  • 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…

  • Writer’s Fatigue.

    “”I’ve seen enough episodes of Friends to know that cohabitation leads to sex, drugs, and something Parade Magazine calls ‘Schwimmer Fatigue’.” –Shirley Bennett, Community (How is there not an image of this beautiful quote readily available? If I had an image program, I would make one, gosh darn it). It’s been a long, long time…

  • 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…

  • 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 One O’Clock Lull.

    I don’t know exactly what it is, but one thing I’ve definitively concluded since I started working from home is that I’m a morning person, and my productivity seems to completely drop off or need to be altered by about one o’clock. It’s almost like clockwork; I get up at either six or seven (depending…

  • 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…

  • 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: 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…

  • RoW80 Update: Whoopsies!

    Isn’t it interesting how, sometimes, we can be incredibly successful in so many things throughout the day, but then we manage to fail at one minute detail, and all those successes seem to fade into the background to make way for the pressing mar on our otherwise perfect day? That’s how I’m feeling right now,…

  • A Case of the Mondays.

    We’ve all heard it. Mondays suck. The weekend is over. Everyone’s suffering from a case of the Mondays. Well, I’m very pleased to rub it in everyone’s faces right now that, for me, a case of the Mondays is pretty much a case of awesome. Chalk it up as yet another fantastic part of quitting…
