"Okay, Next Crisis" is the companion flash fic for October's Canon Blast! post, which was about Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy. Just a reminder that Canon Blast! is now exclusively on Patreon, but I'll post the companion flash on here the month following its appearance on the other site. If you want to keep up with … Continue reading Okay, Next Crisis
October Round Up
It's Election Day! GO VOTE. GO VOTE. GO VOTE. But that also means that it's time for another episode of "What Lizz Did This Month." The biggest news is that I launched my Patreon page! Woo hoo! Go here for more info and maybe sign up to be a patron? Also, tell your friends? Some … Continue reading October Round Up
Mid October Round Up
Hey, guess what? It's time for another episode of "Here's What Lizz Did Last Month." I was doing these at the beginning of every month, but since I'm now doing the Canon Blast! at the end of every month (which becomes the beginning if you wait a few days to read it...) I decided to … Continue reading Mid October Round Up
Canon Blast! The Invisible Man- H. G. Wells
First some backstory: I really found Science Fiction in grad school. Prior to that, I'd read the odd book here and there that is classified as SF/F-- The Giver and A Wrinkle in Time in middle school, Frankenstein in high school and then again in college, Slaughterhouse Five in college-- but Science Fiction was never … Continue reading Canon Blast! The Invisible Man- H. G. Wells
Suddenly, September
It's September! August was a good month for stories, for me. My Great British Bake Off meets Sweeney Todd story, "Too Good, At Least" is available over on Speculative City. I had a blast writing this one--it was one of those rare stories that pretty much sprang from my head fully formed, like Athena. I … Continue reading Suddenly, September
Story Fog
July passed in a haze of stories. Seriously, a haze. I can't even begin to tell you what most of them were about, and I'm still recovering from the onslaught so I haven't gone back to look at any of them yet. I know there were food puns, destructive fairies, pop culture references, and about … Continue reading Story Fog
Write Like You’re Not Melting
It's July 1, and I've sent off my first story for Zoetic Press' Write Like You're Alive challenge. The goal is to write one story per day for the entire month of July. I hemmed and hawed for a few weeks about whether or not I was actually going to do this, because 31 in … Continue reading Write Like You’re Not Melting
May Recap Halfway Through June
I'm so behind on updating that I don't even have a punny title. Sorry. May was spent mostly knitting. I'm smushing the beginning of June into this "what I've been doing with my time" post too, since it's apparently the 10th already. I really need to learn that when I pick a pattern for something … Continue reading May Recap Halfway Through June
And Also With You: April Recap
April's progress: -Survived Tax Season at my day job. -Got promoted, because someone quit. Hooray? Mostly. Promotions are good, but now we have to hire someone to do my current job and in an extra small office, finding the right personality is important. Fingers crossed. -Read three books. On the book front, I really enjoyed … Continue reading And Also With You: April Recap
Camp Preparations- March Recap
In the interest of trying to post something monthly, here's a March recap. Possibly some February thrown in too, but I honestly don't remember where I put February. It's just gone. Neither month was particularly productive, writing-wise. I wrote one short story for Uncanny's call for Dinosaur submissions, and it was promptly rejected. It's okay, … Continue reading Camp Preparations- March Recap
