Excerpt
Maisie wore a Royal Salmon Casino sweatshirt that was a half-size too small and she pulled it down to cover her well-fed belly. "I don't want to be here all afternoon." She lined up the rest of the zucchini on the conference table with a serious face. "I got to get my grandkids and then I got bingo. You know they want to shut down the bingo?"
Ramona gasped.
"It's true," Ike said.
"Council thinks they make more money if they put slots in there," Maisie said.

Publications
Writing Description
I write about Indians who have time machines, World Cup Soccer qualifying teams, and killer cellphone towers on their lands.
Goals
I'm going to write at least 3000 words a week. Also, since I'm such a coward about submitting I'm going to commit to submitting at least two stories during the six weeks. That might not sound like much but I've only done one submission since I left CW.
I am going to match pledges up to $200 so if I can get 20 people to donate $10, that's $400. But if I can coax a little more out of my friends and family, all the better.
