  • #BookADay Post II.

    Well, here we are, for another installment of my somewhat disjointed #BookADay journey through June! Today’s six entries still don’t catch me up, but, by the next post, I should definitely be there, if not a little closer. I’m unable to do this every day, so it’s more #BookEveryFewDays for me. Whatever. It’s a chance…

  • So, Harliqueen had a post on her blog the other day as part of a blog hop, with a few questions to answer about the main character of your book. Naturally, I had to swipe the questions even though I’m not officially participating in anything, because I am shameless when it comes to stuff like…

  • #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…

  • This article from SheKnowsDaily popped up in my inbox recently, and I was incredibly excited to click it and be pleased to find someone talking about just letting toys be toys and not political statements.

  • In transcribing the current draft of Serpent in a Cage, as well as going through an old version of it, I came to the realization that I love a good fever dream. I’ve remarked about it on Twitter a few times, but it’s only until recently that I realized how much I use it. Both…

  • “Love is easy, and I love writing.” -Ray Bradbury. And I love Ray Bradbury (though I could really stand to have read more of his work). He’s easily the most quoted author on my blog, and I keep stumbling across more kernels of wisdom from him, making me decide that I would have really loved…

  • 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…

  • ACEN!

    Rather unexpectedly, I’m finding myself actually able to make it to Anime Central in Rosemont this year. While C2E2 is definitely my preferred Chicago-area convention, I wasn’t able to make it this year, so the impromtpu chance to hit up ACen was a nice surprise. ACen was actually my first con, so it has a…

  • I’m not sure if it’s the impending loss of my complete freedom, the change to the most beautiful spring weather EVER, or just the mere fact that the ending of this first edit of Soulless is so close I can taste it, but I have felt infused with this voracious appetite to write ALL THE…
