  • 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…

  • RoW80 Update: Them Pesky Goals.

    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…

  • The River Runs Dry.

    Some days, you just can’t think of anything to post. Most of those days, I just don’t post. No big deal; I learned a while ago that there’s no point in stressing out over blogging every day. Other days, I realize I keep dying on HabitRPG, so I should post so don’t lose as many…

  • My Love of the Fever Dream.

    In transcribing the current draft of Serpent in a Cage, as well as going through an old version of it, I came to the realization that I love a good fever dream. I’ve remarked about it on Twitter a few times, but it’s only until recently that I realized how much I use it. Both…

  • But Concisely IS an Adverb.

    You know what I just thought of, while editing my Snow-White and Red-Rose retelling? Writing advice is always a little strange, quite a bit of give-and-take, since everyone has different styles and a lot of people effectively break the rules and create wonderful stuff. I’ve always taken the “Writing Rules” as general guidelines, but I…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Renewing my Goals.

    I’ve reached the point in my RoW80 journey where my first goal is basically complete. Soulless has been shipped off to beta readers and the Kickstarter has launched. There’s little to do with it now except continue to plan for my cover design (which image do you like best?) and promoting aforementioned Kickstarter (without getting…

  • Author Quotes: Bradbury.

    “Love is easy, and I love writing.” -Ray Bradbury. And I love Ray Bradbury (though I could really stand to have read more of his work). He’s easily the most quoted author on my blog, and I keep stumbling across more kernels of wisdom from him, making me decide that I would have really loved…

  • RoW80 Update: The Kickstarter Saga.

    Okay, so, today is yet another “sort-of” RoW80 update, because it’s focusing on a single goal and a single thing rather than a few of them. You may have noticed on my last update that I finished my goal of getting the first draft of Soulless edited and sent out to beta readers. Now that…

  • Step Away from the Manuscript!

    Well. I finally forced myself to step away from the manuscript and send copies of Soulless out to my beta readers (and I’d still love to take on a few more, if anyone else would like to help me out! Just let me know!), which means I have to step away and leave it alone…

  • ACEN!

    Rather unexpectedly, I’m finding myself actually able to make it to Anime Central in Rosemont this year. While C2E2 is definitely my preferred Chicago-area convention, I wasn’t able to make it this year, so the impromtpu chance to hit up ACen was a nice surprise. ACen was actually my first con, so it has a…
