  • I’m almost wondering if I should forgo RoW80 updates until Soulless is out, since there’s not a whole lot to update with considering I’m just plugging along with the last touches on the book (which actually includes a whole new chapter…ten days before publishing. Nice). Not a whole lot of excitement in Update-worthy material, but…

  • Well, I’ll cut to the chase about one thing before I get into my RoW80 check in: I didn’t get that apartment I fell in love with. The reason I didn’t get that apartment was because of something stupid I did when I didn’t know any better, that messed up my credit, and will not…

  • The past two days have been…interesting, if you couldn’t tell by the fact that my RoW80 update is a day late. Aside from my minor meltdown and applying for a perfect, bigger-than-expected, totally-in-love-with-it, vintage ’20s apartment (which I am waiting to hear back from with bated breath; the guy said he’d get in touch once…

  • Shhh. Quiet. Do you hear that? That soft little breath of a sound, like a sigh? That’s my world coming slightly back together so that I can return to focusing on what really matters and not stressing the fuck out about everything. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m still stressing out. But at least now…

  • Yes, this is Monday, and RoW0 check-ins are on Sunday, but I wasn’t around much Sunday because Saturday, I went to Exit. Exit is a really seedy, old, late-night (or is it early morning?) punk bar in Chicago, and it’s pretty freaking awesome. The title of this post comes from an epic exchange where a…

  • I always feel a little funny about the first RoW80 update of a round, usually because it comes up so quickly that you haven’t really done much or gained any traction on your goals. So I thought about skipping this one, as I only posted my goals on Monday, but I really didn’t have much…

  • Round 2 of this year of A Round of Words in 80 Days has officially concluded, and there’s a little bit of time before the next one starts (July 7th! It’ll be here before we know it). A time to reflect and relax and rethink our goals and motivations. It’s also a time to look…

  • 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…

  • “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…

  • I knew this was going to happen. It was looming there like a dark cloud on the horizon, and now that I’ve reached it, it’s releasing its gloomy rain all up on my biznas. I’m talking about the murky, muddled middle of Soulless. I knew it was there, I knew that it sucked, and now…
