Well, it's been a while. I've never claimed to be good at this whole "blogging" thing. I tend to spend most of my time over at Twitter I'm not writing or reading. I tend to let the blog go on the backburner for a while. As I've clearly proved time and time again. I just don't … Continue reading Checking In
It's been a hard month of writing, y'all. Even with my semester being back in full swing, I'm barely scraping by. I had planned on finishing my YA Suburban Fantasy by August (then by mid-August, then by the end of August...) and that hasn't happened yet. I've been dealing with constant Depression Sessions and it's … Continue reading September Writing Goals
Howdy lovelies! I've been getting into the grove of things again and I'm only panicking a little because my first packet is due next week! Yikes! I've been working on a few different things all summer, namely my YA Fantasy and a YA Paranormal? Urban Fantasy? What would you call a book that happens when Buffy meets Hocus Pocus … Continue reading August Writing Update
I've been working at my Day Job non stop this entire week, and I've got doubles all weekend so I've got even less time than usual to write and read. Sometimes, I have to wonder, when does my Day Job stop becoming just that? A day job is meant to be a supplementary place of … Continue reading Weekend Writing Goals
Yesterday, I spent some time with my good good friend JM Tuckerman. We've been working on some fun projects together, including our new YA book blog, bookedallnight.blog! We've had a little writing project in the works for a little bit now and I'm excited to see it evolve, but we've also started podcasting again. The … Continue reading Weekend Writes
I've been called a lover of apps. Mozzarella sticks, nachos, onion rings... wait. Not those kinds of apps. What I actually mean are applications, useful bits of tech that make my writing process smoother and a little more enjoyable. I'll start this off by saying that none of these apps are sponsored, I'm just a … Continue reading Useful Apps for Writers
I spend most of my Mondays at work, usually 10 to 5, but because I work in a BBQ restaurant, not a lot of people want ribs for lunch (JM Tuckerman is, of course, the exception. She wants ribs all the time). So Mondays tend to be pretty slow at work, and my managers don't … Continue reading Monday Reads
It's October! I keep promising to keep up with this blog more, but I always end up crushed under a pile of other responsibilities that this ends up being the first casualty. So. I'm back! Maybe! So I was recently accepted in Sierra Nevada College's Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children & Young … Continue reading Reading & Writing & Surviving
Remember how I said that spring was coming? Yeah--Mother Nature made a liar out of me! It's not much, but it's enough to miss the few days we had of 50+ degree weather. I'm perfectly ready for winter to be done. While I love sitting at home, watching the snow fall and curling up with … Continue reading Mother Nature Will Never Decide
Okay, so maybe it's a little late for New Year's Resolutions, since you're typically supposed to make them on the first day of the new year, and not three weeks into the new year, but I'm an adult and I do what I want. I'm always complaining about how I never have any personal blog … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions
