Typing With Bricks

Half awake, Rebecca felt something heavy and warm on her feet. Slowly opening her eyes, she could make out a red ball of fluff snoring at the foot of the bed. Early morning light streamed in from sliding glass doors.
Rebecca gently slid her feet out from under the sleeping fox, so as not to wake [...]

This chapter would have been posted sooner, but my computer seems to be barfing all over itself. In fact, as I type this, I can hear my hard drive rattling away like it’s going to try and take off helicopter style. What better way to spend a Saturday night that troubleshooting your own computer…
Anyway… One [...]

Wrote this chapter today. No spreading this one out over a few days. When they’re short chapters like these, that isn’t really all that hard to do. Took about two hours to get this one out. I was going to start on it at lunch, but somehow a magazine on coral aquariums snatched my attention. [...]

A few years ago, I nearly drowned. It was, as one might imagine, a deeply disturbing experience. What got me was how calm, slow and exhausting the moment felt. And it was entirely my own stupid fault. Luckily, for me, I have good lungs and a strong voice and another boater happened to be within [...]

I love magpies. They seem to have a lot of charisma. They are immensely curious and chatty. And they’re sneaky little buggers that you don’t want to turn your back on.

She had quickly gotten used to her new body, as, she suspected, had Silver Sky. Sure, it had it its occasional unpleasantness, but overall, she [...]

Rebecca looked at the raging waters of the river. It was hard to believe that they would eventually find a place to cross. Even though they had walked now for a few days, they had not yet found the fork in the river that Wolf had talked about, and both of their spirits were beginning [...]

I have nothing good to say about this week. It was stressful and annoying. Not because of writing, mind you, but because of work. It was not conducive to writing, and I didn’t get nearly as much done as I would have liked. In fact, no writing was done on two of the days. I’m [...]

Sorry for no post yesterday, work is crazy lately. But anyway, let’s continue, shall we?
Chapter 15 – Continued
Plucking up his nerve, he wandered over to where the three where chatting. As he approached they seemed to quiet down noticeably. That made him more than a little bit nervous. But then Rebecca smiled broadly.
