I'm not going to beat around the bush. I don't have any inspiration this week. My work is tiring, my exercise is lacking, my diet is suffering from over-eating, and I'm just exhausted. It was hard to get back into the habit of writing these blogs for this week. I didn't put up my weight … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Ugh, Do I Have To?

Here there everyone! It's Friday, which means Chapter 7 of Quest to Karantiri is live right here right now. The newsbreak about my break (hah) and a snippet of the story are below. “Celita, you remember Nathaniel from his last visit?” “I do not remember it well but yes, a pleasure to see you again, … Continue reading Serial Update: Chapter 7 and Break from Blogging
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
I was talking to someone online who'd checked out my blog and really appreciated my review of To Kill a Mockingbird, and noted that he'd really enjoy seeing my take on The Great Gatsby. Anyone who knows me knows full well that this is not a challenge I can pass by. For years, I absolutely loathed Gatsby. I … Continue reading Book Review: The Great Gatsby
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've done a lot of talking about how to personally inspire ourselves, and who knows, maybe I'll come back to that. But right now, I'd like to bring it back to what we're actually all here to do: write. (I know, gasp! What?! Writing?! Who gave me the authority?!?) And I know I'm a little … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: What to Wear, What to Wear…
I put the word "review" in quotes because I find it very difficult to put myself in any kind of position where it could even be dreamed of that I would be worthy to take apart this novel. Yes, I've tackled classics before (maybe someday I'll show you all my "review" of The Great Gatsby) … Continue reading Book “Review” – To Kill a Mockingbird
This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer. It was a pleasant surprise to open The Butcher Boy and see that I was at least in passing familiar … Continue reading Book Review: The Butcher Boy
This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer. I'm a little daunted to be putting up something about King's book here, but hey--if I'm ever to convince myself … Continue reading Book Review: On Writing
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
