Carla Blaschka took a whack at life and life whacked her back. Ow, she cried, she drank and lied until one night she spied, in black and white no less, an invite for to vie for a Hugo House writing prize. Feeling blessed she took a whack and found a knack for writing fresh and fast, oh what a blast that lasts. Her mundane job pays the bills with little frills but for a cat. She gets her thrills from romps within. Hand on chin she spins again her stories round her prompts. Her characters stay on page and live out all their days, color added to their black and white to make weird and wondrous ways. A challenge for each readers gaze. When at last she takes a nap, she calls it good and done, but she knows, in her writer’s doze that her characters lurk round the bend, ready to come out once again and tell their tale, in terms they alone hone. For any good character that you sow, you know, will grow a life all its own. / / She has published a book of short stories called "In The Soup."
