So every once in a while someone inevitably asks me something about vacation. Either they ask when the last time I took a vacation was, or we're talking about theirs and I comment that I'm jealous, or something. But somewhere along the line, it turns into a question of why I don't take vacations. And … Continue reading Vacation? Never Heard Of It…

Hey there, everyone. Remember me? I used to write things and then I vanished off the face of the Earth. Yeah, me. Hi! I don't really have a good answer for why I've been gone, other than I left real life get in the way and never managed to make time for the blog again. … Continue reading *crickets*
You'd almost think me showing up here and saying that I was going to start writing to write more regularly again would be an April Fool's joke, but I promise I don't intend for it to be. I don't really have a good excuse. I've been lost in games and YouTube and a thousand other … Continue reading April Fools…?
Getting back into a habit of anything is hard. You'd think I would have learned this lesson by now, but alas, here I sit with absolutely nothing accomplished of attempting to get back into the swing of things. I have my bullet journal all started, but I haven't touched it in days. I want to … Continue reading It’s Going to be Okay
Been a while, hasn't it? Man, the end (or you know, the totality) of 2017 was a bit of a nightmare. I've completely fallen off the horse in a lot of ways, both online and offline. And as is so commonly the case, I'm going to try and take the start of 2018 to rebook … Continue reading Long Time No See…
So I've found a bunch of lists that have Ideas For Blog Posts (for us people who can't come up with enough things to talk about) and I was going back through my old posts to make sure I didn't repeat any topics--or at least if I did, they were topics I hadn't talked about … Continue reading So About That Reading Challenge…
So as a general rule, I've always considered that quality is worth more than quantity in the writing world. If you have a hundred books out but all of them tell the exact same story and are garbage, then I don't care that you might have fifty best-sellers. But take authors like Harper Lee, who … Continue reading I Write Books to Conquer This World
So if you've been here for any stretch of time, you'll know that I have a very strong connection to and love of the National Novel Writing Month. (NaNoWriMo, for short.) While I love NaNo and think it's a wonderful tool for writers, I know that it's not necessarily for everyone. Some people don't work … Continue reading You Missed It, The Point Was About Three Miles Back
As an indie author, I'm finding myself relying back on some of the earliest pleas I had as a writer: "Please leave a review if you liked the story!" This shows up constantly in fanfiction, because much like in traditional fiction, reviews can make or break an author. Archive of Our Own, a more recent … Continue reading Lessons in What Not to Say
So I know I've touched on submissions before, and how one gets ideas for them. It's easy to surf around and say "oh hey, here are nine thousand places looking for stories that sound interesting; LET'S GO!" but it's less easy to actually write them. Now here's my usual problem. Length. I'm sure some of … Continue reading The Trouble With Submissions
