Ch-Ch-Changes
Remember me? Remember this blog? Good. Because I’m finally coming back. Life has been, well… life. I’ve had a lot to deal with, and now I feel ready to be back and writing. There will be some changes, thankfully they will all be cosmetic. I’m planning on updating the look …
The Increasingly Misnamed Short Story (AKA, This is A Not-So-Short Story, pt. 39): Whoa, it’s Actually Back
It’s been some time, hasn’t it? Well, it’s back yet again. It’s a brand, spanking new installment. Forgot about how we got here? New to the story? You can find all of the previous installments over here. As before, this work is copyright to Emily Rush. All rights reserved… yada …

A Life Update
It’s still been some time since I’ve been back here writing… and it’s something that I admit I haven’t been doing as well as I might. There are many reasons why I haven’t written all that much. My stress had been through …
Little Girl Lost
There are things that are hard for me to describe, even as a decently educated writer. The hardest is to explain what being triggered is like. It’s not just discomfort or being upset. I wish it were simple. Then again, of PTSD were easy to understand, then there wouldn’t be as …
Stop Pointing Fingers
In the wake of this last clusterfuck of reality that we are now forced to deal with, there’s one thing that stands out more than anything. There is a ridiculous amount of finger-pointing going on. There are the standard blame third-party voters. This I understand… and Libertarians are taking the …
