    It’s not midnight! Happy Halloween! Happy All Hallow’s Eve! Happy All Hallow’s Read! Happy everything! It will come as no surprise to anyone who has been here or took a sec to flip back through my posts that I yet again, in grand spooky season tradition, didn’t have anything to show for myself until about…

  • In which breathing is difficult

    The last time I wrote here about a shooting was 2012. I was heartsick, and it’s no less painful to hear about another school, and another, and another, and stores and places of faith and homes. Twenty-one lost in the Uvalde school with parents begging for aid. To not only be denied assistance from the…

  • On the cusp of change

    Or hopefully I am, anyway.  (Thirty-three has yet to take me out! Would you look at that!) The recent efforts toward change in my life have made me reflective, the hour a strange kind of nostalgic for the almosts and life events missed. I’m thinking about all the ways I held back or was held…

  • In which the rabbits are rather serious

    This is a draft I half started at the beginning of December and got too busy to finish. I’m continuing now. Fair warning: this is an absolute mess. I’m at work desperately trying to keep my brain on task rather than chasing all the thought rabbits there ever were. I’m hard pressed to feel motivated…

  • Most of my plants are still alive

    And so am I, and, as far as I know, everyone close to me. I’m anxious, but I’ll take it. All Hallow’s Read gift for you all! I hope it finds you as safe and as in much good spirits as you can muster this year. This was not the adventure we asked for, but…

  • Recent idle thoughts

    I have a lot of thoughts about shit going on. Those are the Big, Heartbroken, Angry, Mourning, Painfully Desperate Hope thoughts. But life is still going on, (which I’m continually surprised feels absurd, by the way) and my brain offers me things I don’t really know what to do with. It’s been half an age…

  • All Hallow’s Read 2019 for real now

    I don’t have near as much as I hoped and dreamed to offer, buuuuut I’ve officially been awake way too long on too little sleep, so I’m just going to dump what I have while I’m thinking about it and before I pass out. Without further ado, and with much love, for you: The Full…

  • All Hallow’s Read 2019

    Every year I swear up and down I’m not going to put off writing for All Hallow’s Read until the last minute. For the most part I have been writing, but the finishing is also important, and not so much of that has been happening. I have exactly one completed piece. Just the one. I’m…
