I have reached the frenzied, delectable stage of writing my current short story. All of you writers know what I am talking about: that blissful point where everything-plot, characterization, language, action-clicks into place. When it all begins to make cohesive, beautiful sense. That is where I am at today, dear readers. It feels good, but it is also time-consuming. I will be back tomorrow with several posts. Until then, feel free to let your gaze wander over, and your mind reflect on, the charms of this little gallery. I’ve had a tasty and sociable few weeks, wouldn’t you agree?
Yep, it’s a chicken!

She does, but I am a bad chicken friend. I do not remember her name. 😦 I will have to ask.

It is! My friends actually have 4 chickens. In town. It’s hilarious, in the best way.

Ha! I admit, I do not always do preliminary work. This story is complicated in a number of ways, and definitely needs extra planning.
