I didn't go back and read what I wrote at the end of Our Year of the Collective Dumpster Fire 2020, because it didn't really matter. Just like it doesn't really matter what I write about Our Year of Dystopian Hellscape 2021, because you all lived it too. So let's get straight into the Year … Continue reading Second Verse, Same as the First

Moving the Goals Post
I probably ought to have just crossed out the 0 and replaced it with a 1 on my 2020 list of things I wanted to accomplish this past year, because I hit very few of them. I think that's probably true of everyone. I didn't, though. I erased the whole thing and we're going to … Continue reading Moving the Goals Post
M1R (Make One Right): Giftmas Blog Tour
2020, right? Okay, that's done, because it's December, and you've all been here living the same year I have so there's no need to go on about what an off year it is. I've been exceptionally lucky that I haven't suffered in the extreme ways that some other folks have-- my job is "essential" so … Continue reading M1R (Make One Right): Giftmas Blog Tour
Pretty Bookish Things
I don't know about the rest of you, but 2020 has not been a particularly productive year for me. My writing has suffered, my reading has suffered, the only thing that really hasn't is my knitting because for a few months at the beginning of the pandemic that was ALL I had the motivation to … Continue reading Pretty Bookish Things
Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)
2018 has lasted an eternity and also somehow flown by at the same time. I'm not sure how that happens. I honestly can't remember what happened when. Rationally, and according to the google machine, I know movies like Black Panther came out this year, etc, but I'm also pretty confident that was like ten years … Continue reading Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)
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
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
