Today has been one of those rare, wonderful days when the words have come easily. Trust me when I tell you this is NOT something I take for granted. I’m rather tempted to go out in the moonlight and dance around a bit in celebration.   However, this being Vancouver [or at least near-ish toContinue reading “Bedtime Story: ELAINE, Chapter TWO, pt 1 & 2”

Wishing you a lovely summer solstice! Here is a shot of the solstice sky this evening, around ten pm here — not even full twilight yet. Ahhh.   I’m trying to enjoy the moment, because it always seems to me so patently unfair that the first day of official summer is the longest of theContinue reading “Summer Solstice, 2012”

But with the recent emergency reno…I’ve ended up with a little built-in plot of earth adjacent to myContinue reading “Garden Foray”

In which we meet Lainie at work and at home, and see the beginnings of the shadows cast upon her…                 More soon….     ~kc

Well, here we are, entering the final week of May already. Been a whirlwind of a month, I must say. Lots of writing done. Mondo editing, new story writing, short story writing and podcasting. I have a full day of work on SiWC2012 in front of me, but I thought I’d pause first and sayContinue reading “kcnowrimo update”

Holy crow. Another bedtime story appearing just under the wire. The stress! The deadlines! Actually, you know by know this is the way I do everything, much as I try to be good and organized and get these things done ahead of time. Anyway, here goes, with Chapter 2 of Nora’s Nunnery. No parental advisoryContinue reading “Bedtime Story: NORA’S NUNNERY, Chapter 2 — The Yoga Studio”
