it's a convoluted mess
I used the word writing eighteen times here. *cough* Every January like clockwork, my brain starts to think, I should do another Project 365. And then I have to remind myself, NO, YOU DOLT, YOU HATED ALL THREE TIMES YOU DID IT BEFORE. And the urge mostly passes. But for a few weeks, my brain grapples for something creative to glom onto because the turn of the calendar into a new year does weird things… Keep reading…Let old habits through…
Happy Halloween? It certainly wasn’t The Halloween Blizzard of 1991 (TM), but Minnesota was still very Minnesota-y for the occasion. Pouring rain that turned into snow that turned into slush. Slush everywhere. State Patrol reported 169 accidents between midnight and 2PM. Because people forget that they have lived in Minnesota their entire lives and cannot remember how to fucking drive the first time it snows for the season.

Two thousand one hundred words. Give or take. Writing about writing. Story Code Name: Wicked Also known as: The Wicked White Monstrosity Fun fact: The story was code named Wicked well before the band within was named Wicked White. Fun fact #2: Bob suggested the name Wicked White for the band without knowing the story’s code name was Wicked. Premise: After Hallie’s life goes off the rails, she upends things further and moves to the… Keep reading…A million miles of road…
Minnesota Weather Update: It snowed. Two days in a row. We got about half a foot of snow, which is way more than the rest of this winter combined. Will we get more? It’s only the end of March, so we very well could. I’ve been digging around in my iTunes library because I still have a couple thousand files that have fucking DRM protection on them. Remember when songs you bought off iTunes were… Keep reading…Against the glass…
