Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 59
It’s a clear morning, and it’s cool. There are no clouds in the sky, except for thin ones low on the horizon, sitting behind the trees like mist. A crow calls. Bugs hum and chirp in the branches, making the air vibrate with sound, a reminder that it is in fact still summer, though it…

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…

Saturday Morning Post Vol. 58
1. 4th of July weekend. The lake is wild today, white caps topping the waves like thick oil paint. The water itself is nearly three different colors, dark grey, green, and bright blue, as if the wind is mixing the water up and dividing it. Back across the road, they are setting up a carnival.…

Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 56
1. Being an introvert can be hard…(I’m an introvert, in case anyone didn’t know). Being an introvert can feel like you’re constantly trying to be more extroverted. Constantly pushing yourself to be more sociable, and constantly brushing up on your people skills. We usually don’t talk about the benefits of being an introvert. Only the…

um….I got published?!!??
(Yes, yes I know I said that I was getting back on a regular blogging schedule. And yes, I realize I did not post on Saturday. But that was because I had a performance on Friday (all day sort of thing), which is when I usually write my Saturday blogs. So really I just picked…

Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 53
(First off yes, I did fail to post on Wednesday, and have been absent for a few weeks from the blogging world in general. I could chop it up to “life”, an existential crisis, or the fact that Target was out of my favorite trail mix. What my absence really is about is this: some…

Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 51
(I feel like I should have made an Area 51 joke in this post or talked about aliens or something) 1. I’m not writing in my usual spot today. I’m sitting at the lake. Well, I’m sitting in my car in a parking lot looking at the lake. I can see the city of Cleveland…

Reading and Writing Nooks for You to Drool Over (and perhaps create for yourself)
I have a bit of an interior design…..obsession. I redecorate for all four seasons (too many knick knacks anyone??) and due to spending so much time rearranging and redecorating, I am a pro at moving furniture by myself that I probably shouldn’t be moving by myself (both for the furniture’s sake and mine). Anywho. (Speaking…

Vibe and Aesthetics Only (no plots allowed)
Writers get ideas for books in different ways. Sometimes plot comes first, sometimes characters, and sometimes….just vibes. I’m the third type. Vague character vibes, vague plot vibes….I could totally come up with a color palette but not a coherent plot. Plots come later. So I thought today I pull some pretty photos and just…vibe with…

Soundtracks by Mood: a Comprehensive Guide
I am one of those people who always writes to music. I never, never write without music playing. In fact, I’m listening to music right now. I actually listen to music pretty much constantly. I guess I just like life having a soundtrack. Like I live in a musical. Anywho. I generally listen to movie…
