Author has written 31 stories for NCIS, Bones, and Battlestar Galactica: 2003. Pronunciation: \ˌem-bə-ˈlā-lē-ə, -ˈlal-ē-\. Definition: Hesitation forms in speech--such as um, you know, like, uh, okay. Etymology: From the Greek, "something thrown in" For those of you wandering past here, yes, I've somewhat vanished since last fall. Between teaching middle school (5th most dangerous neighborhood in the country! Why doesn't it feel like I've won?) and going to yet more grad school, well, there's not much time for writing. Also I discovered Battlestar Galactica and have pretty much stopped caring whether I see NCIS in any given week. If you haven't seen it, you should go watch it. Like, right now. I will at some time in the future be posting BSG fic, but I have to get more of it completed first. Thanks for reading! "The story - from Rumplestiltskin to War and Peace - is one of the basic tools invented by the human mind, for the purpose of gaining understanding. There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories." ~Ursula K. Le Guin | |||||||
