading The Well of What Ifs

The Banshee Inside

June 28, 2019 JessLeave a comment

I expect I'm the same as every other writer out there: I have at least four potential novels, and more short story ideas than I can count, vying for attention. I used to keep a running list of "priority" topics in a naive and earnest attempt at organization: I'm a business analyst and project manager… Continue reading The Banshee Inside
