I've come to the conclusion that the bloggosphere has an overabundance of tags. If not kept up with, this overabundance of tags will creep around your throat and choke you to death. Needless to say, two months away from blogging has left me near the point of strangulation, and I've come to put a stop [...]
Over the last two months, I've sworn up and down that there would be an overabundance of moving posts cluttering up this web space and annoying the snot out of you guys. Now the Grand Question is, where in the blue blazes are they? Languishing in misery with the rest of my family as we [...]
Have I ever told you guys the story of my book title? No? *cracks knuckles* Some of you may recall a time before Aeterna was Aeterna. If you do, I feel sorry for you; my writing was a mess back then. Naturally, I didn't know it was a mess -- not at the time -- [...]
Aaaaand she's back! Really!! This is not another trick!!! *confetti and fireworks and glitter even though no one will ever believe me ever again* I told you it wouldn't be long before I returned from my hiatus, and lo and behold, here I am, bringing sarcasm and glitter in my wake. You guys are troopers. [...]
Believe it or not, I had something really epic planned for my return to blogging. #NailedIt #Not Yeah, yeah. Hello to you too. I'm late. Whoops. If it's any consolation, I missed you guys during my hiatus. And I'm sure you missed me too, right? *crazed eyeballs* Right? Sadly, my return can't be punctuated with [...]
Well, my minions, we've had a merry lark together, haven't we? The Sarcastic Elf has been alive and well for almost sixteen months now, and in that time, I've met so many cool people, and learned so many cool things. My writing life has expanded astronomically through this endeavor, and I can truly say it's [...]
Unless you are blind, unobservant, or very, VERY stupid, I am about to state something obvious: I changed my blog. *shocks* Yes, part of me is sad to see the old one go. It was, after all, my first design, and has been with me for more than a year now. But I have learned [...]
School is finally winding down, and no, just because I'm a homeschooler doesn't mean I don't get a summer break. But with the end of school also comes the end of co-op, and unlike that incredibly dramatic and entirely false alarm I gave a couple months ago, this really will be my last class at [...]
Writers are an odd lot. Yes, I know, statement of the century. But seriously. We wander around graveyards with the express purpose of stealing dead people's names, spaCe out of conversations to contemplate wHich innocent character we're going to murder next, and huRt ourselves on purpose so we can "know what it feels like". (At [...]
You guys know that people sometimes pay me to paint things, right? As in, art isn't just a hobby, but a business. They get an authentic, hand-painted portrait. I get money. Everyone wins. And when you're lucky enough to have your art teacher's complete and zealous support, the odds of being a multi-millionaire by age [...]
