  • Fear of Comment-ment.

    Lately, I’ve been trying to comment on more of the gazillion blogs I follow, not just because I’ve made it one of my habits on Habit RPG (and thus get more points for each comment), but also because it’s just a good way to establish those relationships that help build me into a better blogger…

  • ROW80 Update: The End is Near!

    Well, no, not the end of this Round of Words in 80 Days…we have until June 26th for that, so we’re still a far shot away. I am very, very, very close to the end of the first part of one of my goals, though, so that is incredibly exciting. Great things always happen when…

  • Stranded on a Desert Island.

    For the life of me, I can’t remember which blog it was that I follow that posted this idea, mostly because I wasn’t planning on using it. But, come today, I was stuck for a blog topic, and realized how fun it could be to explore it a little. Basically, this unknown blogger (ugh, I…

  • That Voracious Appetite.

    I’m not sure if it’s the impending loss of my complete freedom, the change to the most beautiful spring weather EVER, or just the mere fact that the ending of this first edit of Soulless is so close I can taste it, but I have felt infused with this voracious appetite to write ALL THE…

  • Author Quotes: Lewis.

    “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” -C.S. Lewis This little nugget of hope was recently posted over at Nhan-Fiction, and it was a great reminder to come across at this point in my life. I’ve always been a fan of Lewis, though his philosophy on many things differs from my own. This,…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Nice While It Lasted.

    So, it’s official. I’m now part-time employed at a local grocery store as a cashier, thus dashing my plans of working on nothing but my writing for the time being. Granted, I’ve asked for only around ten hours a week and it’s significantly less demanding than my previous full-time assistant general manager position, but part…

  • Author Quotes: Levine.

    “There’s nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you’ve read only once can’t.”–Gail Carson Levine. It’s hard not to fall in love with a little gem of a quote like…

  • The Female-Driven Story of “Soulless.”

    When I set out to write Soulless, I knew my main character was going to be a strong hero of a slightly different ilk: she’s a woman, but her gender is basically non-essential to the plot. I could hop in, switch all her gender pronouns to the masculine, and nothing else would need to be…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Steady as she Goes.

    Well, we’ve taken a dive into May, the weather outside actually felt quite a bit like springtime for a change, and it’s time for another RoW80 Update! I have pretty “boring,” steady goals, so the update isn’t exactly exciting, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. No news is good news when it comes to…

  • Author Quotes: Colette.

    “Put down everything that comes into your head and then you’re a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff’s worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.” –Colette Being heavy in the middle of editing the clunkiest and most uninspired part of Soulless, I can definitely relate to Colette’s quote…
