RoW80

And so the ugly side of shift work finally rears its ugly head. A few openings thrown into the mix will throw the whole thing off, and I missed my first RoW80 check-in post. Dun-dun-DUUUUN! Yeah, the whole point of RoW80 is that it’s okay if life sweeps you up for a bit, but it’s…

I absolutely adore my new apartment; it’s charming as hell, cozy as fuck, and I’m constantly surrounded by books. It’s on the corner of a nice street in a great neighborhood, and I can’t wait for the rows of trees out there to start budding to make the view even better. This last benefit, however,…

Spring has finally decided to stick around Chicagoland lately, which means that I’ve been able to get out and start walking again. Last year, when I started my journey for a healthier me, watching my diet and all this walking helped me lose about thirty pounds. I gained a little bit over the winter, what…

Time is a funny thing, isn’t it? All yesterday, I had been planning on getting home after work, settling in to write out a blog post that wasn’t about RoW80, because, for the life of me, I was truly thinking that today was not Wednesday. I didn’t even up writing that post; I got home…

Here I am, making my third post in a row about (…err…) RoW. And that’s okay. It isn’t as though I haven’t had anything else to talk about. In fact, there’s a whole list of things I want to talk about, including five books that I’ve finished in the last month or so. I’ve had…

Normally, I wouldn’t like having two of the “same type” of posts in a row on my blog (in this case, RoW80 updates), but I’m trying to be better about my weird little quirks and consistency, so I’m just going to suck it up and give you all my update. We’re only two days into…

It’s been so long since I’ve participated in RoW80 that I can’t even remember the last time I did. What I do remember was that it gave me a sense of drive, purpose, and, most importantly, community that really made me feel connected to the pulse of the indie author world. For a variety of…

The other day was my birthday, and I didn’t post anything about it, partly because I had that Hunger Games post I had been sitting on for a while, and partly because there isn’t a whole lot to say regarding birthdays after a certain point. I didn’t really do anything; the boyfriend and I are…

While things are a little more steady for me now, my life is still a little topsy-turvy. Herein lies the problem with living with three other people, all of us with very different lives. I can go four straight days without seeing the other two roommates…of course, those are the days I’m working long shifts.…

Man, this week has kind of been a mess for me. I’ve been all over the place, staying up way too late, sleeping in too late, too, and doing a really poor job of keeping all my goals in check and my work finished. It happens. I was having a pretty awesome streak for a…
