Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Total agreement.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Personally, I LOVE seeing positive accomplishments/moments/awards etc shared on the board.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Just have to post this somewhere. Despite feeling overwhelmed all the time, I am managing to keep writing this time. Wrote all day yesterday. Should have been grading, mind you, but was so happy about the writing coming that I just kept writing.

Awesome, Burrell!

Thanks Amy. I find it so hard to carve out time to write, but I suspect that is just an excuse. But it's nice to feel excited about a piece for once.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's awesome!

Yesterday I took a flash fiction workshop with Cat Rambo and then wrote a piece of flash inspired by one of the writing prompts. I've also got two flash pieces and one story to revise and submit by the end of this month.

Good work, P-C!
