I've been thinking for a long time that I should share tiny flash fiction stories about where I work. There's a lot of great characters--both for good and for ill--and I've often been told that I should write about them. Obviously, for legal reasons, names of people/places/food items will be changed to not point a … Continue reading Serial Story Intro: Tales from the Café

So NaNoWriMo is coming. (I had to.) But in all seriousness. If you've been following my blog for any stretch of time, you know that NaNo is a big deal for me. Attempted every year since 2006, completed every year since 2008. This will be my 4th year as an ML - the municipal liaison … Continue reading The Question of Inspiration and NaNoWriMo
Hey look! I'm writing something that isn't a book review! And it's not going to post on a Wednesday! THAT WORLD MUST BE COMING TO AN END If that's the case, I'll give you a cute picture and then put the rest below the cut, so you don't need to see my ugly death. Okay? … Continue reading Constructive Criticism and You: A Handy Guide

All right, all right. I've seen so many other people doing this that I SUPPOSE I SHOULD AS WELL. (I know it's not required, but I kinda want to. Despite being somewhat daunted. My .gif game is weak, yo.) But I'm always willing to take on a challenge, and I should do something productive while … Continue reading #PitchWars OFFICIAL (or something) MENTEE BIO!
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 used to do these All The Damn Time back when I was in high school. I was just surfing around and came across some very old journal entries from back in the bad old days, and thought it might be amusing to do a new and improved one. (Actually I found two, so I'm going … Continue reading Time for Some Fun! Character Surveys!
I am a firm believer that there are too many sequels out there in the world. Every movie I've seen lately has had just enough left open at the end that everyone in the audience can say, "Whoop, well there's Movie 2 for you." And there is inevitably a Movie 2, and probably Movie 3, … Continue reading Attack of the Sequel

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
