“Their father was a good man, but he liked women. La Llorona isn’t too fond of men like that. Their mother took exception to La Llorona killing him, cause wanderin’ eye or not, that was her man. La Llorona drowned her for it.”
Beer to her lips, an idea occurred to Chelsea. “If we can locate La Llorona, I think I can lure her in.”
“The legends say she’s the ghost of a woman who killed her own children. But the hands that drowned my mom were solid and real.”
I’ve thought about this a lot. I restarted this blog to hold myself accountable, to force myself to write. And I still want to write. However, this is the time of year when I don’t really have the time at work. And when I get home, if I have the physical and mental capabilities, I’d […]
I did not, in fact, get any writing done. Mostly because I found two cute chairs at a garage sale and promised my husband I wouldn’t pile them in the garage with the rest of my projects. So they are cleaned, sanded, stained, sealed, and drying. They’ll be in the living room tonight. But I […]
This is a series of short stories, detailing the adventures of Chelsea Childling. You can start with her origin story or pick something from the index.*** The barest slit of a moon opened the sky above her as Chelsea pulled off the highway.

Yesterday was slammed at work. Much more of what I’m used to for this time of year. I did not have a moment to concentrate until the end of the day and then I was too used up to try. So no, no writing yesterday. Not sure how today will look. We might have had […]
As I figured too much painting this long weekend. My kids will be finishing it up today. We had a heatwave and took it easy. Even in the air conditioning, moving around too much can get to you out here. It’s the lack of water. Anyway, I have no idea how this week will play […]
No writing yesterday. I was busy with projects in the morning and then people came in. It happens. And really it should be happening more often. But we’ll see about today. I would love to get Decemeber’s story done so I could take a break and plan out a bunch of them. Anyway, I have […]
I did start the next Chelsea story. I’m setting up for a big fight, so I have a few quieter stories, slice of life type stuff and a big ol’ info dump on the monster. Both of which are fun to write. Also, I have to walk into work today and tomorrow, so hopefully, that […]
