  • 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…

  • A funny thing happens when you quit your day job and take an impromptu trip to Michigan to crash at your parents’ place for a week. Inspiration, which you’ve been mostly too tired or braindead to truly appreciate, comes rushing back to you like a tidal wave and you want to write all the things.…

  • As I’ve been talking about ad nauseum here on the blog, my focus on becoming a full time writer starts next month when I finally say good-bye to the dreaded Day Job. This means putting a new focus on creating more content (my biggest faux pas at the moment), getting back in touch with writerly…

  • Content in your Pockets.

    Every so often, a thought hits me and it inspires a mild panic in me, and a great desire to have more time to do what I truly love (which is writing, duh). Ever since I pooled together all my short stories of the past decade and put them together to publish Bowlful of Bunnies,…

I have, unfortunately, not had the time to promote it as much as I would…

  • Rejection!

    I received a rejection letter today. It wasn’t of a literary variety, though, more of a monetary one, but it did get my brain thinking about rejection letters in general. It’s been a while since I’ve received one in regard to my work, not because I’ve been churning out some brilliant stuff, but because I…

  • Those of you who follow this blog will know that I was recently promoted in my field of work. It was a pretty big step up and, in this company, it’s usually a fast-track toward more promotions. They really weren’t kidding; I received some excellent news yesterday that I’m scheduled to attend their first management…

  • For the Holiday Season, which is upon us in full swing despite the sad lack of snow outside of my window right now, you’ll have to forgive me a little bit of advertising. Or a lot more advertising to come, as I’m starting to try to get back into the swing of focusing on my…
