So I’ve been paging through the book Monsters in the Movies by John Landis over the past couple weeks.

It’s … More Monster Madness
Remember to visit The Blog Hop Spot for more giveaways! All righty, well after yesterday’s mush fest it’s time to get back to form! You know what I love about Valentines Day? Kid’s valentines. I have such fabulous, ridiculous memories of those goofy storebought cards. I don’t know if schools still do this, but I remember putting a … More Bee mine! (insert cute little pink and red bee here)
The awesome Kaylie Austen tagged me to answer 11 random questions, so here we go! What’s your most embarrassing moment? I have so many, it’s really hard to choose.

I’m really not complaining. I’m very, very blessed to have an active imagination that’s also incredibly fruitful. But do all my ideas have to attack me at once? Can I not take a drive, a shower, a nap without one more popping up? If I have to use one more tube of lipstick to write … More When Ideas Attack!
So just when I think there can’t possibly be more, I got a notification this week that a poem of mine will be in the back-to-school issue (probably Aug/Sept) of the e-zine Stories for Children Magazine! I’m so excited for a variety of reasons. Obviously, another acceptance makes me happy, but it’s more than that. … More Substantial Children’s Lit or Why I Refuse to Stop Reading Kids Books
Got so much stuff I want to cover. Hopefully I’ll get back in a rhythm, because I really want to talk about the HorrorHound Cinci con and some other stuff soon. But first, with Breaking Dawn pt. 1 out and my most recent trip to the library (yep, I go that much when I have time), … More Yay for YA! (writing, that is…)
I had wanted to post something Halloweeny yesterday, really I did, but after recovering from a heavy work-filled weekend I realized that it would be the first time in like five years that I would Actually Get To Enjoy Halloween. You have no idea how huge this is. It’s my favorite holiday, one I never … More Lingering wisps of pumpkin smoke
