March Break Madness

The Read: 1984 by George Orwell
The Write: Minor hockey article for local paper
WIP: Fireballz -- an upper middle grade novel about Fred O'Connor, who liked the game so much he really got into it. (Considering steampunking this. Seriously.)

I'm here in the trenches, battling for screen time versus two tech-savvy and game-hungry manipulators -- I mean children. It's bad enough trying to fight my own writing inertia without having other people around who try to convince me to just walk away from the keyboard. Oh well. There's always pen and paper, right?

Happy March Break to all!

WIP: Fireballz -- an upper middle grade novel about Fred O'Connor, who liked the game so much he really got into it.

Cheatgrass

Devil's Bootjack


Really, I'm not making any of these up.
