I've been slowly working my way through three books on plotting I borrowed from a friend in pursuit of my new project about the timebus (which as a side note and update is going very slowly and I have about as many characters as a Charles Dickens novel so wish me luck). At the same… Continue reading On advice, an examined life, and first and last sentences
Heyo! I am back from last week to answer your questions. From Kailey: If you could choose one word to describe yourself, what would it be? E.g. I used to always describe myself with the words “hope” or “light.” How would you describe yourself? I'm actually going to end up close to your answer, because… Continue reading 200 part 2 | the q&a
Last week I published my blog post and WordPress sent me a notification: boom. 50 posts. My reaction was not "woah I have written 50 blog posts" or "woah I'm still here and haven't disappeared yet" or even "woah no space monkeys sighted around here yet."

After my absence, it's nice to return and have some tags to play with, so here's a little q&a session. I can't catch up with ever single tag I have been tagged for and so apologies for those I miss. My hasty records of tags were not sufficient. Some I have lost, some I only… Continue reading Two Tags | a q&a session

Writing a… Continue reading Thoughts On Dialogues | both the fictional and non fictional kind
Hellooo there. Lovely day isn't it? Well, I'm back. After being gone for a month, it's strange returning, but let me start with my two main pieces of great news: I am alive.I wrote 50k words for NaNoWriMo with two hours to spare. Yep. That’s right. I survived NaNoWriMo without any prep beyond a list… Continue reading November & NaNoWriMo | 2019
Let's ignore last week. Because skipping out on blogging to go on a field trip is nothing in comparison to my news of this week. Are you ready for it? It's kina big. Just kinda. Are you ready? Okay here it is: I have finished 51. Wait. Say WHAT I'm DONE?!? ...and in the meantime… Continue reading One Down, More to Go | novel celebrations, considerations, and introductions
I'm a very crafty person. No, no. Not that kind of crafty. Despite what gossip my character have been spreading, I am not a crafty villain scheming up plans of horror and pain. Maybe. I mean 'crafty' as in, I like to take little string and sit for a couple hours looping it on sticks… Continue reading All the Summer Vibes // hiking, writing, reading, and that glorious sunburn
Typos. You've got to love them. Especially when they prowl in the paragraphs of your most important papers. I view it as a blessing when I'm required to read it one more time before the whole class: It's my last chance to spot that little monster and cross it out. I've had my fair share… Continue reading The March of the Typos
