A collection of words I made up (with definitions) because sometimes “there just isn’t a word for that and there should be.”
The HMS Slush Brain
Slush Brain (noun) : The condition a writer comes down with after spending eight hours editing or researching. Symptoms include, but are not limited to poor spelling, atrocious grammar, and an inability to stop talking. Example in a sentence: Angela often has slush brain. Argh! Welcome aboard, mateys! This is Captain “Princess” Boozic and I […]
The HMS Slush Brain
Argh! Welcome aboard, mateys! This is Captain “Princess” Boozic and I man the ship I commandeered known as the HMS Slush Brain. On board this fictitious vessel docked at Twitter, a collection of writers and I escape our obligations. Stories enfold, crazy conversations are exchanged (with a lot of wine and Guinness), and ideas are […]

Blogging
Hello again, dear reader! I just had some thoughts I wanted to share. I love webdesign. I have no training or expertise whatsoever in code and webdesign, but since October I have delighted in piddling around with my website then watching the results.

What To Watch

I adore One Piece and Naruto almost equally. I love One Piece more than Naruto only because One Piece was my first […]
Another Angle on Story
I love story. All story. Books, television, movies…even campfire stories. I am addicted to story. But, until 2009, I completely disregarded one type of story: Anime. No, please don’t run away. There is a reason why a fantasy writer is talking about anime. Truth is, today most children are watching anime. I grew up with […]
The Adventures of Elisereth and Anbethturil
At 4,929 words (and growing) I will be breaking this up into 700 word chapters and posting this under my blog within the first week in May…or perhaps today (1 May 2015) if I’m looking for something to do. I have only broken up the first two chapters and have more work to do on […]
Into Bergen’s World
“Come on, Angela,” Bergen says taking my hand. “Baby steps. You don’t have to write a perfect chapter, just…try stepping into the world.” I nod and study the stubble on Bergen’s chin and the black of his eyes. “Very well,” I say. Bergen fits his fingers between mine and pulls me back into third century […]
