I'm a giant sucker for the creative process! It's hard when the universe and my subconscious don't operate on my command, but if I can be patient, these are the carrots that make me stick with writing.(less)

Since I'm obsessed with military communities, I'm calling it The Ballad of the Sad Commissary. It's just an experiment to amuse me while I'm working on a longer project. We'll see if/how it pans out!(less)

Poetry – my vaguest goal

I like a good, quantifiable goal. I’m sure you’ve seen S.M.A.R.T. goals on a briefing slide somewhere, but if you haven’t tripped over that acronym before, you can read about it here. It’s hokey but I like them, and keep my goals and New Years resolutions achievable and quantifiable – write 300 words a day, read 50 books in a year, that sort of thing.

But this year when I was setting my literary go

All the grittiest and ghostiest vibes - 90s grunge, sad girls obsessed with Sylvia Plath and the dreamy/creepy professor who teaches her poetry at the not at all gothic and definitely not haunted Loch Raven College. I loved the granular attention to ...more

“If you weren’t there during one of those firefights you wouldn’t be able to get your head around it. Hell, I was in plenty of firefights, and I’m not sure I know what went on over there. The VC understood us better than we did them, but nobody’s got a lock on the whole story. Certainly not a bunch of drunk old grunts.”
Nancy Stroer, Playing Army

“I will unmake him,” said the clock wife simply. “I will pull the marrow from his bones and pour lead into the spaces left behind. I will make his dying into a place and visit it every day until the end of eternity.”
T. Kingfisher, The Seventh Bride

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The hardest thing about writing is writing.”
Nora Ephron

“Whilst the men and women involved in the July Plot of 1944 are generally regarded as heroes, it should be remembered that few, if any, intended to replace the Nazi regime with anything approaching a modern representative democracy. Stauffenberg and others were in favour of retaining much of the territory that Germany had seized from Poland in 1939 and wished to negotiate an end to the conflict only with the Western Allies – they fully intended to continue the war in the east against the Soviet Union. They planned to insist that Germany would not be occupied by any foreign power at the end of the war, and that prosecution of any war criminals would be a matter purely for German courts.”
Prit Buttar, Into the Reich: The Red Army’s Advance to the Oder in 1945
