So I came across something on Tumblr the other day which really set me off. Someone had shared a picture which said "No one should be shamed for reading" and it had a picture of a little paper book and an e-book reader holding hands. Very cute. With the reblog, the poster says, "YES. I’m … Continue reading On the Subject of Books

All right, I promise that one of these days I'll stop harping on and on about one author over and over again. But I wanted to write this up, and this seems like a good enough place. It almost takes over Thursday's post about writing as well, but I won't let it. But the simple … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Other Authors
This is an interesting review to write. It's very long coming (since I finished it probably months ago now), and it's not a style of book I've read often, but it's M.C.A. Hogarth, and...well, if you've been around long enough, you know my opinion on her. (If you haven't, it's that I'll read anything Micah … Continue reading Book Review: Spots the Space Marine
I know there are plenty of people out there that likely get this a heck of a lot more than I do, but since this was my first run-in with this kind of behaviour, it really stood out to me. Now, your mileage may vary on this, but I've heard more than enough stories to … Continue reading A Look in the Life: Entitlement
So I talked last week about a little thing you can do in order to keep your mood up and get the writing flowing. Dancing is always good for that. It's low space-needing, and pretty much everyone has either an mp3 player or access to Youtube. (Or some other way of getting music. Not knocking … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday – Motion pt. 2
So I finally finished this book. (Actually I finished it a while ago, and then Real Life came and bit me in the butt and I didn't write a blog about it, so here we go now.) I'm not doing this as a proper book review, because I'd really like to try and review this … Continue reading Book in Review: A Game of Thrones
So I know this isn't quite my normal thing to talk about, but it's justified and I think a cool idea, especially for authors trying to find their footing and wrangle themselves an audience. So I'm going to give you a debrief on what I got to do and experience while at Anthrocon in Pittsburgh. … Continue reading Debrief: Anthrocon
I've decided to move my old inspiration newsletter to a blog post instead, thus consolidating and making for a better archive. The standard format will change a bit, however, now that it's on the blog. Since Thursdays are usually set aside for writing help and tips of the trade, as it were, I'm not going … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesdays: Dance Break!
Since I have been reminded over and over again by my dear friend and fellow author Patrick Martyn (and several others), I am making a pointed effort to get all the names right here. (Patrick, you better appreciate all of this.) So some time probably in the middle of last month, I started reading the … Continue reading Started Series: A Song of Ice and Fire
For my grad school requirements, each semester we have to read and review four books. (I've posted many of them up here before.) So every once in a while, I can't find one of the books I want on the Barnes & Noble NOOK book shop, and I have to wander my way into a … Continue reading Writing Under a Pen Name
