  • The Monday Morning Reset Button.

    People are creatures of habit, sure, some of us more than others, and, I’ve found, authors even more more so than others. We like things to happen in a certain way; we have specific times for writing, for editing, for whatever else we might do. I, personally, am very big on systems, and in I…

  • #BlackLivesMatter

    I usually don’t like to get too political on my blog. The current state of things is such a confusing mess that even I’m not sure what my thoughts are, and there are things like our current racial division in the U.S. that makes me feel upset, confused, and generally voiceless. I’m a white girl…

  • One Day…

    I came across this beautifully done little quote on my Tumblr the other day, and, man, do I want to just have it painted on the wall across from where I sit when I work so that I can constantly remind myself that, yes, someday, all of this hard work will pay off. The writing…

  • And it’s Purple!

    Hey, everybody! Guess what I’m doing right now! If you guessed that I’m writing this from my brand new laptop, then you’re really smart, really lucky, or you’ve been spying on me, and that’s not cool. But I finally went and dropped the money on a new computer, and, while it means not having two…

  • This Post is a Bunch of Ads.

    Holy smokes, check it out! Three posts in a row! How’s that for a comeback? I haven’t gotten the new computer yet, but the boyfriend’s schedule has me waiting in the back room at work this past weekend, and I wanted to make sure I take advantage of it in whatever way I can. But…

  • Lost and Found.

    To be honest, I’m surprised I ever thought it would work. When my last laptop putzed out on me months ago, I thought I could squeeze out a system of using the computers available at my job every once in a while to update my blog, type up some stories, send some stories out, that…

  • The Case of the Disappearing Blog.

    Well, hello there, strangers. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Don’t worry; I assure you that I’m still out there, somewhere, scribbling words and losing track of too many ideas. And I’m back for another attempt to breathe life back into my blog and my web presence, in the flailing struggle that has ensued since…

  • An Interview with Shan Jeniah Burton. [WUR 2015]

    We are well overdue for an interview with May’s featured WUR author, Shan Jeniah Burton, considering that we’re already into May! Thanks a lot, computer and smelly crew room! We’ll be switching up the featured story soon, but you still have a few more days to read Shan’s story, “Monday Morning Coffee” before the new…

  • Fun While it Lasted…

    So, my grand scheme of getting to do some work and writing and blogging on the team member computers in the back room of my place of employment while waiting for my boyfriend to finish his shifts since we’re carpooling at the moment has not been working out very well. It’s been a good two…

  • What to Write?

    One of the most profound struggles I have regarding this blog and my current computer-less status is that I feel that, whenever I do have access to a computer at work while waiting for my boyfriend to finish his shift, I know I should use the time to write up a post, but I very…
