For news!
I have entered the published world!
Click click click!
My review.  On the store’s website.  My review.  Somewhere that isn’t here.
That is amazingly badass.
AND!?  I was chatting with a customer, this afternoon, about writing books (she was buying Bird By Bird and I commented on it being a great book, which lead to a conversation about [...]

100 problems.

Here it is, kids!  My first shot at that book review game.  Feedback would be lovely!
Enjoy.
In Stray, Rachel Vincent introduces her audience to the world of werecats.  Shape shifters.  Simply put: werewolves with an affinity for catnip.
Our hero, Faythe Sanders, is thrown into a world of violent strife in this premiere episode of Vincent’s Shifters [...]

Survey says!

This whole book review thing is plaguing me.
On one hand, I have the memory of the Breaking Dawn fiasco.  I came, I wrote, I was disgusted by myself.  That, and I (effectively) broke a promise to my boss, who I have a great deal of admiration for.  I disappointed me.  On the other hand, I [...]

I am thankful to my commenters.  You guys make me smile.  You also make me feel incredibly guilty when I do not post for months [...]

It’s a beautiful life! Oh oh ohh!

Write.  Right?
I’ve been gone for a long time.  Almost two months.  Which, actually, is unclear.  I haven’t been gone gone.  Just bloggingly absent.  Let’s chalk it up to life being hella busy, lately.  Good busy, though.  Fun stress (read: vyx and mephy are going to buy a house).
Look.  K’s journal prompts numbre quatre.  I remembered, [...]

Eat them up, yum!

Kendra blogged yesterday.  This should come as no surprise as Kendra blogs (quite brilliantly) on a very regular basis.  Her blog, yesterday, however inspired me (which, now that I think about it, is also not a surprise.  Kendra is my inspiration.  This inspiration was different from past inspiration.  This inspiration was productive!).  She was kind [...]

Don’t mind me, it’s “one of those days.”

It is so frustrating to have ideas, but no way to sketch them.  To flesh them out.  I can see stories, sometimes in eerily vivid detail, but I can’t do anything beyond that.
I pick up a pen and all of a sudden language evades me.  I put my fingers to the keyboard and Spike TV [...]

To dream, or not to dream?

So.  My friend and colleague, Kendra, has graced WordPress with two entries worth of writing prompt lists (one and two).  Since I cannot come up with anything on my own, right now, I am challenging myself to write down the line of these prompts.  Now, I have already written to the subject of dreams, so [...]

A sense of self.

“Do you have a fox?’
Before I entered the shop on Wednesday morning, I knew I would be asked about my choice.  Admittedly, I hadn’t thought that would be the question asked, but I wagered curiosity would be present.  I would be curious.  (Of course this is no surprise, my fatal flaw is curiosity.  It will [...]

Attempt

There is a blog that posts prompts for blogs.  It is labelled Pagan Blog Prompts (it’s not always all that Pagan, but is very prompty).  I have decided to use one of the prompts.
Mundane Beauty.
The wind.
Upon first glance it is just another force of nature, able to cool us on the most uncomfortably hot of [...]
