Here Comes The Flood
Introduction This was prompted by my Vocal home pages being flooded with the publications of a single Vocal Creator. That used to be a red flag and immediate unsubscription but after what happened to me on Vocal last November to January, my attitude has refocussed.

Call Me Coward, Not Ishmael
Genuinely I'm at a bit of a loss right now. Not a loss. Let me explain. I have entries for all upcoming challenges and unofficial challenges (besides Tim's and Leslie's, actually, glad I remembered those), and find myself with no real WIP really. Well, that's not true because I have a few shelved WIP that I am sitting on because I don't want to dive into them just yet. Call me a coward, not Ishmael! I don't care.

The Gorgeous Girl. Runner-Up in The Posthumous Author Challenge. Top Story - June 2026.
In the four years since Marie Wilson left us, critics and hoi-poloi alike have hailed her novel The Gorgeous Girls as one of the 21st century’s most astounding literary works thus far. Released in 2013 by HarperCollins, the book was brushed off at the time. In fact, its launch was so devoid of fanfare that Wilson is said to have remarked: “HarperCollins released my novel like they were dropping a boulder into the Pacific Ocean in the dead of night."
