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.

"I mean pants are basically a chair that you wear." SOMEONE (me) should really go home instead of shopping for upholstery at the craft store. (I just want to say that the selection was horrendous. All the fabric either looked like it came right out of 2008 or was taken from an old car.) I … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 33
September Wrap Up (aka NaNoWriMo is almost upon us)
IT'S OCTOBER. YAY FALL. *flings bats and leaves in the air* *catches the bats before they fall because if they fall on the ground they can't fly up again and they die* It's October which means pumpkins and flannels and tea and pumpkins and leather jackets and adventures and moodiness and *really should stop talking … Continue reading September Wrap Up (aka NaNoWriMo is almost upon us)
Saturday Morning Post Vol. 32
Let me tell you a story about a writer endlessly wandering her neighborhood. It's the height of the lockdown. April 59th. (Or was it March 33rd?). I feel like I remembering it being warm so it could by May 41st. But also....like I can remember when the lockdown began but not when it actually ended … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post Vol. 32

You know what I just remembered? Fall is almost here. PUMPKIN PANCAKES. While I'll miss summer, and am not quite excited to see what winter is like in a pandemic (cabin fever anyone????) I'm just sort of here like FALL FALL FALL FALL, if you haven't been able to tell. Fall makes me feel CREATIVE … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 30

No.) I broke into my very own house. *cue Mission Impossible theme* My sister and I went to see Jurassic Park at a drive-in this week (DINOSAURS). IT WAS GREAT. We sat in the back of my … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 20

Getting back to normal. But what the heck is normal? Is normal good? Do we even want to get back to normal? I do want to get back to normal BUT *and here we're gonna hold this thought* *also yes to normal meaning I want to be able to leave the house without reasonably worrying … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol 19

Another novel finished, another novel in the bag. (at least a first draft) I finished The Michigan Triangle this week, and that makes it my *digs out calculator* my 9th novel. The 6th first draft of a novel I've written in 4ish years. (I think I did that math right) UM, wow what? And how … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol, 16
Writing Like a Freight Train (I might kinda recommend it)
This is kinda of a long story so I'll try to sum up as nicely as possible. *ahem* A while back I had the idea to write a novel in a style I called "stream, of consciousness" or "brain dumping "(I know I know. That is basically pantsing but just bear with me alright). That … Continue reading Writing Like a Freight Train (I might kinda recommend it)
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
