This week has been one of the best and one of the worst. On one hand, I've completed something that I'm incredibly proud of, and I've put it out into the world. And on the other hand...I PUT IT OUT INTO THE WORLD! https://giphy.com/gifs/parks-and-rec-nbc-leslie-knope-10ABvIA9IM29tC That's the eternal struggle. I want to dedicate my life to… Continue reading Art & Anxiety

The Horror Of Taking Headshots
Probably the most demoralizing thing I've had to do in the process of getting ready to self publish hasn't been staring at a blank page, hoping the words will come, it hasn't been editing out thousands of words at a time because those words were hot trash, and it hasn't been sending off that story… Continue reading The Horror Of Taking Headshots
On The Road To Self Publishing
If you've looked at my website lately, you've seen that I've done a little overhaul of the design. It's simpler now, and has a landing page rather than the blog featured because, Dear Reader, I'm getting ready to make you into an actual reader. Of a book. By me. O. M. G. The Korinniad is… Continue reading On The Road To Self Publishing
Episode IX
I'm just going to say it: I really enjoyed The Rise of Skywalker. Go ahead, blast(er) me for it, I don't care. The thing is, for the last five years, the only movies I've bothered to go to the theater for are Star Wars VII, VIII, and IX, Deadpool 1 and 2, Us, and Jurassic… Continue reading Episode IX
Dedicate
A subtitle for today's blog could be "Planning for Brainstorm February," but I gotta stay on this month's brand, and dedicate actually works out. I dedicated today's practice, as Adriene asked us to, to "my work." It was meant to be a person or a thing that wasn't ourselves to prove how self love and… Continue reading Dedicate
Power
Today, I have the power to stay on task. I mean, I had the power to stay in those standing splits the whole time and do shiva squats, so I could probably conquer the galaxy if I put my mind and brawn to it today. But we'll save becoming Supreme Leader of the Universe for… Continue reading Power
Post NaNo Wrap Up And Planning For 2019
Well, so much for Blogmas! Actually, I didn't plan on doing Blogmas, so I'm not behind or anything, but I would like to post regularly on here again. I need to find a way to do so that isn't as severe as every day, but not as wanting as every week. I have been writing,… Continue reading Post NaNo Wrap Up And Planning For 2019
NaNoWriMo 2018 – Winning!
Well, shit, you guys, it finally happened. I've been a member of the NaNo website for almost a decade, I used the site to track for the past three years (though I competed more often than that), and finally, last night, I became a winner for the first time in the month of November. I… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018 – Winning!
A Tiny NaNo Update At 40k Words
This is the letter you get at 40,000 words. It's incredibly encouraging, for me at least. What's especially funny though: I dyed my hair purple today for the first time in like four-ish months and the next scene I'm about the embark on literally is an awkward dinner. The universe has opened up and screamed,… Continue reading A Tiny NaNo Update At 40k Words
NaNoWriMo 2018 – 37,500 Words (75% Complete!)
Yesterday was the 18th, 60% done with the month, and 75% done with NaNo! Well, 3/4 of the way to the 50k word goal, at least. I'm feeling pretty good, very pumped to continuously be ahead of the word count, and super proud for spewing out words every day, even if some days that count… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018 – 37,500 Words (75% Complete!)
