    Strange Journey

    by
    It’s Spring Break here, and I am finally taking some time to play with programs I have used only minimally, such as Audacity. I drafted this little ditty to use as the soundtrack of a later story. It still has some rough spots, but I will fine-tu...

    Going Home

    by
    Let’s recap—it’s pushing the end of March. Midterms are behind me, Spring Break is before me, I have two novels wanting to be read, twenty essays waiting to be reviewed, a car that needs serious vacuuming, and a house to pack. It’s that last on...

    Found Poems and Visual Elements

    by
    I have returned from four days in Philadelphia at Pendle Hill attending a writing workshop called “A Room of Our Own Making.” I’m still processing, but I will say it was exactly what I needed to make a major decision about my life.

    It comes together

    by
    Ok, so I have finished week two’s treasure hunt. I had actually done all of it just playing around except for the Google Analytics.

    A New Beginning

    by
    So, after three days of bombarding Jim with frantic emails, I believe I have it. At the very least I have bought a small piece of cyber realestate, so it’s not just a digital facelift of the old digital me. I watched the video with Gardner Campbe...

    Whaa…?

    by
    So, for our first assignment, we are suppose to write a thirty-second story about...something. Thirty seconds to tell a story??? It took me over two hours to pick a freakin' domain name, and after all that I went with-- wait for it-- my name. Doma...
