Holy crow -- can't believe we are at the twentieth episode already!
I have under 10 minutes to get this posted before midnight. Will I make it? We shall see...
This story is about a flight into the strangest of nightmares -- the very first taste of nETHERWORLD.
Enjoy!

Tonight's story is inspired by a piece written by Hannah Nordhaus that I read on boingboing earlier this month. You can find it here:

Really worth reading.
I do hope you enjoy my particular take on it, though the subject matter is sad.
Perhaps someone listening will be inspired to help solve the problem...?

kc @siwc, photo by Ursula MaxwellYou know, this has been a pretty productive year for me on the writing front. It's turned out to have a fairly short-storied focus, but the words have definitely been coming. I've written [and podcasted] eighteen stories --or excerpts -- so far this year, and this looks to continue. On May 1st, however, an idea came to me in the shower while I was washing my hair, and later that week I happened to mention it to my friend and often-writing-companion Kathy Chung.
It made her laugh.
This, of course, was encouragement enough for me to start the project in earnest. As a result, I have a HUGE list of writing projects on the go this month, including writing a mammoth grant proposal for SiWC 2012. I have thereby declared this kcnowrimo*, in spite of the fact that the 'no' element is just one small item on the list.
Will report in at the end of the month with results.
Those who follow me on twitter know that I've been indulging in daily #morningwrites [rarely, of course, in the mornings], so now you know what the whole #kcnowrimo hash tag is all about, too.
Wish me luck -- or better still, join me!

In which we find a special sanctuary designed for women by Nora; a Walden-esque spot that may well prove to be too good to be true...*

Nora, Nunnery, bedtime stories Email Article Friday, April 27, 2012 at 11:11PM Th
is is a kid-style story, inspired by a tale of the finding of ancient flutes in a grove of trees, as told to Sheryl MacKay on CBCs North by Northwest program last weekend. I loved the idea of music secretly hidden in the trees, and this story is the result.
Not that it really answers any questions...
Hope you enjoy the story. Let me know what you think!
