short story collection – Quixotic Mama

i had a dream this morning that i was being challenged by another mom on my momming choices.
i chose a less conventional approach to motherhood, and she was telling me that everyone else did it this other way.
but i didn’t care.
i was confident that i was doing right in my choices.

when i woke up…this somehow transferred to my artistic choices.
as my favorite art instructor asked me, “is this what you really want to be doing?”
a question that i now apply to most of my life
& ask myself again today about my art & writings
while applying the message of my dream…
confidence in my dancing down the road less travelled
to a beat of my own.

it’s a new moon on monday, y’all.
a powerful new moon from what i have read.
all new moons are good for fresh starts
this one seems even more powerful?

in the spirit of this new moon
i present to you my collection of writings
& the assurance that i am just getting started….
soon they won’t all fit in one camera shot 🙂

also! more messages from the universe via homemade business cards:

as of today you can buy my book tangled together from a few different places!
this is a collection of short stories and flash fiction i have been writing over the past thirty-ish years.
the stories range from dark to quirky (sometimes both) and are a good reflection of just how my mind works as well as sometimes being more memoir than fiction being that i often use my writing to exorcise those pesky demons.
also! pictures!! i did an inking per story.

if you want an autographed copy, message me (quixoticmama@gmail.com)…otherwise! pick a vendor 🙂

in addition to having confusion perfume & other neurotic comics available through amazon (or contact me for an autographed copy)
in its proofing stage, to be released soon this year, tangled together…a collection of flash fiction & short stories written by me over the last 30 years.

i am still working on journal pages of course of course.
but i am also trying to get some small illustrations done for my upcoming collection of short stories due for publication later this year. tangled together is a long time coming collection of flash fiction & short stories. i will be so happy to finally see my stories in print.

also trying to cope with a world that i just want to burn to the ground…but apparently that is not the way things are done? not that i’m good at doing things the way they are supposed to do….

in lieu of matches–i made some patches.
art saves the world once more!
