NEWS
FROM THE HOMEFRONT, May 2008:
-
Where
the heck is the next Dots story?! This,
and the truth behind LOST's smoke monster are among the major mysteries
of our times. The truth is I seem to have forgotten how this whole "writing
fiction" thing works. If my muse ever returns, I'll be as thrilled as the
people who keep writing me, asking for more.
-
But
seriously, folks.... I would love to tell
you I'll finish one day. I can't promise I can or will. I do promise to
keep opening up the next story and seeing if words come out of my fingers.
-
The
good news, if there is any: I
finished the first major installment of the sequel to "Be
Careful What You Wish For"! It’s
called "There But
For the Grace of God," and I have decided to go ahead and post the
first chunk. WARNING: this is a story in progress (though this segment
is complete) and therefore offers no closure in its existing state--in
fact, it ends with a pretty giant cliffhanger. Also, since it is in progress,
I'm not soliciting feedback at this point, and it may be a good long while
before the next section is posted. You have been warned!
-
So
what am I watching now? I'm officially a Browncoat, and fell
in love with the short-lived-but-amazing series Firefly.
Created by Joss Whedon of Buffy
the Vampire Slayer fame, Firefly was
an amazing mix of science fiction and western, with incredible character
development and some of the best writing I have ever seen for television.
Plus, there is a relationship between a tough-as-nails woman named Torres
and a wacky blond pilot who wears Hawaiian shirts--so how can you resist?!?
The whole series is only 14 hours, so check it out! I'm also mad about
BSG, lost in LOST, and looking forward to Joss's new show Dollhouse,
which premieres this fall.

One
last rambling personal note: I’ve gotten some wonderful, supportive
emails from a lot of you encouraging me to continue writing, which I assure
you I would love to do. But Real Life is whipping my butt at the moment
and I have to honor its demands on my time and attention. Thanks for being
so understanding.
Thanks
and love to my betas & buddies:
Ann, Bobbie, Brigid, Kat, LA, Nancy, and Regina (my Harmonic coffee
klatch); Michele, John, Mary Beth, Steve, Vicki, Amy, and Chuck (who
make sure what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas); and my nerdly staff--some
stealth, some not--who think it's cool that their boss is a big dork. KIM:
stop Googling me and get back to work!
