Fast Five…
…things on my mind (complete with pictures!): 1. Andrew’s Bad Girl BlogFest is tomorrow. Yeah, I don’t have a new post for this one. My time is in short supply these days, so any writing time I have goes to So97. Sometimes I can write a blogfest entry as part of So97, but it didn’t [...]

NaNOTWriMo
Remember how I was participating in NaNoWriMo this year? Yeah…that didn’t so much happen. Apparently my body thought November was a really bad month to be writing a novel. I was sick the first two days of the month. Then I got better. Then I was sick again the entire second week (and part of [...]
New Horizons
In case you didn’t know, Harlequin Enterprises (yanno, the romance publishers) opened a vanity press this week. No. Good. Why is this bad? I could rant about it here, but I have found that when I rant about it, eyes start to glaze over. Instead, I will share a delightful picture that makes me smile [...]
An open letter…
…to my immune system. Dear Immune System; It has come to my attention that you have been severely slacking on the job. Germs are not being blocked, and viruses are partying behind your defense post. Your behavior is completely unacceptable, and there is no reason for it. Immune System, the administration has decided to give [...]
And it comes to an end…
I have had a great time with the Great Books Week Blog Tour this week. But, like all great things, it is now ending. The prompts have been fun, and they have forced me to look back on the great books I have read. I have thought a lot this week about what constitutes a [...]
It’s a love/hate thing
Before reading my post, head over to Janet Reid’s blog to learn more about the new FTC guidelines. I hated … when I had to read it in high school, but when I read it on my own later, I loved it because…. My junior year of high school, I was in Honors English. We [...]
This is not a test. I repeat: this is not a test.
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this (un)paid advertisement: I don’t review books on my blog. I considered the idea–and even thought it was a great one–before I launched my site, but eventually decided against it. Why? Because I am a fairly selfish person. Book reviews take a lot of time, and [...]

Really, guys? Come on.
*Rant alert* Every Wednesday night, there is a YA lit chat on Twitter. A bunch of YA authors, editors, readers, whatever get together to talk about all things Young Adult. Some weeks we just have free discussion; other weeks there is a specific topic. I was not able to participate in YAlitchat last night, but [...]
Have I mentioned Banned Books Week yet?
I have decided to finally flesh out my writing page with more detail. Writing blurbs is the bane of my existence (okay, that is harsh, but I find blurb writing harder than a lot of other writing), so it might take me a while to get things the way I want them. This leaves me [...]
