I took a break on Sunday, as is sometime the case, just because the weekends usually wear me down pretty good, and we’ll get back on track with just a nice little writer quote for the week: “You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach,…

I was trying to think of a topic for a post for today; I know sometimes I entirely even skip Saturday or Sunday because the weekends tend to be my busiest. But I was thinking I could at least mention how I’m a little bummed that my very busy day ahead of me prohibits me…

“To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation.” “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho I’m always never really sure where I fit in with The Alchemist. This is my second time reading the book; the first was when I decided to pick it up with all the excited hype surrounding it when it was published…

Inspired by a few things, I’ve been given some more, serious thought to the idea of keeping the hero in my novel for April entirely nameless. From one standpoint, it makes it a lot easier for me, struggling as I am to find a name that I feel suits her, and, from another, more literary…

Sometimes I’m absolutely fascinated by the direction my dreams take, especially when they’re inspired by something as simple as the fact that the last thing I saw on television before turning in for the night was the commercial for the new Arthur remake.

As of right now, the heroine of the new novel is nameless. Right now, that’s fine, as I’m still crafting the prologue and she’s intentionally kept nameless. However, I’m eventually going to get to the meat of the story, and I’ll have to think up a name, and I’m faintly worried about finding something satisfactory.…

I had, briefly, considered trying to make a post filled with April Fool’s Day nonsense and bullshit, but, to be honest, I’ve never been good at doing stuff like that. I’m terrible at lying convincingly, and so this April Fool’s Post is just like any other post. Or is it? I wanted to offer a…

One of the reviews of one of the books I’m reading right now (follow all that?) praised the main character for being a “feminist ahead of her time,” and that phrase got me thinking a lot. Especially how inaccurate I felt it was and how, in a way, it seems to decide that feminism and…
