all-timer book, I love this one so very much

not sexual innuendo from my main character, a bird. (I do love a line that makes me go haha wtf about my own writing though.)

Thanks to editor @lenemacleod.bsky.social and the rest of the Frost Zone team for including my story "Path of Totality" in the new volume of Frost Zone Stories!

Sometimes when I’m writing I get caught in a sentence, and then I live with it for minutes or hours. We fight, we refuse to speak or to change for one another. Eventually we come to a negotiated peace and I move on to another sentence. The idea of automating this process feels unspeakably alien.
