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…

One Quirk Later Flashfiction–So done being kidnapped
Hello friends! We’re less than two weeks into October, but November is already looming on the horizon. If you, like me, are considering participating in Nanowrimo, you understand why this is a cause for loud dismayed squawking. I’m attempting to “plan” and “plot” and “at least find place-holder names for my characters” and all kinds…

One Quirk Later Flashfiction–radio broadcasts and angst
Hello friends! –So the final book of a series I’m reading (The Riverman Trilogy by Aaron Starmer) just came in the mail and I am FREAKING OUT. I told myself I will finish this post before I start reading it, so be proud of me. I’m so responsible. (But also I’m honestly SO SCARED to…

Summer recap–rereads, writing projects, and-whoa, podcasts exist
Hello friends! The summer is ending/has ended/it wasn’t even summer in the first place if you live in the southern hemisphere– Let’s just say, it’s the end of August. As always, I spent the summer: consuming as much art as possible in various forms doing my best to create some art of my own actively…

“Never Have I Ever” Writer tag–feat. research, yelling, and lost fairies
Hello there! I hope you are all well! Today I’ll be participating in the “Never Have I Ever” Writer tag (hence the title). Because it looks like fun, or because I have no original ideas for a blog post today? Yes. I saw this tag a while back on C.G. Drews blog Paperfury and couldn’t…

One Quirk Later Flashfiction–sisters, banter, and sad balloons
Hello friends! This past week was…quite a week. Physical and emotional exhaustion have been running rampant through my life, and clearly the only thing to do is retreat to a dark corner of the house to watch Avatar The Last Airbender with my sisters in an effort to block out reality make a healthy recovery.…
