1. So I used to work at a toy store (for 4 years). As anyone who has worked retail can tell you, "I've seen some things." It was late. Or it probably wasn't so late. It was fall, so it could have been 4 pm yet it was pitch black outside. And here comes in … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 49
October Wrap Up: woodland kings, revisions, and one slow reader
So just realized that I didn't do an October wrap up last week because it slipped my mind because A: NaNoWriMo and B: I guess I don't want October to end but it is over so here we go. (Pause: did I ever tell you Midwest weather is insane?? Because right now it is *checks … Continue reading October Wrap Up: woodland kings, revisions, and one slow reader

I am now querying HER NAME WAS A GHOST (Aka, Silver) *screams* *buries face in pillow* *screams more* *runs around* *blow horns* *bangs pots and pans* *sits down spaced out wondering what the heck is happening* To repeat that again: I am now querying literary agents. For this past like YEAR … Continue reading I’m Querying?? Yes. Yes, it’s finally happening.

It's Saturday morning (last Saturday morning if you want to know). I wake up late (as does everyone) because last night we went to see Fellowship of the Ring (EXTENDED BABY) at the drive-in and I didn't get to sleep till around 2:30 (probably was pushing 3am). I was sitting in the back of my … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 25

Don’t be lazy; of it needs to be fixed, it needs to be fixed (oh look, it’s me talking about the woes of editing again)
So I was going to do a Father's Day themed post, but then like all the father characters I could think of were like, Mando (I actually thought of a lot more, like Stoick, Hawkeye, Tony Stark, etc. But they were all from movies, and I was like, "do fathers even EXIST in books? Like … Continue reading Don’t be lazy; of it needs to be fixed, it needs to be fixed (oh look, it’s me talking about the woes of editing again)

So I just found out about fiction ghostwriting this week...and I'm kinda weirded out? I understand ghostwriting for nonfiction. A lot of people with personal stories are necessarily writers, and need someone to work with them and yada yada yada. But fiction? I guess my question would be how much does the non writer put … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 15

Good morning. I hope everyone has not lost their minds yet. If you have, you have my deepest sympathy. Enough of virus talk though. I printed out Lily (PAUSE.

Every time I've been sitting down to write this, it turns into a whole 'nother blog post that requires it's own headline. So here I am, trying to write this for the THIRD time. Third time's a charm, right? Right???? I've said this before, and I'll say it again: this year has been going slow … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 5

Saturday Morning Post, Mid Week Thoughts
I'm writing this in the middle of the week, though this is my Saturday Morning Post (maybe that should become a thing? Like this is my column where I blather about anything I want to?) This January I've been scratching my head hard for content ideas (for my blog). Maybe because I've been feeling a … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Mid Week Thoughts
