Challenges

  • Review: Naked.

    “The experience left her with a certain haunted quality I very much admired. She’d looked into the face of something horrible, and I wanted to know what that felt like.” “Naked” by David Sedaris There are plenty of really stellar and poignant quotes from David Sedaris’s collection of episodic memoirs, Naked, that I like much…

  • Another Sunday RoW80 check-in has sneaked up on me yet again, but I’m fairly okay with it, because it’s a post that requires a celebration. Another one of my goals for this round has been knocked out cold! Serpent in a Cage Version 3.5 is officially transcribed! The document is saved in both my Google…

  • #BookADay Post I.

    Due to the nature of my blog, my personal time constraints, and the unexpected blips like my last computer being rendered defunct like the Wicked Witch of the West (that is, thanks to H2O), I usually don’t participate in a lot of daily challenges that pop up around the web. Still, the #BookADay challenge really…

  • Some of you may have noticed yesterday that I’ve been M.I.A. due to a broken computer and anxiously awaiting a new one. That new computer has (finally!) arrived, so now we’ve back in business, and it’s time to really reconnect with my RoW80 goals, especially as we’re heading on toward the finish line of this…

  • When I realized yesterday that I would have to make a RoW80 post today, I was a little taken aback. It was Sunday already? I guess the week has been kind of a blur from balancing the new job, my writing work, time with my boyfriend, and trying not to die on HabitRPG. That’s not…

  • It’s Wednesday, time for another exciting RoW80 update!!! Okay, maybe not so exciting as all that, but I feel that’s how I know something is being done right. There’s not a lot to say because things are moving steadily along, getting done, and keeping on track. Awesome for productivity; not so awesome for interesting blog…

  • Here we are, moseying on up to another RoW80 check-in, and I still don’t feel like I’ve done anything to develop new goals for the round. It isn’t that I haven’t been getting anything done, I have, but, with balancing the new part-time job and deciding on a new project while Soulless is off to…

  • I’ve reached the point in my RoW80 journey where my first goal is basically complete. Soulless has been shipped off to beta readers and the Kickstarter has launched. There’s little to do with it now except continue to plan for my cover design (which image do you like best?) and promoting aforementioned Kickstarter (without getting…

  • Well. I finally forced myself to step away from the manuscript and send copies of Soulless out to my beta readers (and I’d still love to take on a few more, if anyone else would like to help me out! Just let me know!), which means I have to step away and leave it alone…

  • Author Quotes: Lewis.

    “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” -C.S. Lewis This little nugget of hope was recently posted over at Nhan-Fiction, and it was a great reminder to come across at this point in my life. I’ve always been a fan of Lewis, though his philosophy on many things differs from my own. This,…
