The Planner Experiment: Fickle Spring
This week spring sprung, pounced really. We raced from snow to Seattle summer weather with speed that could induce spine-snapping whiplash. The cherry plum trees in my yard went from bare to full blossom in forty-eight hours. I woke up one morning and found myself instinctively picking things up and putting them away everywhere IContinue reading “The Planner Experiment: Fickle Spring”
The Planner Pages: Changing course
The Experiment This month is flying by and I have very few submissions to show for it. My main issue is trying to read enough of each journal to get a feel for it and then when I’ve spent so much time reading the journal, I decide I don’t have a story that fits. I’veContinue reading “The Planner Pages: Changing course”
The Planner Experiment: March Week Two
While I worked through the week’s pages, I came across an error. The dates for Pseudopod’s reading period are 3/15-3/31. The good news is we didn’t miss out. I will try to be more careful.

The Planner Project: Final Days of February
Here we are at the end of the first full month of planner pages and looking toward the month of March. For these last few pages, I decided to try a background.

As I write this, I’m listening to short stories from Asimov’s Science Fiction on their podcast. I also discovered and have been listening to The CryptoNaturalist.

I edited and submitted two other stories to differentContinue reading “The Planner Experiment: Micro-fiction”
