    The Write-a-Thon begins

    Every year I do the Clarion Write-a-thon for 6 weeks to raise money for a great writers’ workshop that changed my life. I use this as a time of creative renewal and mad experiments.

I attended Clarion Writers Workshop with Ken in 2009 and I believe he is the first of us…

  • It’s ALIVE!

    It’s ALIVE!

    My website has been down for WEEKS, but I’ve finally got my wordpress update to install cleanly (I think everyone updating their websites after Heartbleed kind of wrecked my provider). I’m now pulling together a new theme for my site as my old theme became unreadable under the new version. Don’t be surprised if things…

  • Sometimes when I’m jamming I think happy shark thoughts.
