Welcome!

Hola! I’m a person living in Seattle with a family and surrounded by books. On good days I read some of them, and on super good days I get some writing in. I write and publish fiction and essays. Essays are easier, but fiction is where my heart finds its home.

You can find my blog here. It’s where I put spillover from my brain, on a variety of topics, roughly sorted into these categories:

books, movies, tv, music: A book, a movie, a show, a song. Was it amazing? Fun? Did I hate it? Am I now thinking deep thoughts about it? Come along for the ride.

doctor who: What is that certifiably insane time traveler up to THIS TIME?

daily life: Spilling coffee, working unpaid, and all those little things that make up a life.

that’s political: I’m always pondering how to build a better world. Or how to survive this one. I read, think, dream, act. It’s all here – utopia, dystopia, the hidden workings of power, resistance, action.

my writing: What have I published? Struggled with? Where can you go to read my latest work?

public education: Public schools belong to the people, not corporate interests. Teachers organizing professionally and politically is A Good Thing. And every students needs something different to learn well. Actually, our entire system is a mess, but you start with what you’ve got. In the past I have taught writing to K-12 and college students, and I have both Opinions and Concrete Tools to share in the category of teaching writing. This section is severely lacking in my thoughts on teaching kids with autism. One of these days.

everything else: This category means, “I didn’t know where to put this post.” Every organizational system needs a miscellaneous, don’t you think?

My posts also appear occasionally on Ambling Along the Aqueduct. I feel like I should make a page linking to them.
