First things first: it is my sister Rani’s birthday today. Happy birthday, Goober! I live in a really conservative society. Really, a lot of people in the world would call me conservative, but for the culture I live in I am actually a raging liberal. It’s really, really conservative (I mean, come on, I am [...]
…potpourri 1. This week is Banned Books Week! Which means that my posts for most of this week will be about the nastiness that is censorship and book banning, but today I just had too many things rumbling around in my brain to do one fully coherent post. So, instead I am basically doing five [...]
I don’t have much of an update this week. I got some writing done, but not a ton. I was busy working on a different project this week – something that I need to get done and I know will take me a lot of time, so I made it priority number one. But, tomorrow [...]
…Dawson’s Creek edition. 1. Why is it that sometimes the only way I can get myself to focus and actually get words on the paper is to sit down with my notebook in front of an episode of Dawson’s Creek? Is it that all the teen angst radiating off the screen helps me write YA? [...]
Pretty much I am going to spoil the heck out of the Hunger Games trilogy in this post, so if you haven’t read it yet, you should probably just not read this. Don’t worry, I won’t be offended if you leave me for a day. I finished Mockingjay last week, after reading the whole trilogy [...]
Ah, September. The month when the kiddos go back to school, the air starts cooling, and the leaves begin their beautiful transformation. Also, the month when ignorant book banners come crawling out of the woodwork, trying to force their beliefs on everyone else. Twitter and the Blogoverse blew up yesterday when Wesley Scroggins, an Associate [...]
Update time! Incubus is going great. I really think this whole longhand thing is helping me work through whatever my problem with this book was before. I still get caught up at times and I still stress (probably because I have struggled so much in the past with this book), but for the most part [...]
We have lived in this house for over two years now, but our guest room (The Pit!) has never really been usable. It’s just where we put everything that didn’t have another place to be put (kinda like Monica’s one closet in friends). Yes, I know a month and a half ago, when I first [...]
Okay, just typing that post title made me want to watch a FRIENDS marathon. Of course, a couple years ago I decided to get married, and in doing so moved in with my husband instead of living with my sister forever. But, with my sister went the FRIENDS series as well. Sigh. I am feeling [...]
