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

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
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
So I've been pretty quiet in the Internet sphere since last Tuesday or so. I haven't been writing. I haven't been editing. I have been working out, but not enough the counteract how much food I've been eating. And you know what? I'm glad of it. You see, I think there's something that many writers … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Rest
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
This is an interesting review to write. It's very long coming (since I finished it probably months ago now), and it's not a style of book I've read often, but it's M.C.A. Hogarth, and...well, if you've been around long enough, you know my opinion on her. (If you haven't, it's that I'll read anything Micah … Continue reading Book Review: Spots the Space Marine
I know there are plenty of people out there that likely get this a heck of a lot more than I do, but since this was my first run-in with this kind of behaviour, it really stood out to me. Now, your mileage may vary on this, but I've heard more than enough stories to … Continue reading A Look in the Life: Entitlement
So I talked last week about a little thing you can do in order to keep your mood up and get the writing flowing. Dancing is always good for that. It's low space-needing, and pretty much everyone has either an mp3 player or access to Youtube. (Or some other way of getting music. Not knocking … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday – Motion pt. 2
