Bad [Narrative Writing] From My Writing Past #19: Tidbits (2/16/95)

Bad [Narrative Writing] From My Writing Past #19: Tidbits (2/16/95)

I wrote this for my Narrative Writing class, back when I was a writing major. The assignment was to write some childhood vignettes, done as though through a child’s eyes. The vignettes were based on real memories of my childhood, playing with my cousins Anthony, Beverly, and Cathy, and my sister BJ. Anthony, Beverly, Cathy, and I scatter as Bj counts to thirty. Here and there from hidden corners of the house I hear the rummaging around as the ABC…

I Can Imagine Her with Kids

I Can Imagine Her with Kids

My neighbor got herself a dog. I knew about it before she told me or before I even saw the dog because it’s hard not to hear it barking every time someone comes up the stairs to the landing.

Unclose Me is a contemporary romance about a husband and wife and will be published by Liquid Silver Books. Bloodlines: Night’s Journey is the fourth in a series published by Loose Id—two of the first covers were done by another artist, so the typography in this one was designed to match.

Step Three

Step Three

I’ve been getting a few queries via comments and via e-mail about when I’ll be posting step three on how to make stereograms. Some people are nice about it, and some are a little (okay, a lot) more demanding. I got an e-mail once that practically yelled at me to get on with the next step. I’m not quite sure what the rush is. Certainly, I’m in no rush. No one pays me to write my tutorials, so there’s really…
