Ice that cake, baby
(What??!! A non Saturday Morning Post on Saturday??? What happened?? So, so many things. Just get over it.) Ah. It’s good to be back. *I lean back sipping my London fog and wondering who I am because whenever I go anywhere I always order a chai tea latte but what the heck* I once more…

Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 63
“In Februarywinter can sometimes lose her magicthe earth had stood frozen and coldand hard for nights and longer nightsand days and grey filled daysall the grass and all the dirt crunches beneath your salt-stained bootsand there is ice on the pavement and snow on top of itand snow and snow and snow” I wrote that…

animal companions for your heroes and villains
The only pets I’ve ever had were hamsters when I was a kid. Though I love them dearly, I do wonder if owning hamsters was more traumatizing than anything else. One of my go-to stress dreams is of hamsters running amok in the house and me desperately trying to contain them. Also the first hamster…

the romantic and the depressed
I decided to be super organized and actually planned out all my blog posts for the month of January, to ensure I would actually, you know, write blogs. However, I took one look at today’s topic, crumpled it, and hurled it out the window into the snow to freeze. I have thus arrived with no…

Vibes and Aesthetics Only: Winter Edition
So the northeast got a big dumping of snow a few days ago, which meant I received a big dumping of snow. Woke up Monday morning to the cars practically buried in the driveway, and when (thanks due to dad and the neighbor) I got on the highway, it was one lane that was vagueishly…

My (hopefully) triumphant return
Well, I’m back. Before I start this….is anyone listening?? It’s been so long I feel like I’m in an underground bunker, desperately manning the radio and sending out Morse code, hoping someone else survived the global nuclear meltdown. My last post was – good golly – on Oct 31st, appropritaly titled “I only come out…

You never know what’s gonna happen: 6 years of NaNoWriMo
(I haven’t written a blog since October 6th??? Hahah, WHOOPS) Before we get into this, let’s do a quick recap: yes, I have been terribly absent from the blogsphere, and doing a not-to-good job at being consistent on Instagram, but I’m giving it my best shot, alright?? I have a lot of editing to do,…

Writing is Not a DIY Project
I have drafted quite a few novels over the years (12 I think??? Geez), but I still can tell you, every time I sit down to do prep before I write a novel…I’m never sure what it was I did the last time. BUM BUM BUM It’s officially October, which means preptober for those of…

Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 61
1. September 22nd. It’s officially fall. And it couldn’t be a better first, fall morning at 8am. It’s dark and deeply overcast. It’s cool, and already there are brown leaves scattered across the lawn. The rain is steady, soft drifts of it coming down. It patters with a metallic thunk on the cars, drips and…

Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 60
1. I think contentedness is better than happiness. Or maybe I simple prefer the word content to happy. Both are emotions. But happiness evokes a evokes a certain vibe, a style, an emotion that demands certain mannerisms. Happiness is energy. Happiness is yellow. Happiness can feel frail, always on the verge of flying away, forgetting…
