We'll start with the 'ask'.

Where would you guys like me to devote some writing energy? A particular story, or style, or genre? What would you like me to produce storywise?

And the 'say' -
I'm going vegetarian. Saying it aloud makes it more real for me, I suppose. Kind of nervous about starting out, truth be told. Any vegetarian readers of mine? Any advice?

Today someone asked me for some advice on what it is, as a reader, to distinguish what makes a story good or not. So I tried to answer, and hey, maybe some of you'd care to see it as well:

Hello. I'm glad you think I'm worth an opinion on what to look for when reading a story, and on what it is that distinguishes good stories.

A while ago I released a great big 1.5k poem that I was very happy with. But not all poems and are going to be in that ballpark for size, and with the site's min-size limit AND my erratic, recurring inclination to dabble with verse, I figured I'd borrow off of Racing Thought's existing thingy and expand it into a bit of a collection, rather than leave it as a single stand alone entity.

The first such addition, Song of Homecomings, is up and ready to read.

It pleases me to say that A Ballad has gotten some much needed love where proofing is concerned, and the story should now be much cleaner grammatically than ever before.

My latest story, Good Times, is now available for reading.

It's mature. As in, it's clop. Like, exceedingly cloppy. Sooo if that's something you like, than you'll quite like this, I'm sure. And if not, Good Times is one to pass by. My usual charms of discretion, subtley, and erotic nuance go right out the window for this one.

The story poem, Racing Thoughts, is now available on fimfic, and can be found here:

Racing Thoughts

Word for word, it's the single most drafted, edited, axed and revised piece of writing I've ever done, and I'm proud of it.

I've been doing lots of writing, but not my usual sort.

First thing to finish (sometime with this weekend and the coming week) and edited, then posted, will be a poem. A poem big enough to post on fimfic, yay.

Have a teaser:

And analyzed, this feeling brought
to bear, emotions fought and beat
and managing this feat still sought
say, “This is blue and this is not!”
then set each colour with its own
and whisper in a softer tone
“Here is red and here is yellow,”

Let's see, it's a quick morning for me as I wait out the last few moments before heading away for a two day stint. So in the meantime, talk of fools.

The idea of April Fools' day actually goes back hundreds of years, and while the internet can give you the details the gist is this: The old agrarian calender traditionally had spring as the start of the year, not as we have it now, a chosen date in the middle of winter.

Just a little thing here to let any and all know that my newest story, It Spills Over has just gone through the submission process and is now available to read.

When you fear the cure worse than the affliction, how can you ever hope to recover? For Berry Punch, there's never been an easy answer.

And when she is forced to confront consequences worse than any she could have imagined, it's just going to get harder.
