“So in my veins red life might stream again, And thou be conscience-calmed–see here it is– I hold it towards you.” -John Keats, ‘This Living Hand’ “Hyperion” by Dan Simmons I have heard many things about Dan Simmons’s Hyperion; my big introduction to it came not too long ago in the form of a coworker…

I am very proud to announce that, despite it being a bloody busy weekend, I am still right on track with my page count for March’s novel! Who’d’ve thought dedicating yourself to just sitting down and getting it done would actually work? I’d also like to take a moment to send a big thank you…

Yesterday was no where near as productive as I had been hoping for, mostly because a four hour shift turned into a thirteen hour one. So that was interesting, but it wrecked hell on my ability to write much in my down time (there was precious little of it and I was so tired besides).…

Today was another day I was hoping to have another book finished, to write about today, but, once more, my days off of work are deceptive in their ability to be productive for me. Netflix, I’m realizing, is one of the greatest enemies to my freetime (it was Skins, this time, rather than Weeds); the…

“No hoof, no horse.” “Black Horses for the King” by Anne McCaffrey My Magic Carpet edition of this young adult book claims that Black Horses for the King is a story of King Arthur “as it has never been told,” but, in my reading of it, it wasn’t much of a story of King Arthur…

I had fully intended to have another book finished for today, but, in the grand tradition of days I get off, I wind up not getting as much work as I intended done and doing something like marathoning Weeds off Netflix. So we do a writer quote today, and one from Terry Pratchett because starting…

Awww, shucks. We missed January’s numbers by only seven views! We’ll see how March goes! March is exciting because it gets me thinking about spring, good luck and St. Patrick’s Day, and, of course, my birthday! And it’s time to start a new novel, too, blazing forward and trying to not think about how pathetically…

Only eight views today to match January! Come on! We can do it! And, really, if you think about the fact that there are three days less in February, that speaks very highly of the traffic that’s been consistently coming in this month. No, the numbers aren’t high numbers, but it’s something, so thank you…

I had a bothersome dream last night where I was inexplicably back in college and pregnant. My college campus was more of a mix between both Mt. Pleasant and Traverse City, and there was quite a bit of bike riding and strange artistic structure made of underwear. I have a few ideas on the psychosis…

I used to draw a lot. Most of my drawings were either fanart or sketches for characters and scenes in my writing. Some of it was pretty good; most of it was fairly bad. I posted often to sites like Elfwood and deviantART but it’s been a long, long time I since I really seriously…
