NEW UPDATE 6:09 PM THURSDAY: So I've figured out that they DID in fact list the location we went to on the meetup posting, and still apparently held it elsewhere. I've now contacted the group to see what in the world is going on. So for now, this remains a massive failure and disappointment on … Continue reading UPDATED: Writing Workshops and How to Fail At Them

Yeah, I wish I could take credit for that title, but I know I really can't. I've seen the image floating around for a while now and it's always made me smile. I'm a major introvert, and always have been. Likely always will be. But I'm in a situation now that I've never been in … Continue reading Introverts, Unite! …Separately. …In Your Own Homes.
I have an on-going frustration with the length of things. In school, all my papers were longer than I thought they needed to be. (Unless it was a creative writing assignment. Then I distinctly remember raising my hand after being told the minimum page length, and asking "Is there a maximum?") Everything was too long. … Continue reading It Needs to be How Long?!
(No copyright infringement intended by the title of my blog. 😉 We can all keep a secret, yeah?) I've talked about getting away from your work area in the metaphorical sense, by reading authors we love. I've talked about getting away more literally in the short term, by taking dance breaks and getting exercise. But … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesdays: Mountains, Gandalf!
Yes, it's Friday again, which means that another chapter of Quest to Karantiri has gone live here at korionfray.com. Here's a snippet from the latest chapter: "I've told you, no!" Tallinn's voice was louder than Celita had heard it before. "Papa--" "Celita, this isn't me forbidding it. It is me, and your mother, and the guards … Continue reading Serial Update: Chapter 4
Well, I don't quite have the accolades that my dear friend Amanda over at The Spotted Writer has, but I've been dutifully plugging away at this blog consistently since January of 2013, and off and on since 2008. I have no awards save my NaNoWriMo winner sheets, and haven't done much in the way of … Continue reading Blog Hop Stop: Here Off the Beaten Path

You can catch up, and then follow along every Friday as I post new chapters! I'm exceptionally excited to keep sharing this with … Continue reading Serial Update: Chapter 3!
Because it's just that simple. I've seen too many articles like this. Stories with titles exactly like or very close to that, who talk about having a spark of inspiration, deciding to leave everything behind and write a book. Inevitably they poke out something that looks like a book, feed it to a few agents, … Continue reading How to Quit Your Job and Make Millions as an Indie Author
Yup, it's that time of week! Friday is Serial day, which means you can go view the latest chapter of Quest to Karantiri right here on my website! In this chapter, Celita goes to see one of her favorite mentors to help sort out what she saw in the first chapter. Not sure what that was? … Continue reading Serial Update: Chapter 2
Anyone? C'mon, someone tell me they get the title. Please? *ahem* In any event. So this past month was the second summer session for Camp NaNoWriMo. As you all may know, I'm a huge supporter and fan of the November NaNo proper, and have served as an ML for two years now. However, my endeavors … Continue reading Failure, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Process
