One Quirk Later #8–Devious Plots and Allergies

Hello friends! Yes, I did in fact fall off the face of the earth for a bit there, but I climbed back up so everything’s good now, eh? The fact is, I’ve been frightfully busy, but no amount of busyness could prevent me from participating in Jem Jones‘ latest quirk! (Wow. I’m really tempting fate […]

Anti-New Year’s Resolution Update–self-worth, snippets, and–wait, am I Rei?

What up, blog dogs? HELLOOOOOOO, WORLD! ….Hi, friends. I’m still alive. I’m still around. Just…busy. Being an Adult. *sigh* We are nearing the halfway mark of the year (cue the Twilight Zone theme as we slow-zoom on the calendar), so I thought now might be a good time to look back on my New Year’s […]

Introducing my latest WIP– feat. airships and sleep-deprivation

Hello, friends! I’ve mentioned my unruly WIP a few times now, but I haven’t told you anything about it. Perhaps it’s time for proper introductions? For a while, I mostly wrote contemporary. Everything was very character-based, not a lot in the plot department. Also, 5 out of my first 6 books were written in first […]

One Quirk Later #7–disaster child makes poor decisions

Hello, friends! I’m back again (a few days behind schedule, but shhhhhh) to participate in Jem Jones’ One Quirk Later flashfiction series! In case you are not acquainted with this wonderful madness, the gist of it is as follows: Jem gives us pictures. We write flashfiction. We all read each other’s flashfiction and SCREAM. More […]

Just a dash of angsty flashfiction–feat. blood and an existential crisis

Hello, friends! I started planning a post for today. It was going to be a discussion post about complicated, controversial topics and be very thoughtful and….and then I realized a) I am somewhat dead from wrestling with my current WIP and do not have that kind of mental energy, and b) I am a small […]

A Bookish Questions tag–feat. plans for when I’m a little old granny

Hello, friends! I have been tagged by the lovely Evelyn @ The Rain-drenched Writer to answer some book-related questions (created by Madison). An excuse to talk about books? This is my JAM. You can read Evelyn’s post here (and you SHOULD because there are GOREGOUS pictures of LIBRARIES). Let’s get to the questions, shall we? […]

One Quirk Later Flashfiction–macaroni and gob-rats

Hello, friends! So first of all, I’m going to start trying to post every week instead of every other week (hence the fact that I’m posting today). How long will this last?? Who can say. But on to more important things! Today, as you may have cleverly deduced from the title of this post, I […]

I wrote every day…for 5 years–what have I learned?

On December 31, 2015 I unofficially resolved to write something every day of 2016. I told myself it was “unofficial” because I wasn’t very confident that I could actually follow through. But I did. I wrote something–be it a free verse poem, a page of a story, a paragraph describing a trashcan, or a dialogue […]

2020 Recap-discoveries, first attempts, and books galore

Hello and Happy New Year, friends! So. 2020. It happened. That’s all I’m going to say about that. So let’s move on to talking about fiction! I consumed a lot of art this year. I devoured art. Escapism? ….Possibly. In the process of voraciously devouring all kinds of art, I made some new discoveries. Discoveries […]

Nanowrimo- Did I win? Am I alive? Do I have snippets?? (Yes, I do)

*crawls into the room on hands and knees and collapses on the floor* WELL. I didn’t specifically say that I was going to completely disappear for a month and a half (because…I didn’t know myself), but judging by the subject of my last post, I doubt anyone is particularly surprised. But I know what you’re […]
