Liars League

Oh I lied, I lied. And I didn't come back did I?

But lying convincingly - isn't that what you do when you are a writer of fiction? Forcing your reader to suspend their disbelief for ten pages. Or an hour. Or a month. Making the world you hold in your head entirely real and moving and heartbreakingly, painfully crystal. I want to take you with me. And THAT is the muscle I am currently trying to work. I will be in touch to suspend your disbelief presently.

Foxy Loxy Is Back

Foxy Loxy is back. I've dragged her purring from the archives.

I got a little carried away for a while. There was an interlude across the Atlantic. An interruption actually. But I feel as if I have returned to myself right now. I feel AWAKE. And, validated as I am by the very typing of these brand new words, I'm thrilled to be commencing forthwith in relaying the latest trials and tribs.

By forthwith I of course mean tomorrow. I can hardly wait.
