  • Step Away from the Manuscript!

    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…

  • 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…

  • The Female-Driven Story of “Soulless.”

    When I set out to write Soulless, I knew my main character was going to be a strong hero of a slightly different ilk: she’s a woman, but her gender is basically non-essential to the plot. I could hop in, switch all her gender pronouns to the masculine, and nothing else would need to be…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • RoW80 Update: Almost Settled.

    It’s been almost a month now since I quit working full-time to focus on my writing, and I have to say, I think I’m almost settled into my new work routine. It’s still totally surreal, and I usually feel guilty during the evening because, though I have gotten a lot of work done, it doesn’t…

  • RoW80 Update: Where did the time go?

    It felt like just yesterday I was sitting here, thinking about my RoW80 goals, musing about how Sunday felt so far away and I had plenty of time to get things done. Then I realized it was Saturday, meaning tomorrow was Sunday, and I had to make sure I had some art to post and…

  • RoW80 Update: The End is only the Beginning.

    Yesterday, I officially finished the rough draft of Soulless (unless you count a potential epilogue that I’m still on the fence about). It’s been several years since I completely finished a rough draft of something, and the feeling is incredibly accomplished. The timing couldn’t be better, either, since Monday I was really feeling like I…
