The sun is bright, the wind is cold, and the strange Sarah creature has entered into Week #2 of NaNoWriMo. Surprisingly, all of her primary psychological functions are still mostly intact. Key Word = Mostly. Aeterna hit 80,000 words a couple days ago, and that in itself is enough to blow all my psychological functions [...]
Whazzup, folks? (Oh, that was bad. Let's try this again.) Pleasant morning, my wild herd of minions! (Except it's technically afternoon.) I hope you've noticed the snazzy new graphics around here. The beautiful logo and newsletter button are courtesy of Kendra Lynne, who deserves a massive huzzah for her efforts. Can we take a moment [...]
So... I did a thing. (Good going, Sarah, nice way to start off vague.) You know my book? That thing I've been writing -- and rewriting -- for more than three years now? That thing with emotional train-wrecks for main characters? And plot-twists that are even worse in the train-wrecky department? That thing I generally [...]
You know how we were talking about honesty? I take it back. Anna decided to prey upon my weakened, vulnerable state and finagle me into telling you guys the Mysterious Tale of the Bathroom Incident. She obviously loves listening to me embarrass myself. And obviously, since I care nothing for embarrassment, I agreed. The year [...]
Humanity doesn’t appreciate lies. I don’t care what the philosophers say. This, to me, is a fact. And unless you’re some weird-psycho-alien-thing, I’m going to assume that you don’t like them either. I certainly don’t. I don’t particularly enjoy telling them either, so I feel the need to have a brief moment of honesty and [...]
*returns from the dead* Well hello, my lovelies! I've been gone for... *counts on fingers* Yeah, let's not figure out how long I've been gone. Last week, my internet became so incredibly slow that WordPress decided to throw in the towel and stop cooperating. The week before that... Well, while you guys were waiting patiently [...]
Newsflash: I'm not on top of things. I know, I know, that's such a shock. [insert disinterest blinking here] Seeing as I'm not on top of things, this week found me scrambling last minute to provide something interesting to post about. (Which, at this point, isn't much of a rarity.) So I sat down and [...]
You may have noticed my abnormal silence last Thursday. (If you didn't, shame on you.) I would love to sponge my inconsistency away with a laugh and a snarky quip, but sadly, both my situation and my surroundings render me speechless for anything but garbled slurring and incoherent ramblings about Great Lakes and cardboard boxes. [...]
Do you ever feel like you're careening at break-neck speed towards a goal that never gets closer? (Yes, that's a paradox. Bear with me.) At the beginning of August, I had plans. Big plans. I'd finally found my writing pace after months of being unproductive, and my book was flowing better than ever. I'd acquired [...]
I return for your mid-week installment of foolishness with Part 2 of my various and sundry tags. I could spend this section of the post rambling on and on with a boring introduction, but I think that's unnecessary. We're cutting to the chase today. First up is #CoverLove. An incredibly challenging tag, given the fact [...]
