Remember that contest I told you about a while back? The flash-fiction thing I was a finalist in? The one I had a mental breakdown over because I was traveling during the last week and had only one day to write my final entry and everything seemed bleak and dismal and-- Yeah, so, I won. [...]
Well well, my friends, happy Thursday! For lack of entertaining stories or inspirational tragic musings, I come bearing a short-story. A very old short-story I wrote last summer and like quite a bit. Behold: In Defense of Pink Spray-PaintShe sings while she paints, and sometimes dances, but no one cares because this is the [...]
Hello, humans! Today is technically the last day of my Preptober Prompts week, so before we get into it, I think I’d better explain what’s been going on with my weird posting schedule, and why I’m proving to be such a shabby host. Basically, writers’ block. (Blame it all on writers’ block.) No, but seriously. [...]
Yeah, so. This is late. It's been a rough few days... The Catastrophe of ChristmasTramping through six inches of snow and being brained in the face by a snowball is not Liriel’s idea of fun. In fact, her idea of fun is so radically different from the current situation, she’s contemplating writing an [...]
Heyo, humans, welcome back to week #4 of Preptober Prompts, hosted by yours truly! Today's prompt is... *drum roll* And le song I chose-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2CQ1GpMA2o For the record, this isn't my favorite song.

Hullo, humans! Thus begins the last stretch of October until NaNoWriMo (when we'll bid our sanity farewell), and with it comes Week #4 of Preptober Prompts. (Otherwise known as my week.) Who's excited?? (If you didn't shout "ME!!!" at your screen with the gusto of a tone-deaf rooster, I'm ashamed of you.) If you missed [...]
Leaves are falling, wind is blowing, grocery-store candy shelves are being cleared faster than Gimli drank that tankard of ale, and a miserable Sarah Baran is once again entombed in blankets and wailing about the oncoming cold. Ah, October. How I hate thee. (For those who aren't aware, I am part lizard. Cold and I [...]
Whaaaat, who's this interrupting your Thursday? Oh look -- it's me!! Yeah, okay. I have several announcements. First, I finally bought my internet domain! Yes, gone are the days of WordPress creepin' on my blog address and ads about feet. This shipwreck is the thesarcasticelf.COM now, and I'm monstrously proud of my baby. [...]
G'day, people! While I have all manner of exciting life updates I can't wait to fill you in on, I've decided to save them for another time. Today, I want to direct your attention to a fascinating comment I received on my latest art post: And by golly, is that a challenge? Because I'm taking [...]
*casually slinks in* Did you miss me? (If not, please go away.) Yes, 'tis I, returned from the void of... everything. And boy howdy, do I have stories to tell! If you're not sitting on a stable, flat surface right now, I highly suggest reseating yourself. What follows is a long and intense summary of [...]
