Switching Gears

Hello, all. It's been aaaaages since I posted, I know. But I have a really good excuse: I wrote a novel, and it ate all my writing brain. It's a middle grades fantasy called A Witch's Kitchen, and I'm publishing under the pen name Dianna Sanchez. Published by Dreaming Robot Press, the novel will initially be offered through a Kickstarter campaign beginning April 12, 2016, and will be generally available in September 2016.

Stay tuned for more details!

Definitely NOT a Daily Science Haiku - Turing Test

No More Daily Science Haikus

Hi, all. I've decided to stop writing daily science haikus for a couple of reasons.

1. While it was fun at first, the challenge has sort of gone out of it. Rather than being a fun thing I do every day, it has become a chore, and I have enough of those already.
2. It encourages me to faff about the Internet, rather than getting actual work done.

That said, I will likely still post haikus from time to time, because faffing happens anyway. We'll see...

Thanks to everyone who's been following and commenting.
