Good witching hour, my lovely readers.

As I sit here, staring into the blinding blue light of my computer screen without my glasses, I find the need to make *an announcement*. As some of you may have read on a previous post, sometime in January, you may recall a promise I made. A promise to write and post more light-hearted, silly, and absurd pieces. That promise has remained unfulfilled.

Until now.

A few days or weeks ago (really, who’s counting anymore?) I started a new piece. I knew it was going to be longer than the usual Hero/Villain pieces, and from the outset I knew it was a different type of story all together. I was in a place where I needed fluff and happy endings, and what do you know, Muse was kind enough to prompt me to begin what is shaping up to be a three part story.

Dish and Spoon (formally When the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon) started off vague, little more than drivel about a soup bowl who was lonely and just wanted to be useful. But as I started working on this idea in earnest, I discovered I had inadvertently began a retelling story. It was unintentional, but I’m pleased with where this story went.

It’s lighthearted and fluffy, with zero to no stakes, and so so different from my H/V pieces. But I love it. It’s allowed me to be indulgent and loquacious and overly verbose, and to tell a story that’s pure. Another thing that sets it apart from pervious posts on 2 Hour Tales is that it’s a serial. The first part will be published tomorrow, and hopefully the other two parts will follow very soon afterwards.

And it’s not the only serial story I have in the works. I have another that requires a little more work, but one that I enjoyed developing in a different format, over a year ago (but that’s all I’m going to say on that matter. Its time will come).

Anyways. That is my update. I leave you in anticipation.

Now let’s post this before I can be distracted by any more texts from a fellow sleep-deprived writer friend.

Sweet nightmares, my darlings.
