As I’ve been getting back in the swing of things, I’ve noticed something. As much as I don’t mind using a laptop, there’s something about a notebook of the paper variety. I don’t know if it feels like there’s less pressure with a composition book, that I’m not being judged if I’m scribbling in public … More Getting Into a Project (literally)
Since I’ve been focused on the reasons for writing, the ways certain mediums differ (A romance writer is going to be different from a fantasy writer who will be different from a literary writer who will be different from a pulp writer, who will be different from a fanfic author, etc), I’ve been paying attention … More Write This and Sell Thousands of Copies! (A Frustrated Rant)
I’ve been noticing that as I focus on getting my groove back, there’s a lot of synchronicity in my life. I seem to fall into moments where people say or post things I need to hear a lot lately. Since people never quite believe this, here’s the proof… I had to run into Joann’s for … More Smart Ass Universe: Synchronicity
I’ve mentioned it before, but sometimes I get life affirmation in the weirdest ways, usually through music. I get a lot of this is probably because I’m focused on certain things anyway, and some is probably coincidence. Still, some experiences are just weird, like the universe has had enough and is pointedly clearing it’s throat … More Smart-Ass Universe: Let it Be
So mid-May a friend and I saw the Welcome to Night Vale live show, and it was fabulous. Like so much in fandom, the actual act/product/thing was/is wonderful, but there are always other parts of the evening that round it out, and those can go either way. The venue was nice enough, though the staff … More Fandom Friday: Welcome to Night Vale…Except For You.
I’ve started the unthinkable this week. I’m hardcore trying to organize my life. This may not seem like much, but those who know me know that this is the equivalent of me training for the olympics or attempting to fly to the moon with the power of my own arms. Of all the Virgo traits … More Don’t read Indie?
Typically The Lost Manuscripts is my tongue-in-cheek time where I share old childhood stories with terrible drawings, bits of the odd angst journal, something to that effect. This time, though, I’m actually going to be serious. I know, right? I mentioned in yesterday’s post the anthology project I had to do for my high school … More The Lost Manuscripts: Dropping the Mask and Exposing the Spirit
One day I hope to be as cool as Sean Taylor. That is the mantra by which I live my life. Seriously, Sean is an awesome guy, a talented writer, and a great friend of mine. I’ve been doing roundtables at his blog for a long time, so it’s finally time to deliver some payback. … More Author Interview: Sean Taylor
I want to mix things up and share a sewing/costume/artsy project of mine at least once a month. I talk about my artistic life often enough, but I haven’t really shown a lot of it, so that needs to change. Although we’re into March, this seems suitable for both February and Women in Horror Month. … More February Project: Broken Heart Purse
So all in all, this has been an interesting WiHM 2015. I have to admit, going in I had mixed feelings – I usually do. While I love having a chance to explore the genre I dearly love and am fascinated by, and I truly do feel that we need to explore gender roles within … More If only I was as Hot as Stephen King: WiHM 2015 Thoughts
