Good morning. Or good afternoon. Or whatever time of day you are reading this. But congratulations. You nearly made it to the end of 2020, a year no one saw coming, or at least I certainly didn't see coming, since I wrote this piece of gold at the beginning of the year: "2020 is cool. … Continue reading Mission Accomplished, Burn Out NOT Avoided
Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 39
Another NaNoWriMo won and done and in the bag *brushes off hands*. I finished at 1 am on Thanksgiving, fueled by brownie cheesecake. If lucky, I'm halfway through the novel and intend to continue writing it through December (I had this grand plan at the beginning of NaNo that I would finish it by the … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 39
Saturday Morning Post, Vol 38
*Sits down to write blog. Writes a blog. Hates that blog. Decides to write a new blog. Wants to write something but everything circles back to Covid and no one including herself wants to read any more about that. She needs someone to pull her away from ThredUp before she buys more sweaters* Hullo. "These … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol 38
Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 36
Hello all. I am currently writing this from my new laptop (can we just stop for a moment to talk about how hard it is to type on different keyboards? Like when you get a new laptop, or use someone else's and all of a sudden you're making a hundred typos because your hands don't … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 36
Introducing NaNoWriMo 2020 (let’s hope it’s not as bad as the rest of the year)
IT'S TIME. IT'S REALLY REALLY TIME. NaNoWriMo is coming up THIS WEEKEND. (AND The Mandalorian. We'll just ignore election day looming in the near distance). I'm am PUMPED. Oh and it's gonna be Halloween (almost time for me to sport my glow-in-the-dark elf years.) This will be my 5th year doing NaNoWriMo *gapes*. It's become … Continue reading Introducing NaNoWriMo 2020 (let’s hope it’s not as bad as the rest of the year)
We Found Inspiration in a Weird Place
I had a dream a giant flaming meteor had hurtled into earth and like half the buildings in New York were going down and we were all like "yep, that's 2020". Fun fact (that may or may not come in useful when writing): you can hear a car knocking over a street lamp from 1.5 … Continue reading We Found Inspiration in a Weird Place
Writing Struggles with J.R.R Tolkien
I was organizing my bookshelf last Saturday afternoon, as one does on Saturday afternoons. I picked up a book (as one does when organizing a bookshelf, completely abandoning the project originally started.) It was Humphrey Carpenter's Tolkien, a lovely '77 edition. Started reading it and found some quotes that are just GOLD and thought we … Continue reading Writing Struggles with J.R.R Tolkien
May Wrap Up: In Which the World is on Fire
Nationally and worldwide, May has been a rough month. There are crazy goofy things like murder hornets and monkeys escaping with COVID-19 (and monkeys on little motorbikes supposedly stealing children. I think this monkey thing is getting to my head cuz the other night I had a dream they were trying to get in my … Continue reading May Wrap Up: In Which the World is on Fire
Who knew that daydreaming could be so productive
So besides being slowly killed by Mother Nature (I mean "allergies"), I've been really missing one thing in particular (well a couple more things but whatever). D A Y D R E A M I N G Daydreaming in the car going to work. In the car back to work. Standing still for 20 min … Continue reading Who knew that daydreaming could be so productive
5 Elements I Love Writing in Stories
There are just some things I love to write (and some things I hate too...like oh gosh if characters have to kiss what do I do). Some things that show up because I WANT IT. (some things just don't show up enough in my opinion though my stories sometime have their own). So here are … Continue reading 5 Elements I Love Writing in Stories
