AND THAT’S OKAY. ISN’T THAT RIGHT, THE DOUBLECLICKS? RIGHT. http://youtu.be/zCF_js2y0Ec I don’t have any big plans for my birthday this year—mostly because, honestly, it’ll be hard to top last year’s incredible awesomeness—but it’s been a really good year so far……

Friday Flash Fiction: “The Old Switcheroo”
One more excerpt from this year’s NaNoWriMo draft! I officially “won” on the 28th, but I’m going to one final write-in tonight to get a little farther along, and also to see my fellow Vancouver Wrimos one more time. Then…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Food for Thought”
More from this month’s NaNoWriMo draft. Eagle-eyed readers will note that the pictured food item is actually Korean, not Japanese. And one of my favorite quotations of all time*, from the late Lin Yutang: “What is patriotism but the love…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Bottoms Up”
More from this month’s NaNoWriMo draft. Also, it’s really a toss-up as to whether Wikipedia or Myths RETOLD is more factually accurate overall, but the latter sure is a lot more entertaining to read. Read “Bottoms Up” at 512 Words…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba”
Why a palindrome for today’s story title? Because this is my 215th 512 story, which makes the shortlink (below) palindromic as well! And yes, this is more from my current NaNoWriMo draft. It’s kind of a fun challenge to pick…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Coffee is for Closers”
#NaNoWriMo has begun, so you’re likely to see a bunch of excerpts from my new novel draft over the next few weeks. This one’s a continuation of the story (and world) established in “Making Waves.” Also, have you seen Glengarry…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Interview Prep”
More from this year’s NaNoWriMo draft, because my capacity for laziness is great. And no, this conversation is not as autobiographical as you might imagine. Read “Interview Prep” at 512 Words or Fewer
Friday Flash Fiction: “Police Duality”
It occurred to me this week that I haven’t yet exercised my laziness and excerpted any part of my NaNoWriMo output from this year as a 512. So, here you go! (This bit is not particularly skiffy, but rest assured,…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Exterior, Alley, Daytime”
Today’s flash is not a complete story. It’s not even a complete scene. It is another small piece of my current novel-in-progress, and a companion piece to “Gone But Not Forgotten,” featuring the same main characters in further dialogue. As…
