I've been following along with some of the snafus that have occurred in and around the #WeNeedDiverseBooks hashtag, though haven't ever really delved deeply into them. I have several friends who write stories dealing with people of various diversities (racial, people with disabilities, LGBT+, etc) and I know it's an important part of our world … Continue reading The Trouble with Diversity

So I took to Twitter the other day and asked all you lovely luminaries out there what you were interested in hearing me talk about here on the blog. My dear friend Sky said "strange and mysterious that you've seen happen." For a long time, I sat staring at my screen, wondering what strange and … Continue reading Strange and Mysterious Happenings
This is a very important topic to me, and one that still touches very close to home as I still struggle with it. I apologize in advance if my train of thought jumps around a little or I seem a little disconnected. I have a lot of thoughts about this and I'm not sure how … Continue reading Working Through the Lies or With Them?
I'm generally of the mind to take the phrase "write what you know" with a grain of salt. I'm a fantasy writer, even if the "fantasy" means the daydreams of a high school kid. But with several of my jobs, I've spent more than a few days saying "oh god, if I wrote a book … Continue reading They Say to Write What You Know
(Man, that sounds like an awesome short story or something. Anyway.) I seem to have a curse laid upon me when it comes to obtaining books. I seem to have brought it upon myself, way back in high school, unknowingly. It began with an author I have come to love dearly, and am glad of … Continue reading Curse of the Third Book
Hey guys...*slinks in* Sorry for the massive silence! I'm hoping to have a video up sometime in the next few days as well around my work schedule, but I totally allowed my work to eat me alive. In October I started working at a café, and I haven't worked a job with those kind of … Continue reading Heeeeeey!
So if you live in a portion of the Internet that talks about books (and if you don't, how on Earth did you find my blog?) then you probably know that GO SET A WATCHMAN by Harper Lee was released recently. The story is set in Scout's future: everyone is older, the world is different, … Continue reading I Haven’t Shot a Gun in Thirty Years… (Or Fifty-Five)
I'm not sure if I've touched on this before, but since I wrote two blogs last week and almost forgot to write one this week because of it, I suppose I need to say SOMETHING! Ahem. So let's talk about something I've been wondering about for a while. I have at least one friend (Denise … Continue reading Vlogs and the Video World
Good afternoon, my faithful blog followers. I appreciate anyone reading this, since it means that you've stuck around even when I've got dark. Thanks so much! Here's the scoop: I want to try and start writing in here consistently again. I've been watching my friend and fellow writer Denise Drespling's videos on YouTube lately and … Continue reading Schedules and Writing and Videos…?
...and I'd like to wipe them out. Yes, you heard me. I want these books off of my shelf. I want the whole shelf to be empty. I want all the books gone. Here's the bookshelf that lives next to my desk: Don't mind the cat food. I share my space, as any good cat … Continue reading I’ve Got Some Books On My Shelf…
