Writers on a River informational Zoom meeting Nov. 12

 

From my partner in crime, Margaret Miner: 

One week from today, Thursday, November 12, Allison Landa and I are hosting a Zoom info call about Writers on a River, our November 2027 Danube cruise with a flash fiction workshop led by Allison.

Allison will share what we’ll do in the workshop, and I’ll walk you through the sailing from Vilshofen to Budapest and what life is like onboard. We’ll leave time for questions, too.

If you’re curious about the writing, the river cruise, or both, we’d love to see you. Register for the November 12 Zoom at the link in our bio.

Register here!

Excited to be part of Tahoe Lit Fest!

From Conflagration

I didn’t love being single, but I didn’t mind it so much either. I had my little apartment, my cat. The stereotypical single girl’s life, but did that matter? I could have ridden free, lived unencumbered. I could just sit with Lilith right now with no worry of when I would have to head back, no one to whom I was obligated, no caretaking, maybe even no memory. Untrammeled, untriggered, unaffected.

The Outfield, "Your Love"

 Josie's on a vacation far away

Come around and talk it over
So many things that I want to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
No one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover
I just wanna use your love tonight, whoa
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Try to stop my hands from shakin'
Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been awhile since we were all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you leave me, please, would you close the door?
And don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right, that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love tonight, yeah
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Yeah, I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

(Lose your love)
(Lose your love)
Tonight (Lose your love)
I don't wanna lose (Lose your love tonight)
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna (Lose your love tonight)
No, no (Lose your love tonight)
(Lose your love tonight)
No, no (I don't wanna lose your love tonight)
(Lose your love tonight)

11 today

 

Thinking

What would I be if I hadn't grown up with abuse? 

So much more I could have done.

So much more I could have been.
