One Quirk Later #10–a sandwich to make any janitor weep
Hello, friends! Today I’m once again inflicting angst on unsuspecting fictional characters joining Jem Jones’ One Quirk Later series! What fun! How it works: Observe prompt. Write words. Read words. General pterodactyl screaming. Be sure to check out Jem’s blog if you don’t already follow her, because REALLY now. Here’s the prompt: A few things…

8 Bookish Romances I actually…invented–featuring lolly pops and death
It’s that time of year again; that time of flowers and heart-shaped balloons and lovey-dovey-ness and–most importantly–chocolate that will be on SALE come February 15! (That’s the real holiday, folks) Last year I decided to actually acknowledge the holiday with this post in which I listed 8 Bookish Romances I actually support. I thought about…

One Quirk Later #9–not to get all poetical on you, but…
Hello, friends! The New Year is underway (regardless of whether or not we can recall the fact when we are writing out the date). What sort of year will it be? It’s too early to say. But one thing is for certain: it will be a year in which I will continue to participate in…

2021 Recap-The year of Fantasy and Sci-Fi, apparently–also jams and plot bunnies
Hello, friends! 2021 is leaving us. Wave to it as it passes! (You’re never going to see it again, so this is your last chance.) It has been a wild year. I’m still reeling from the past few months. But while there have been many setbacks, hardships, and what-the-heck-is-going-on??? moments, there have also been many…

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?…
