I wrote the short story “Think Before Meddling With Archangels “ (how I wish I’d thought to shorten that title earlier!) as a completion of the initial scene Angels and Clay Blobs that I started back in 2012, and finally posted in 2014. In between these two versions, I went through a couple of earlier (one with a name I liked, but feared might catch some flack, so changed it…) versions before finally posting TBMWA, which was my first, and so far only, entry for a story contest, this one based on rational decision-making narrative.
The initial scene of Angels and Clay Blobs actually kicked off my very first NaNo novel, Creator: Friend or Foe, which, after 7 drafts, will die a quiet death like every first practice novel. Hubris and Hemlock, my second NaNo novel, is actually deserving of the title, having a plot!
🙂
I look forward to your thoughts on the writing process.

Stayed on Freedom’s Call
(free: https://archive.org/details/StayedOnF…)
includes two ‘imagination-rich’ walking tours, with songs, of Washington, DC. New interviews and research are woven into stories of old struggles shared by both the Jewish and African-American communities in the capital city.
Shared histories are explored from a new perspective of cultural parallels and parallel institution-building which brought the two communities together culturally and historically.
Please leave a review, if you can, on the GoodReads page.

I try to include rescue animals and animal shelters, and animals with agency, in my stories. I’ve done so much work with animals over the years that I would love people to be more aware of what fates face pets that have been neglected or abandoned.

Why do people keep finding my horrible first practice novel when Hubris and Hemlock, my more recent and actually readable practice novel from NaNoWriMo 2015, is here?
