I have been making fairly steady progress on my 2016 TBR List of Awesome. Considering there are a number of other books I've read in the meantime, I think getting through five in two months keeps me right on track. I'm glad I put this list together because it's very easy to get distracted by… Continue reading 2016 TBR List Update

January Review
First off: Happy February! Second: What happened to January?? Life happened. In quite a spectacular way. I knew January was going to be tough, writing-wise, what with every distracting thing going on, so I made the (very wise) commitment to simply write every day. No daily word count, no monthly goal, just a no pressure… Continue reading January Review
2016 Reading Goals
My main goal for this year is not only to read more, but to read more of the kind of books I enjoy. That is: fun, adventurous fantasy. On top of that, I'd also like to broaden my horizon and read from a diverse array of authors. To assemble my own list, I rifled through… Continue reading 2016 Reading Goals

Here is part two of my 2015 Books In Review. Part one is here. Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis "Amara is never alone. Not when she's protecting the cursed princess she unwillingly serves.

2015 Review and 2016 Goals
It's reflection and introspection season, and since we had a very quiet Christmas and Solstice, I've been doing a lot of that. Looking back over the year, deciding what went right and what went not so right, what habits to keep and what to discard, what I need to start fresh and what I… Continue reading 2015 Review and 2016 Goals

December Lull
After writing daily since June, it's about time to take a breather. In those six months, I wrote the first draft of a short story, finished a round of really intense edits, and wrote another first draft of a novel. Having wrapped up said first draft, there's a little wiggle room before the next big… Continue reading December Lull
#Thankful
I had every intention to get in on the one-a-day thankful meme, but then it was mid-November and, well. But I firmly believe it's never too late to be thankful, so I've compiled my list for Thanksgiving itself. 26 things because this year, Thanksgiving fell on the 26th. 26 Things I'm Thankful For: (or: A… Continue reading #Thankful
On Writing Mechanisms
A few years ago I made the Best Decision and shelled out money for the teeniest, lightest laptop I could find - an Inspiron Mini Netbook. Suddenly, my writing could go everywhere I went, and it did. I could take it on the plane, on the bus, walk with it to a coffee shop, bring… Continue reading On Writing Mechanisms
Trudging Along
I'll be writing so much more! she said. Having a job will give me focus again! she said. I'll have that 20k written within the week! she said. Somebody has been overestimating herself again. But hey - I may not have written much this weekend, but I finally got to go and participate in our… Continue reading Trudging Along
