• Some of you may have noticed yesterday that I’ve been M.I.A. due to a broken computer and anxiously awaiting a new one.

  • Dat Unexpected Hiatus.

    Some of you may have noticed things being a little quiet on the L.S. Engler front. Some of you might not have noticed anything at all. Either way, there’s a very good (and somewhat tragic) reason for this sudden absence. While the water I spilled on my Chromebook did not have any negative effects on…

  • When I realized yesterday that I would have to make a RoW80 post today, I was a little taken aback. It was Sunday already? I guess the week has been kind of a blur from balancing the new job, my writing work, time with my boyfriend, and trying not to die on HabitRPG. That’s not…

  • My, How Time Flies.

    Recently, I finally got around to putting up a calender and keeping track of the days with it, something I started to make myself a little bit more aware of the passage of time. The only thing that it’s really resulted in is making me feel much more organized and on top of things than…

  • Author Quotes: Adler.

    “In the case of good books the point is not how many of them you can get through but rather how many can get through to you.”–Mortimer Adler. This beauty popped up on another great quote post from interesting literature, one I take a particular liking to after Lauralynn Elliott‘s Facebook post asking how man…

  • Here we are, moseying on up to another RoW80 check-in, and I still don’t feel like I’ve done anything to develop new goals for the round. It isn’t that I haven’t been getting anything done, I have, but, with balancing the new part-time job and deciding on a new project while Soulless is off to…
