I turned 19 last month. It feels exactly the same way 18 does, but if a bearded stranger in a hood doesn’t ask me to join him on a mysterious quest at some point this year, imma sue some authors. This is my last chance to be a YA heroine. I'm NOT missing it. The [...]
(You can thank me for inventing yet another unpronounceable word.) Well hello, my humans! Three years ago, this internet train-wreck crashed into my life, turning me into a psycho blogging zombie and changing the world forever. Although actually, that's not entirely true. If we're being technical, my blog turned 3 waaay back in February. I [...]
Top o' the morning to ya, friends! Guess whose birthday is in two days? *gasp* Me! My birthday is in two days! (If you said Benedict Cumberbatch, you are also correct, but between the two of us I'm clearly more important.) Birthdays aside, be ye warned -- this post has neither structure or purpose. It [...]
S'up, my people! Remember that weird little AU of my novel I wrote for Preptober Prompts (way back in October, yikes), where Liriel & Co. endured all sorts of over-dramatic calamities in the modern world? The last installment ended on a bit of a cliff-hanger, but I never had the time to finish it. Well, [...]

Well hello, my minions! It’s been a while since I mentioned my novel in progress, Aeterna, and some people (AKA me) were beginning to wonder if it fell off the face of the earth or was eaten by wargs or came to some other such hideous end. Folks, I have good news! Aeterna wasn’t eaten [...]
Note: This post is a random conglomeration of stories from work. If you haven’t read the previous post about my job, I suggest doing some quick cramming, 'cause I ain’t going to explain it again. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, too bad for you. Here’s the link. Another Note: I tried really [...]
I think we’ve had enough of it plastered across every headline, conversation, text message, social media post, blog post, lamppost, fencepost, whipping post, and every other post in existence. Friends, I come bearing glad tidings of joy in these troubled times: Believe it or not, I am one of those rare people who actually knows [...]
Remember that contest I told you about a while back? The flash-fiction thing I was a finalist in? The one I had a mental breakdown over because I was traveling during the last week and had only one day to write my final entry and everything seemed bleak and dismal and-- Yeah, so, I won. [...]
Well hello, my minions! Guess where I've been?? That be the March for Life. Shout-out to the guy in the bottom-right corner who was disturbed by me randomly taking his picture. So here's how it happened: We were at church one day, talking about it with a friend of ours. A local Pro-Life organization [...]
