• #BookADay Post II.

    Well, here we are, for another installment of my somewhat disjointed #BookADay journey through June! Today’s six entries still don’t catch me up, but, by the next post, I should definitely be there, if not a little closer. I’m unable to do this every day, so it’s more #BookEveryFewDays for me. Whatever. It’s a chance…

  • I walk the line.

    If you read my last RoW80 update, you’d have noticed I’m in a little bit of a funk, and, this morning, it hit me like a brick wall exactly why I’ve been feeling that way. I have to admit, it’s pretty uplifting to understand yourself so deeply that you can pinpoint the source of a…

  • Though I know I sometimes get this weird funk going on during the weekends where I feel all my focus is completely gone and I can’t get anything accomplished, I truly feel like this last week of RoW80‘s Round 2 has been all about recharging. It’s been an odd week, full of things that have…

  • Author Quotes: Lin.

    “He who is afraid to to use an ‘I’ in his writing will never make a good writer.” -Lin Yutang I recently came across this quote in a book about hsiao-p’in poetry, describing how hsiao-p’in distinguished itself by being much more personal. Instead of tapping into the grand universal truths of the world, they looked…

  • I’m stealing some more questions from a post by Harliqueen, because they’re just so gosh darn good and it makes for an easy post topic for me. Granted, this is a romance weekly thing that a few blogs do, and Soulless is definitely not a romance, but I’m going to do these three questions, anyway,…

  • I’m sure there’s a few people out there who will roll their eyes or groan when I say this, but sometimes, it’s tough being so proficient. It’s been a good Round of Words in 80 Days for me, but I feel as though it’s about 10 days too much. I knocked out some pretty heavy…

  • So, Harliqueen had a post on her blog the other day as part of a blog hop, with a few questions to answer about the main character of your book. Naturally, I had to swipe the questions even though I’m not officially participating in anything, because I am shameless when it comes to stuff like…

  • Review: Naked.

    “The experience left her with a certain haunted quality I very much admired. She’d looked into the face of something horrible, and I wanted to know what that felt like.” “Naked” by David Sedaris There are plenty of really stellar and poignant quotes from David Sedaris’s collection of episodic memoirs, Naked, that I like much…

  • Another Sunday RoW80 check-in has sneaked up on me yet again, but I’m fairly okay with it, because it’s a post that requires a celebration. Another one of my goals for this round has been knocked out cold! Serpent in a Cage Version 3.5 is officially transcribed! The document is saved in both my Google…

  • As we race toward the finish line for raising money for Soulless, I wanted to offer a few more tidbits of incentive to join the fun and donate with a few character snippets. Now, it’s a little difficult to explain too much about the characters without giving things away, which is why I’ve been fairly…
