Re-Introduction: Ready for Arkham

Cillian Murphy as Dr. Jonathan Crane

 If you've visited this site before, you'll notice a little change in title: yes, this blog is now named after the Arkham Asylum. And, yeah, that's Cillian Murphy playing my favorite inmate--Jonathan Crane--in Batman Begins. I love that straight-jacket screen cap.  It represents how I feel about my writing at the moment: it's driving me crazy.

It's going to get better, right? A few days of frustration don't mean the plot bunnies won't start biting soon, right? RIGHT?!

Oy.

Ok, no more outbursts. I don't want to scare the plot bunnies away.

Introduction

I'm unemployed this summer--what better time to focus on my writing? I'll be posting my stories on different sites, depending on whether they're urban fantasy, fantasy or, um, erotic fiction. I write that last genre under a different name. (Yes, I'm blushing! But eventually I'll find the courage to share that name here.)

Meanwhile, I wanted a place to post about my struggles with writing: the way my stomach twists when I can't find the right phrase and the way I cringe when I read my attempts at description. But I want to share my triumphs too, plus some drabbles, flash fiction pieces and short stories that don't fit the genres of my other sites.

I love comments, so please let me know what you think. I can take criticism--although I find it most helpful  when it's polite and constructive. I promise to be polite in return.

Thanks for stopping by--enjoy your stay!
