Zara Calico Author's Page
Best tread lightly if you're using my feet.
I, Zara (she/them) try to do a whole lot of nothing around here whilst still doing a whole lot of something.
However, I am a prize-winning writer, photographer and artist who is happy to devote as much time as I can helping people with their drafts and artistic expression.
When not critiquing or generally being awesome, I write. Here are some things I wrote.
The Kit Series
The Kit series is well over 10 Tales long at the time of writing. Rather than listing them all here, I advise you to click the above link to go to Kit's Hub.
My One-Shit Tales, Stories, Rambles and More
2018
'Linked hand in hand, mother and child both knew as soon as they hit the threshold, Katie would disappear.'
' Her grave was simple. “Memento Mori”, it said, because that’s all that could be read clearly on her arm in a red Sharpie at the beauty spot.'
'You can get everything rebuilt these days. Your tits, your arse, your face…'
' I remembered the taste of leaves in my mouth.'
2019
Change Your Past in One Easy Step!
'Want to tell past you something of serious importance that could cause a risk to national security?'
Years after 2019 but before 3019
How Not to Ouija; a Hallowen Spooktacula
‘How Not to Ouija, and Other Halloween Psychology Experiments for Idiots.’
'A monster with nails as long as claws, black gaps where its eyes should be, and a hunger for something food could not satiate.'
'Still, it was okay, I eventually came to learn, because that was not me in the photos; I was debris.'
I helped the site once upon a time a time a time a time
I have only been helpful to the site in a larger way, once, when I kinda sorta helped with a crosslink guide.
If you excuse me, I have a lie to live; personal shit that is personal goes here
- I have a cat. She is 9. She has a pun name, Purrcilla, like the Australian drag queen bus but in cat form. She is a 6kg calico who threatens to crush me often if I don't feed her on time.
- I have a decreasing number of gerbils, but it's still a hoard. I have Tit, Pensri, Bodhi, Fawn and Fable.
- I now have 16 tattoos and I also have 16 piercings because I like to keep things equal.
- I vape all day, every day. I agree I don't know what it's going to do with my body.
- 'Choose Life' is a dying mantra.
- 'Trainspotting' is my favourite film and the hardest-to-read book. It is followed closely by 'Mad Max: Fury Road' because who couldn't love that piece of art?
- Writing and critiquing is my replacement second third fourth fifth addiction so I don't think about my actual addictions so much. So I'm here a lot, and I'm trying.
My best?
God, I hope not.
