One of the first things anyone will likely tell you about NaNoWriMo is the title of the book Chris Baty wrote specifically for the preparation time: No Plot, No Problem! It's the core of what gets pushed about the National Novel Writing Month, that you can walk in with absolutely nothing and you can still … Continue reading NANOWRIMO IS COMING: Pants vs. Plot

So a couple days ago, I launched into a Twitter bonanza about romance novels and the way the heroines usually look. (We got into heroes later, but this is where we started. I had clicked on one of my innumerable BookBub links, and was checking out some trilogy. (I'm not really looking for trilogies, but … Continue reading (Talking About) Fiction Friday: Romances
I received a copy of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for my honest review. Two things stood out about this book to me as soon as it came in the mail. One, is that it's by Ethan Cross. I've read Cross' work before (see my review for BLIND JUSTICE here) and while … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE JUDAS GAME by Ethan Cross
Well, it's almost October, which means you know what's coming. I will never apologize for that. Every year, this is what I think of. I am unrepentant. But it's true, November is coming and I have no idea what I'm doing for the month. What I'm thinking, however, is that I'm going to use October … Continue reading Trying to Plan for the Future
I don't get a chance to write too much with the characters who aren't Alistair in REVOLUTION, so I figured this is an good a place as any to flesh out a few of the characters we don't see as much of. And since Esme is a character out of her element, as it were, … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Away from Home Turf
It's been a long time since I read the first two books in this series. I fairly well mainlined them when I first got them, entranced by the world Karou and Akiva were showing me. It's not surprising; I've always liked angels. But this one stayed out of my grasp for a while, and after … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS by Laini Taylor
I posted about using a bullet journal recently, and I figured I'd update you on how it's been going. I don't have any shiny pictures, but that's more because there's still a bunch of personal stuff on the pages that y'all don't need to see. Next time I set up a weekly page or so, … Continue reading Keeping Organized
So at least for now, I'm thinking I'll use Fridays as a little buffer zone, filled with bits of writing in my various worlds. This gives everyone a chance to meet some of my characters and see some of the worlds, and gives me a chance to keep myself occupied and inspired. So! Since I've … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Quest to Karantiri
(I have no idea what's up with the title. I got it under the first title, it's on Goodreads as the second title... I don't know what's up, so you get both. Yay?) I love any kind of story that balances on family dynamics. One of my all-time favorite stories I ever worked on with … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BEDDING THE WRONG BROTHER/THIS MAGIC MOMENT by Virna DePaul
This has been something stewing in the back of my mind for quite a while now, and I've actually talked about it so many times in so many different places, I just went back to make sure I hadn't actually written the blog already. I think I've talked before (I know I have on the … Continue reading Bad Blurbs Don’t Sell Books
