I've used that title for so many things over the years, and I'm never going to get tired of it. The origin is a Kurt Vonnegut story by the same name, about a man with little personality of his own but when he's given a part in a play, he becomes utterly immersed into the … Continue reading NANOWRIMO IS COMING: Who Am I This Time?

So since Monday's post focused on pants versus plot, I was a little lost as to what to write for my fiction post today. However, my lovely friend Lyn leapt to the rescue, and offered writing about someone who's pantsing it, and someone who's plotting. Given that I only have one extant character who's ever … Continue reading Fiction Friday: No Plot, No Problem…?
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I get emails from NetGalley on a semi-regular basis, and often the books don't strike me. (I think I need to stop telling people I like thrillers, because 90% of all the ones I ever see promoted don't sound … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE SIX TRAIN TO WISCONSIN by Kourtney Heintz
One of the first things anyone will likely tell you about NaNoWriMo is the title of the book Chris Baty wrote specifically for the preparation time: No Plot, No Problem! It's the core of what gets pushed about the National Novel Writing Month, that you can walk in with absolutely nothing and you can still … Continue reading NANOWRIMO IS COMING: Pants vs. Plot
Yeah, so this isn't my norm, but for those of you who don't know, I started my life in theatre. I majored in it for about half my time in college, and have performed both at the collegiate and the community theatre level. A friend of mine from some of my online voice acting work … Continue reading REVIEW: A Midsummer Night’s Dream – A Musical Comedy by the Bridge Players Theatre Company
So a couple days ago, I launched into a Twitter bonanza about romance novels and the way the heroines usually look. (We got into heroes later, but this is where we started. I had clicked on one of my innumerable BookBub links, and was checking out some trilogy. (I'm not really looking for trilogies, but … Continue reading (Talking About) Fiction Friday: Romances
I received a copy of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for my honest review. Two things stood out about this book to me as soon as it came in the mail. One, is that it's by Ethan Cross. I've read Cross' work before (see my review for BLIND JUSTICE here) and while … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE JUDAS GAME by Ethan Cross
Well, it's almost October, which means you know what's coming. I will never apologize for that. Every year, this is what I think of. I am unrepentant. But it's true, November is coming and I have no idea what I'm doing for the month. What I'm thinking, however, is that I'm going to use October … Continue reading Trying to Plan for the Future
I don't get a chance to write too much with the characters who aren't Alistair in REVOLUTION, so I figured this is an good a place as any to flesh out a few of the characters we don't see as much of. And since Esme is a character out of her element, as it were, … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Away from Home Turf
It's been a long time since I read the first two books in this series. I fairly well mainlined them when I first got them, entranced by the world Karou and Akiva were showing me. It's not surprising; I've always liked angels. But this one stayed out of my grasp for a while, and after … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS by Laini Taylor
