  • Monday Morning Reset [06/12].

    Happy Monday, everyone! I almost thought I wasn’t going to get the chance to get this post out this morning, that it would be another Monday-Morning-on-Tuesday kind of week, but then I resolved myself to just stick it out, get it out quick and good, and you’ll be all set. I still want to squeeze…

  • Monday Morning Reset [04/10].

    Another Monday is here, and I have to admit, the last week sort of went by in a blur. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it is a little odd. Was it because my schedule was significantly different than I’ve been used to? Was it just that I got a lot of things done?…

  • Whoo-hoo! Halloween!

    This weekend, I did the unthinkable. I took a day off. Not at my paying job, but at writing. I was up for a full 23 hours, since I actually had an opening shift at the day job, which meant no time for my usual morning writing routine. The boyfriend and I carpooled, and my…

  • The Monday After a Weird Week.

    Last week was categorically a weird week. I’m the type of person who gets very set in her ways. I like repetition, I like structure, I like things being A Certain Way. Last week went so off the rails of my usual week that I knew it was bound to be an adventure. It’s good…

  • Those Ever-Persistent, Existent Character Tropes…

    Last night, when I should have been getting some sleep, I stumbled upon this thread in /r/fantasywriters about Character Tropes, and which ones we like and which ones we didn’t. It’s not a new conversation, not by any means, but it’s definitely an interesting one, one that makes me go through a list in my…

  • Top Ten Authors: # of Books Owned.

    I came across this post from The Magical Adventures of Cassie the Weird and thought it was a really cool idea. Which authors can claim the title of having the most books owned by me? I have a lot of books, so these are mostly guesses, but here’s my best guess on my Top Ten…

  • 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…

  • Review: “Unseen Academicals” by Terry Pratchett.

    “A lot hinges on the fact that, in most circumstances, people are not allowed to hit you with a mallet.” “Unseen Academicals” by Terry Pratchett Anyone reading the blog could probably gather that I’m a pretty big Terry Pratchett fan. I think he’s bloody brilliant, and I’m continually convinced that he’s only getting sharper and…

  • The 100 Books Project: Soul Music.

    “No one clapped. On the other hand, no one threw anything, either. By Drum standards, this was a hearty welcome.” “Soul Music” by Terry Pratchett What happens when you take Death’s teenage grand-daughter and add a little bit of Music with Rocks In? Pure hilarity, that’s what. Anyone who follows this blog knows that I’m…

  • The 100 Books Project: Moving Pictures.

    “‘Not really,’ said Victor. ‘Everything looks interesting until you do it. Then you find it’s just another job. I bet even people like Cohen the Barbarian get up in the morning thinking, “Oh, no, another day of crushing the jeweled thrones of the world beneath my sandalled feet.”‘” “Moving Pictures” by Terry Pratchett An unexpected…
