Katherine’s Serials

I’m not sure how many notebooks and files I have going at any one given moment, but there are a lot. Half baked ideas, works in progress, bits and pieces of future stories left to germinate between the pages until I can get back to them. Not everything has to be a novel, and that’s ok.

For years, poetry was my thing. When I was in the mood, I could sit down and churn out 5 to 10 poems in a row, as fast as I could write, on a variety of topics. This was in the ‘old’ days. The days when you carried a journal, or a at least a pen, picking up bits of scrap paper, receipts, napkins, whatever was handy when inspiration struck. Even with electronic storage at my fingertips, I still do that a lot of the time. Every so often I have to empty out my purse and jacket pockets and carefully sort through all the scraps of paper, to make sure I’m not losing a future punchline or writing prompt. It’s not pretty.

In an effort to contain and sustain this habit, I will soon be launching (read as: once I beat the formatting into submission) Katherine’s Serials. The intention is to provide an outlet for the less than novel length creations that storm their way out of my mind, demanding attention.

They can’t wait to meet you.
