they like me, they really like me!

I’m pleasantly surprised and genuinely touched that my flash fiction piece, "A Thing Now: A Two-Sentence Story," received my second ever daily deviation yesterday. I sure wasn’t expecting that, and I couldn’t be happier about it, because that tiny little story is one of my personal favorites.

It really is only two sentences long, so you have no excuse not to read it. You can find it here:



Be sure to check out the Easter Eggs, which are legion in this piece. They really are an essential part of the story. If you are reading the story in the Chrome browser and can’t find all of them, here’s a little secret: if you use Firefox, all of the Easter Eggs have dotted underlines beneath them. Just hover over them and the secret is revealed!

Also, huge love to =LadyofGaerdon for suggesting it and ^neurotype for featuring it.

seriously, tonepainter, you are lame!

So, somehow I failed to take note of a DLD I received back in November for my poem, "Williwaws and Halny." The truth is, life has been a little crazy lately, and I haven’t been as all together on dA as I usually am. I’m working hard to change that…we’ll see.

Anyway, it’s a poem about earth, wind, and fire. It’s especially about those incredibly powerful ill winds that can blow away our humanity and darken our souls, fouling whole continents at a time and seriously fucking up our destinies. See if you can figure out who the narrator is.

You can find the poem here:



I realize there are some difficult words, including many foreign words, in this one. The Easter Eggs may help.

And here again, I need to express my profound gratitude to =AzizrianDaoXrak for suggesting the poem and =LadyofGaerdon for featuring it. You both have my heart for your constant support!

It seems I have more to add here.

I am honored that my poem The Word Rape of a Minor Poet was selected as the “Pick of the Day” and featured by =DailyLitDeviations for March 13, 2013. Special thanks to the very kind `Kneeling-Glory for featuring it!

Here is the poem (beware, though, I have heard that reading this is a punishing experience):
