Life is hard. (As Sarah blows us away by stating the obvious...) It's 2 o' clock. It's Thursday. And I'm staring at my keyboard, knowing full well that a blog post should have been published an hour ago, even though I've only just started writing one. So much for preparedness. I have four unfinished paintings [...]
Hello, lovelies! It's been a long time since I've been tagged for anything (thank the Valar that everyone finally realized I'm no longer eligible for the Leibster Award...), and I can't say I'm disappointed about any of it. Blog tags have an evil tendency to pile up and suck the life from your brain. It's [...]
GUYS. IT’S 2019. THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING. I’M NOT PREPARED. *passes out* Seeing as this is the first post of 2019 (mmm, such prestige), I guess this is the moment where I scrape together something meaningful I learned in 2018, accented with pictures no one cares about and a teary-eyed epilogue of cliché sentimentalism about [...]
‘Twas the night before Christmas, And due to a delay, Everyone was wailing— Even the INTJ. And that is as far as my poetic abilities extend. But no, it’s true. Most people think of Christmas Eve as a night of laughter and joy and glad tidings spread throughout the holly-decked halls. My Christmas Eve [...]
'Tis the season (I hate myself for saying that) of Christmas stories, and, like most people, I found myself sucked into the void of holly and tinsel and mutated little gremlins who disrespect the hallowed name of "elf". I entered a Christmas short story contest. And ended up coming in first place. So that's a [...]
Hello, folks. *slams down coffee mug and props feet on table* If you were expecting a random 1,000 word ramble of flippant silliness this Thursday, think again. Today, I come proffering something even cooler. Prepare yourself for the rare burst of professionalism I feel swelling in my soul as I explain this thing. *dramatic music* [...]
Hello, folks, and welcome this Thursday's broadcast by yours truly. I think it's high time for another Awkward Adventure of an Abnormal American. Buckle up. We all recognize that I’m shy, nerdy, and hard to get to know. Apart from my awkward (and usually bizarre) social behavior, I state my lack of people-skills ten times [...]
*stumbles in and promptly collapses into a pile of fidgeting limbs* Guys. I won NaNoWriMo. And in the process, ended up disappearing from life. 'Nuff said. I truly believed the end of November would find me bowing and scraping to the masses, apologizing for only completing about 5,000 words. Instead, you find me beaming and [...]
We're nearing the homestretch of NaNoWriMo, and if you're anything like me, you're already dying a slow and painful death at the hands of Creative Overexertion -- otherwise known as Mental Combustion. I don't understand these people who get their 50,000 words done within the first two weeks. You people are superhuman. Anyway, in keeping [...]
I would like to formally recant a statement I made last week: "Boy, NaNoWriMo is easy!" [insert negative adjectives here] The biggest downfall with nano is that all my creative energy gets channeled into my book, with none left over for the blog. This results in stress, scrambling last minute to churn out something half-way [...]
