  • Over the Garden Wall.

    CAN WE PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO DISCUSS “OVER THE GARDEN WALL“???? (Yes, it requires all-caps and bold letters). “Over the Garden Wall” is a five-episode, ten-chapter miniseries that aired on Cartoon Network last week, and it was practically perfect in every way. It tells the tale of Wirt and Gregory, two brothers who find…

  • When a Story Surprises You.

    More often than not, I honestly feel like stories have a way of taking on a life of their own. A good example is Serpent in a Cage, which constantly finds itself diverting from my main idea and rewriting itself. I’m also getting small surprises as I scribble away at Heartless for NaNoWriMo, despite knowing…

  • It seems that, just when I have my world finally aligned and calibrated, something shifts and sets it off-kilter again. This last week has been a strange one for me, not because I’ve had any strange scheduling to deal with or anything like that, but just because it seems that the way I was doing…

  • Man, this week has kind of been a mess for me. I’ve been all over the place, staying up way too late, sleeping in too late, too, and doing a really poor job of keeping all my goals in check and my work finished. It happens. I was having a pretty awesome streak for a…

  • New RoW80 Goals!

    Today begins a new Round of Words in 80 Days, which means a new set of goals to carry me through to the end of the year. This last round is always a little awkwardly placed for me, because NaNoWriMo tends to fall smack dab in the middle of it. With that taken into consideration,…

  • Big Fish, Little Fish.

    So, I came across this article from Levo (and I love the title they gave it in the coding; very clever!), a brief discussion on whether it may be better to be a big fish in a little pond or a small fish in a big pond. Both have their merits, as well as their…

  • It’s funny how the world can shift, isn’t it? Not too long ago, my Wednesday check-ins were my better check-ins, filled with all the work I used to get done on Monday and Tuesday, since the weekend left me scrambling for an update on very little for Sundays. Now that I’ve moved into a new…

  • So, a while ago, Infinite Free Time put up this post about ten awesome fictional female characters (all of whom I agree with completely), and I thought of doing the same, but I don’t know how I could possibly choose ten of my favorites, and another thought struck me to turn it into shameless self-promotion.…

  • The past two days have been…interesting, if you couldn’t tell by the fact that my RoW80 update is a day late. Aside from my minor meltdown and applying for a perfect, bigger-than-expected, totally-in-love-with-it, vintage ’20s apartment (which I am waiting to hear back from with bated breath; the guy said he’d get in touch once…
