  • RoW80 Check-In: Nice While It Lasted.

    So, it’s official. I’m now part-time employed at a local grocery store as a cashier, thus dashing my plans of working on nothing but my writing for the time being. Granted, I’ve asked for only around ten hours a week and it’s significantly less demanding than my previous full-time assistant general manager position, but part…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Steady as she Goes.

    Well, we’ve taken a dive into May, the weather outside actually felt quite a bit like springtime for a change, and it’s time for another RoW80 Update! I have pretty “boring,” steady goals, so the update isn’t exactly exciting, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. No news is good news when it comes to…

  • RoW80 Update: Wednesday Already?

    Due to my current bout of Writer’s Fatigue, the last few days have been kind of a mopey blur, and I can’t believe it’s already time for a Wednesday RoW80 update. Weird how time, for something measured in such precise and specific increments, seems to relatively fluctuate immensely. Either way, despite feeling like I haven’t…

  • Aww Yiss…..Monday!

    Not gonna lie. This is how I feel about Mondays: You see, as I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I love Mondays. Mondays are like a great big old reset button, so that no matter how last week was, this week is a new, fresh one where you can start over and do better. Not…

  • RoW80 Update: A Wild Goal Appears!

    It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for another RoW80 update! Today’s update is the good kind of update, too, where I don’t have much to report on because things have been going nice and smooth. With nothing big really happening except for the steady progression of my goals, one might even go as far as…

  • Searching for Inspiration for Contemporary Novels.

    Writer’s block has never really been a problem for me. At any given moment, I could tell you about at least five different novel ideas that I’ve got in my pocket. More often than not, though, those novels are genre fiction. Fantasy, science fiction, horror. This is the stuff I love to read and the…

  • The Spark of a Massive Collaboration?

    So, the boyfriend and I finally went to go see Captain America: the Winter Soldier yesterday, and it was really, really, really good. As usual, I left the theater feeling pretty charged and excited. Marvel movies these days have that effect on me, and I really hit the jackpot on figuring out why. This latest…

  • 100 Books: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World.

    “In a flash, only thirty years, the Mongol warriors would defeat every army, capture every fort, and bring down the walls of every city they encountered. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus would soon kneel before the dusty boots of illiterate young Mongol horsemen.” “Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World” by Jack Weatherford…

  • RoW80 Update: A Day Late…

    …and (several) dollars…well, you know how the rest of it goes. I started typing a post for yesterday’s A Round of Words in 80 Days check-in, got about half-way through, and decided to just take the day off. It was a late start, not because of Easter, as I don’t celebrate Easter unless I’m home…

  • 100 Books: The Haunting of Hill House.

    “…it might not then be too fanciful to say that some houses are born bad.” “The Haunting of Hill House” by Shirley Jackson When it comes time to return to working on Rosewood Manor, I know exactly what book will be coming off the shelves to reread to help inspire that great, brooding, heavy feeling…
