CMT Awareness Week
I usually save this space for writing posts. This week is special, though. This week is CMT Awareness Week. CMT is the most common inherited neuropathy in the world, affecting 1 in 2,500 people.
Imagine looking completely normal. Yet every day brings a ton of health issues, from balance to fatigue, chronic pain and loss of abilities like ( Read more... ) -
School and Writing
Phew! Three weeks into school and the world tips onto another axis. I teach two days a week at a public charter school. We have an arts focus (yay!). We are struggling with the budget crisis and terrible funding in California. Every year we lose more resources. Yet we don't want kids to pay for adult problems, so we work hard to compensate ( Read more... ) -
New Stories
Adventures continue as this indie world moves right underfoot. I submitted The Goblin Queen as an epub twice to the Lulu experts for distribution in the iBookstore.

Peace! -

Zombie Story Lives!
Zombie story is done! 'Live' over at mystorybreak.com. The final word count is 5600 words. Five students are alone with a crowd of zombies at the gates. How do you survive the apocalypse at school?
The fun part is now I move onto the next story. Thinking of a girl that sees living energy (and energy vampires) or a woman who discovers that the ( Read more... ) -
Clouds
I don't really know how to structure this post. I started an inner-musing about Twitter-stories contained in the limited characters, and how those short snapshots open doors to wider stories. Mine starts with a few simple words. Deepest sympathies to . . . and Send good thoughts to . . . so I click on those and read through posts that may be ( Read more... )
