Posted on May 10, 2012 by Bev Vincent

I think I know what I’m going to write about for my next Storytellers Unplugged essay. Except, before I write about it, I have to finish what I’m writing. So I can write about it. Get it? Me, neither. But … Continue reading →

Circling the wagons or circling the drain?

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Bev Vincent

Friday the 13th

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Bev Vincent

I’ve never been sure why it takes a full day to catch up when you’re only out of town for 36 hours, but it does. Wednesday morning I flew to Atlanta. Had to get up at 4:30 a.m. to make … Continue reading →

Hey! Wasn’t that…???

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Bev Vincent

I’m derelict in my duties. I neglected to post a link to my March Storytellers Unplugged essay, which went live on Saturday. Better late than never: Famous People. I had to go to the Social Security office today to tell them … Continue reading →

Does Red have some company?

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Bev Vincent

Drought, day 180 (rough estimate). No relief in sight. Finally got around to watching the Criminal Minds finale. I thought from the opening they were going to riff on Matheson’s Duel, with a killer truck driver. Turns out the truck … Continue reading →

We all scream

Posted on April 14, 2011 by Bev Vincent

I added another thousand words to the novella this morning, reaching 7000, but I think I’ve hit the breaking-off point. The old storyline isn’t going to serve me for this version so I’m ditching the rest of it and going … Continue reading →

A Star is Born

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Bev Vincent

Spent the entire morning session vetting editorial comments for a short story that will be published shortly. Quite a lot of tracked changes, most of which I’m okay with, but I need to make sure that the few deletions don’t … Continue reading →
