Whaddup, humans.The last time I did an art post was… an embarrassingly long time ago. (Thirteen months, to be exact.) The amount of art I’ve done since then is also… well, embarrassing. I haven’t arted much. Must be covid’s fault.(When in doubt, blame covid. Every irresponsible decision I’ve ever made is covid’s fault.)Flipping through my [...]
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 [...]
Whaaaat, who's this interrupting your Thursday? Oh look -- it's me!! Yeah, okay. I have several announcements. First, I finally bought my internet domain! Yes, gone are the days of WordPress creepin' on my blog address and ads about feet. This shipwreck is the thesarcasticelf.COM now, and I'm monstrously proud of my baby. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Embarrassing story time. (Because that's obviously the best way to start a post.) You know how I spent the last few months whining about my art class? Heralding the end of it in January as my salvation from the drudgery of modern art? Claiming how free I would be, and how I was NEVER going [...]
SO. You may remember a post I did back in September, when I announced that I was taking an official leave-of-absence from my book, The Silvershaw of Glenborn, to explore other stories and hopefully get the pain to subside in my neck. (Boy, that was a run-on sentence.) Well. No matter how hard I try, I [...]
