  • SFFSat, March 10th, 2012: a snippet from The Jade Star of Athering

    During a break on the march to Southland, Agate takes an opportunity to tell her women about their mission — and encounters some resistance. While her women sat, scattered across the road in a rough semi-circle, chewing on their rations, she spoke clearly and quietly. No one said anything, for her women were loyal, and…

  • Happy International Women’s Day!

    Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day. This is a day for acknowledging the contributions of women to the world, and for honoring the women in your life. (Protip: Instead of giving flowers because you think it’s expected, try asking the women in your life what they’d like. Also, how awesome is it that a…

  • Swear Jars for the Modern Couple

    I was chatting on Skype with my boyfriend (finally; been ages since we really talked) and spamming him with links to The Bloggess (aka Jenny Lawson), because her interactions with her husband remind me so much of my interactions with Mr. Katje. And her interactions/actions/etc in general hit me where I live. Also she’s awesome; you…

  • Friday Reads: The Forever Girl by Rebecca Hamilton

    (Yes I realize this post is late SHUT UP I haven’t slept yet SO IT COUNTS.) I won a game of hangman on Twitter with Rebecca Hamilton and she gave me a free Kindle copy of her book, The Forever Girl. I’m only about half-way through, but I wanted to share some quick thoughts about…

  • Meanwhile in Nanaimo (where it’s still not snowing; I don’t care what everyone else says)

    A while ago I lost the notebook that held several handwritten chapters of The Jade Star of Athering, sequel to Bellica. (Yes, I’ve finally given in — it’s a sequel. I’m sure those of you who have read Bellica are happy to hear that. Though, strictly speaking, it could potentially be a stand-alone. I try…

  • Writers going to write (gators going to gate, etc)

    So, I’m sitting here eating the official food of women and thinking I haven’t done a Writer Wednesday post in a while.  In fact, I’ve been sorely neglecting this blog. Blame exhaustion, my injury, school, and my shoddy internet connection. At least all of those combined have certainly made it difficult. But in the end,…

  • Finding my place in a binary-gendered world

    They keep telling me to find a writer brand, something that I can stay consistent with. And the only thing that I can think of as consistent with my writing is that I write from a feminist pagan perspective, and that will never not inform my writing. Ok, so, feminist pagan perspective. Putting it that…

  • Blocking, barefoot earth-loving, and music to make you writhe

    I spent the morning walking barefoot in my yard. It’s freezing, and my feet were numb within minutes. It was deliciously sensual, though. With my injury I’ve been cooped up inside the house for over a month. Standing outside, feeling the earth spin beneath my feet, the sun beating down on my face and arms,…

  • SFFSat: Drunken confessions continued

    This week’s snippet is a continuation of last week’s, posted here. It caught her completely off guard. She swallowed convulsively in the raw emotion crackling the air. She grasped at her old, Umbra-may-care mood, but her jesting tone fell flat. “What, you’d sacrifice your life for me?” His look didn’t waver, but a small smile,…

  • SFFSat: Drunken confessions from Bellica

    Today’s entry is a conversation snippet between Bellica Yarrow and Major Caelum from Bellica. Yarrow is the Empress’s best bellica, and yet she feels herself descending into madness: she committed a crime she has no memory of committing. After a night of drinking, she confesses her actions to her second, Caelum, and his reaction surprises…
