Deb Taber
Excerpt
As an idea, the mudfrogs were an amusing joke, an interesting anomaly that crept in from the riverbanks to the city at night, singing their reeling tunes. As a reality, they were pests that shat everywhere when they weren't croaking up a mighty storm. They left their putrid brown trails on every park bench, sidewalk, and road in the city, yet no one had ever seen one eat.

Writing Description
My work explores the shadowy side of human nature and the alien in the everyday. Themes of art, performance, and the darker side of beauty tend to seep into my words no matter what I do, as does an occasional bit of dark humor.
Goals
I'll be writing for 30 minutes per day, five days per week.
