  • January by the Numbers.

    This is the sort of post I don’t imagine many people will find interesting, but I’m a little bit of a numbers nerds and thought that, this year, I’d really like to keep track of a lot of little details and lay them all out at the end of the month to see how I…

  • Sleepyhead.

    Work has definitely been kicking my butt lately. Our little sub-department has exactly four employees in it. Four. Our supervisor, one full timer, two part timers. It works pretty well, but when someone gets injured or sick, things get a little crazy. And it just so happens that our full timer is the one out…

  • First Reset of the Year!

    Happy Monday, everyone! I nearly forgot it was Monday, despite having been looking forward to it, because I stayed up quite a bit past my bedtime to watch the Golden Globes after work, then allowed myself to sleep in a bit, and then realizing that this meant I had less time to try to get…

  • Not Much to Reset Yet.

    Though I’ve tried to ignore it, I still have to admit that the orderly part of my brain is still twitching a little bit over the fact that New Year’s Day missed Monday by such a small margin. How perfect would it have been if the Full Year Reset happened to coincide with a Monday…

  • And Away We Go!

    It’s here, it’s here The new year is finally here! And while I’m not really down with the whole “2016 was so shitty!” thing (certain aspects of it was, of course, but I had a lot of wonderful things happen to me personally in 2016, and, really, as my boyfriend said when I asked him…

  • Everything is Illuminated, but maybe we should turn down the light a little.

    In my rush to finish up as many books as I can before the beginning of 2017 (where I shall strip my “Have Read” shelf clean and start anew), I’ve finally managed to finish Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything is Illuminated. Foer’s made some waves in the literary community, so I was pretty stoked to finally…

  • New Featured Story: “Into the Sun” [WUR 2015].

    We have a new featured story up for December and January: “Into the Sun” by Fallon Brown! This was the winning novella entry for the World Unknown Review Volume II. Since it’s a novella, it might be a little longer to read, but it’s well worth it. I might leave it up a little longer…

  • Back on Track. For now…

    Last week, I didn’t get the chance to put up my a Monday Morning Reset post. I’m not exactly sure what happened, because the last week was kind of a blur for me, but I’m sure it had to do with my mad dash to get my master draft for the World Unknown Review Volume…

  • Work, work.

    Titled so because that blasted Hamilton song has been playing on repeat in my head since Saturday evening, but also because I’ve genuinely been getting a lot of work done in these past few days, thanks to an inordinate amount of time off of work-that-actually-pays-me. I can hardly believe it’s already Monday, but I’m happy…

  • When Monday nearly passes you by…

    Oh, shit. I was so wrapped up in the new story I started today that I just about nearly forgot to make my Monday post today! I might have completely skipped it out of negligence if I hadn’t received a rejection email and got up to mark it on the board, and it rushed back…
