July passed in a haze of stories. Seriously, a haze. I can't even begin to tell you what most of them were about, and I'm still recovering from the onslaught so I haven't gone back to look at any of them yet. I know there were food puns, destructive fairies, pop culture references, and about … Continue reading Story Fog
Write Like You’re Not Melting
It's July 1, and I've sent off my first story for Zoetic Press' Write Like You're Alive challenge. The goal is to write one story per day for the entire month of July. I hemmed and hawed for a few weeks about whether or not I was actually going to do this, because 31 in … Continue reading Write Like You’re Not Melting
May Recap Halfway Through June
I'm so behind on updating that I don't even have a punny title. Sorry. May was spent mostly knitting. I'm smushing the beginning of June into this "what I've been doing with my time" post too, since it's apparently the 10th already. I really need to learn that when I pick a pattern for something … Continue reading May Recap Halfway Through June
And Also With You: April Recap
April's progress: -Survived Tax Season at my day job. -Got promoted, because someone quit. Hooray? Mostly. Promotions are good, but now we have to hire someone to do my current job and in an extra small office, finding the right personality is important. Fingers crossed. -Read three books. On the book front, I really enjoyed … Continue reading And Also With You: April Recap
Camp Preparations- March Recap
In the interest of trying to post something monthly, here's a March recap. Possibly some February thrown in too, but I honestly don't remember where I put February. It's just gone. Neither month was particularly productive, writing-wise. I wrote one short story for Uncanny's call for Dinosaur submissions, and it was promptly rejected. It's okay, … Continue reading Camp Preparations- March Recap
Tesla-adjacent: January Recap
I'm a day late with this, but I wasn't sure I was going to do it at all, and I'm also not really sure where January went. It was here a minute ago. However, I think it might help keep me on track with my goals for 2018 if I give myself a little "here's … Continue reading Tesla-adjacent: January Recap
Reading Year in Review
I managed to read 51 books this year, which I believe is a new record. There are a handful of quick reads in there-- poetry chapbooks, graphic novels, a middle grade/YA fiction binge around book 27-- but it's still 51 books. And it was perfectly doable, which is why I have set 50 as my … Continue reading Reading Year in Review
Commitment Problems
It is probably evident from that fact that the last post was a year ago, and written for a different website, that I am terrible about blogging. I was better at it when I was younger. Actually, that's a lie. I was more consistent, and screaming my teenage angst into the void on a long … Continue reading Commitment Problems
Only the Essential
All hoops have been jumped through, permission slips distributed and schedules ironed out. The (K)indred Experiment is all set to have its first ever meeting on October 14th. This is fantastic, and I'm stoked, if a little nervous, but due to school schedules and my schedule only allowing me to easily skip work on Fridays, … Continue reading Only the Essential
On Working With My Brain
I almost never read one book at a time. There's a stack on my nightstand which currently includes the second book in N.K Jemisin's Broken Earth series, The Obelisk Gate, and Maziar Bahari's memoir of his time spent in prison in Iran, Rosewater. There's also a sizeable pile of four or five SF anthologies on my … Continue reading On Working With My Brain
