I only come out during Halloween at midnight
(Once more I come back to apologize for not posting consistently. I also have dropped the ball on Instagram once again, but I have “thoughts” on that, and I also have like commented and….two people’s blog this month. Sorry guys. This year has been very wonky for me but that’s a whole other post.) I’m…

a fall mood blog for all us freaks buying pumpkins in august
I uh….love fall (on the Buzzfeed quiz I got 100% autumn) If I could enter through a pumpkin portal into a perpetually fall world, I would and I would stay there (with an occasional vacation because I also like being warm). (Also, please understand that though my love for fall is endless and knows no…

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…

Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstien
It’s ALL HALLOW’S EVE (THAT’S HALLOWEEN PEOPLE.) and that means: *drumroll* LEAVES! CANDY! WALKING AROUND IN COSTUMES! But anyway. Last year I wrote When You Find out You’re a Writer (and Arsenic and Old Lace). So THIS year, I did another themed post, but this one is: *drumroll again please* When You Have a New…

Writerly Costumes Ideas for the Upcoming Festivities
If I had it my way, I would wear costumes all the time. OK, maybe not all the time, but I would wear a cloak to the grocery store if it was socially acceptable and people wouldn’t trip their carts on it. But this time of year – all the costumes!!! So, I’ve compiled a…

When You Find out You’re a Writer (and Arsenic and Old Lace)
Next week is Halloween (“All Hallows Eve” is what I celebrate but for the general public’s sake, I’ll just go with Halloween). In honor of it being so close to that night (AND NANOWRIMO. Calm down, this has nothing to do with Nanowrimo, I’m just REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT) of candy and pixies, I am…

And So, It Begins: Nanowrimo 2016
Last night, while sitting on the couch, after a lovely night of sitting on the driveway in a pirate costume (I will say I looked awesome) with my neighbors and family, and after watching Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, I suddenly jerked up. “It’s two hours till Nanowrimo starts!” As soon as (and I mean literally)…
