I walk like a trapped wolf on a path of cement. I hung the sidewalks like I'm sniffing for blood. But I'm looking for escape. Or I'm looking for the sun. I'm looking for that place east of it and west of the moon. I look for it in books like I look for it … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 43
2020 Wrap Up: the Year to End All Years
Well, 2020 is over folks, though that doesn't mean this year is going to be infinitely better than the last (don't mean to be a Puddleglum here), and if it's not, we can't say "well, it's 2020" anymore, so what are we gonna do??? What are we gonna blame it on now?? But anyway, with … Continue reading 2020 Wrap Up: the Year to End All Years
The Shallow End of Point of View (let’s build the TENSION)
POV (point of view) is something that is discussed A LOT when it comes to writing/stories. Because it IS that important. You gotta make sure you pick the right POV(s). You gotta make sure it's in voice of the character. If you go for deep POV, you gotta make sure you're doing that right by … Continue reading The Shallow End of Point of View (let’s build the TENSION)
Writing Routines: the Writer, the Myth, the Legend (good luck trying to follow my train of thought here)
Writing bloggers: Here is how I write a novel: One, I take the idea and put it in a special box. Two, I start working on character profiles. Three - Me: I AM CHAOS. The more I write and edit, the more I find I rarely do something the same way twice. The only thing … Continue reading Writing Routines: the Writer, the Myth, the Legend (good luck trying to follow my train of thought here)

Little Women 2019: I came, I watched, I had thoughts
Ok so I watched the 2019 Little Women. I expected to either have a really ANGRY review of how much I hated it, or a GUSHING review of how much I loved it. And I'm just....meh??? Like I don't have many feelings about it? There was a lot I really, really, really liked. And I … Continue reading Little Women 2019: I came, I watched, I had thoughts
Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 11
Go do yourself a favor and listen to the Mandalorian soundtrack on Spotify. Right now. I watched Star Trek: the Motion Picture this week which I haven't watched in YEARS. My sister had never seen it before and....I don't think she was that impressed (honestly, it was a looooooot sloooooooower than I remembered it being.) … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 11
Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 8
*creaks open the door to my bunker* "Is it over yet guys?" *man in a hazmat suit and disinfectant comes running at me* *ducks back down* Besides the Attack of the Great Spider (please put out a notice that Shelob is NOT welcome in my bathroom), it's been fairly smooth sailing around these parts. I … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 8
Writerly Rants: Part 2
Remember that rant I posted a several weeks ago? Well...there's more to it. (Some of these are not particular to written fiction. Some of these things are in movies that drive me banana balls). *enter rant* 1: Stuttering Yes, people stutter when they talk. So yes, you should put stuttering into your dialogue. Just....do it … Continue reading Writerly Rants: Part 2
