Well, it's Thursday and my post today should have been a Vacancy podcast, but I did not get that done this week! I have had quite a busy past few days, but with what is unimportant, it would all be excuses anyway. The fact of the matter is, I failed at keeping up with the… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: 20k Words, Obstacles, and Achievements

Camp NaNoWriMo: An Evaluation of 10k Words
Today is day six of Camp NaNoWriMo. I haven't written yet today, but I have completed 10,079 words so far, so I've already surpassed how many words I'd need by the end of today (9677) to stay on track for 50k by month's end (I think this book will end up a fair bit over… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo: An Evaluation of 10k Words
Day 1 – Care About It
I sat down and did 10 sprints of 10 minutes each this morning broken up into two blocks by breaking my fast with a smoothie bowl, and I'm going to be totally honest with you, Dear Reader: they felt really fucking good. I'll get into the specifics of what I'm doing in a post later… Continue reading Day 1 – Care About It
Camp NaNoWriMo Redux
I've been going back and forth on whether I should blog about this or not and came to the conclusion that...it really doesn't matter, so I may as well. I'll be taking part in Camp NaNoWriMo again in July (aka to-freaking-morrow). I tried camp out in April and failed miserably, so miserably that I didn't… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo Redux
A Vacancy Update – Season One End And Where It’s Going
After posting the season one finale of Vacancy at 11:30pm on a Monday, my scheduled release day, for the 15th time in a row, I'm sitting here feeling very fucking pleased with myself. After 6 months, 25 parts, and about 40,000 words, I actually, like, finished something. Well, sorta. But first of all, for those of you… Continue reading A Vacancy Update – Season One End And Where It’s Going
Plotting v Pantsing
I've got a project that I'll be working on in July (maybe for NaNo???), and for the first time possibly ever I'm sitting down and really, truly, honest-to-goodness-ly plotting my ass off. Now, Dear Reader, usually I'm the kind of writer who flies by the seat of her pants. A pantser, if you will. I… Continue reading Plotting v Pantsing
The Need To Be Liked
I talked about the freedom of being phone-less recently, and since I've replaced my sad cracked-screen with a much more expensive but narrowly different model, I've been trying to limit my use of it. I could do better (damn you, Hogwarts Mystery!), and admittedly it hurts to drop a few hundred dollars on something just… Continue reading The Need To Be Liked
Upgrade – Flash Fiction
"What are you doing? I want to go." "Five minutes," he pulled open a drawer, it contents rattling against themselves. "No, now," she stood with purpose, but didn't move from the spot. Ben locked eyes on Lucy then slammed the drawer shut without a word. When he turned to another drawer and began to rifle… Continue reading Upgrade – Flash Fiction
Night Librarian – Flash Fiction
Gabrielle sprinted past the thrillers, her breath catching in her throat. With each row of stacks she passed, she felt her heartbeat quicken, expecting to find the flames at any moment swallowing up bookcase after bookcase, barreling toward her with the unstoppable fury that only the kindling of thousands of old, dry pages can provide,… Continue reading Night Librarian – Flash Fiction
Preparing for Camp NaNoWriMo
Camp NaNoWriMo will be upon us in four short days. Dear Reader, I am psyched! Here's how I'm getting ready. Packed My Tent - Since moving, we've turned one of our two bedrooms into an office. I've got my desk in the back of the room, looking out onto it (so no demons or ghosts… Continue reading Preparing for Camp NaNoWriMo
