No tease from me (I'd actually have to write something first) but I did post some useful writing related links courtesy of my university.

Not a tease, but would LOVE to hear what you think about novels written in present tense.

I teased from chapter 3 of Those Lost at Sea and Drowned. I'll get to everybody's teasers this afternoon and tomorrow, I'm going to take advantage of today's cool weather and do some bread baking.

Also, I just got the news yesterday that I'm in the top 10 of a flash fiction contest! They announce the winners in the beginning of August.
