Dodging The Beat: "Sanctuary"--Sketch (Deadfall excerpt)

http://dodgingthebeat.blogspot.com/2015/05/sanctuary-sketch-deadfall-excerpt.html

Writing, current or otherwise. Friday, 8 May 2015. Sanctuary"- Sketch (Deadfall excerpt). A parade of the scarcely living shuffled across the flagstones of the Causeway Al-Koji. It marched in a silence stifled by the creak of ungreased axles, the tramp of footfalls. Hundreds of mud-splattered cloaks obscured the Causeway's marble surface in a woolen canopy. Around the edges, several serpentine icons of Koki slipped over the edge and into the ocean's froth below. Few noticed, and none cared. Southward, pa...

Dodging The Beat: October+New Project

http://dodgingthebeat.blogspot.com/2014/10/octobernew-project.html

Writing, current or otherwise. Monday, 13 October 2014. In short, reporting has eaten my soul. But over reading week (and between two profile interviews I may or may not be doing in the morning) I'm doing my best to carve out chunks of time to start- hopefully finish- a story I plotted in part on a westbound train drifting its way from Scarborough to Union station. Toronto, by way of Oshawa. If only the next generation pulled beyond this eclipse. It tried. So the Zeller Institute designed Arachnae. This ...

Dodging The Beat: Once More Into The Breach

http://dodgingthebeat.blogspot.com/2015/01/once-more-into-breach.html

Writing, current or otherwise. Sunday, 4 January 2015. Once More Into The Breach. I need to change that. Not just because I haven't submitted anything decent since last year. Any kind of writing is an exercise. It needs regular, constant practice. I get it in spades for hard news, broadcast writing, even the odd feature-piece or two. But fiction? I've got a grace period. Tuesdays, into Wednesday night. That's the time between the paper going to press and the editors finishing their pitches and as...12/27...

Dodging The Beat: "Deluge"--Sketches

http://dodgingthebeat.blogspot.com/2015/02/deluge-sketches.html

Writing, current or otherwise. Thursday, 26 February 2015. A hundred Andromeda suns fizzle under ether yokes. Gravity chafes, sends sparks flying into the long dark. Touches off nebulae and pockets of hyper-combustible gasses. Cataclysms send plasma tendrils deeper into the black: gnawing, hungry. A white plain soaks up starlight in all directions. No cover, no wind,no foliage. Silence, stillness. They blink. Ponder calculations never before sung or whispered or written. They exhale: slowly. It rushe...
