  • Author Quotes: Pratchett.

    “Fantasy doesn’t have to be fantastic. American writers in particular find this much harder to grasp. You need to have your feet on the ground as much as your head in the clouds. The cute dragon that sits on your shoulder also craps all down your back, but this makes it more interesting because it…

  • World Unknown Review Reboot!

    As I’ve been talking about ad nauseum here on the blog, my focus on becoming a full time writer starts next month when I finally say good-bye to the dreaded Day Job. This means putting a new focus on creating more content (my biggest faux pas at the moment), getting back in touch with writerly…

  • And on to the next great chapter…

    Well, it’s finally official. I have quit my job to focus on writing full-time. Technically, I’m still with the company until the end of March, but when April hits, I will be a free woman. I’m equal parts exhilarated and terrified right now, especially since I don’t have a part time job lined up yet.…

  • 100 Books: Breed.

    “It feels to Michael as if his heart is being punched to death.” “Breed: A Novel” by Chase Novak Perhaps I expected a little too much.

    Sometimes, trolling around the Intrawebz, I find things that are incredible and want to share them, but, very often, there not enough to build a whole post on or the original content is really best speaking for itself. So, this year, I’m going to also be doing some Awesome Things posts, a round-up of things…

  • Okay, Life. You Win. For Now…

    Funny how time flies. Not so much from having fun in this instance, but from just having too much damn stuff to do. Here we sit, halfway through February already, and I’m boggling on how it felt like just the other day, it was January and I was setting lofty and impressive goals for myself,…

  • A Wild Update Appears!

    So, it’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to update. Remember how I was talking a few post back about how Mondays were so nice because it was really the one day I had to myself, to catch up on all my writing and cleaning and everything else. Nope. Wrong. Just as I…

  • 100 Books: Beguilement.

  • Just Another…

    Well, it’s Monday. For most people, Monday means a return to the grueling grind of daily life, but, for me, Monday is sacred. It’s the one and only day of the week where I can truly dedicate myself to my writing as a career. Very rarely do I have any obligations on a Monday these…

  • The Book Was Better.

    So, tonight, I wasted too much time on a reddit thread about books you hate with a passion, having come across a few classics that I absolutely adore but I could understand why people weren’t fans. This mostly hit me when I came across Little Women and Anne of Green Gables, two classic staples that…
