Mental Affairs Chapter 3 I moved through the remaining two weeks of our tour with a sense of excitement and anticipation that belied the dwindling amount of sleep I got each night. She was moving, and coming closer. I recognized the scenery once; a trail in the Bucegi Mountains I had hiked a few years [...]

Mental Affairs Chapter 2 The sun had set when James dropped me off in front of the hotel, and the lights from the lobby mixed with the growing darkness to create a dusk just outside the door. I paused for a moment, trying to collect my thoughts while the doorman stood poised and ready to [...]

The Interactive Novel is on hold while Kirsten recovers from a concussion and finishes up her MPH. In the meantime, though, I’d love your comments on an idea I’ve been working on for close to five years. :) Mental Affairs Chapter 1 During the day I loved the music. It was the soundtrack of my [...]

It was the time of darkness, and the human was reading with a light, and the Frabjous Furful was looking for entertainment. First, he stuck his nose into the fascinating pile of cardboard [...]

Not to mention a whole new character – Charlie wasn’t even a suggestion in my initial notes. :D Here we have the end of scene 3. Sabrina’s father has just dropped her off in the restaurant for her “date.” Enjoy! And, [...]

I’ve been traveling for the past week, and I’ve discovered that airports are not particularly conducive to writing. Especially not when one is flying standby and has to keep track of open seats and various color coded screens to figure out whether or not to board the plane.

I really need a title for this. Anyone have any suggestions? There’s probably more to scene 3 – at the moment I have it extending over the week that Sabrina’s visiting her family. But I didn’t want to post too much at once, and I have to figure out how to pack six days worth [...]
