Writing a full-length novel while in my first semester of college may have been my craziest idea to date.

3 Important Notes About Your First Book Review
The time has come for your first review! Hooray! It’s time to tell the world how you felt about that book. Did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you feel… nothing? All very important.
I Knew Him In The Groin
It’s been a little bit since I’ve updated everyone on Ringo. He’s doing great! He continues to improve (still has some issues peeing on lead and not just screaming at other dogs because he wants to play) and is even interrupting my ticks without a command. He’s so good at restaurants now and doesn’t botherContinue reading “I Knew Him In The Groin”
That Work in Progress
I am finally-FINALLY-done with school. I now hold a BA in Writing Arts, an MA in Writing, and an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults. I have 10k left on my current work in progress and it’s killing. Because I’m at a point that gets my MC to the end. And I knowContinue reading “That Work in Progress”
Episode #2: Writing Rituals
Maggie and Jessica talk about their writing rituals and how much Stephen King is lying about never having a bad writing day! Special guest stars include an angry Nala-baby and a quiet but observant Belle.
The Last 5k
I’m finally into my final 5,000 words. And you know what I’ve noticed? I forgot to focus on some characterizations. So I’m going to print out what I have and highlight those sections. I also want to change to appearance of one character which means I have a lot of sections to go back into.Continue reading “The Last 5k”
Fall Weather and Writing Slumps

Fall is my favorite season–as I am a booknerdigan at heart. It’s perfect for writing,Continue reading “Fall Weather and Writing Slumps”
Rumors of My Death have been Greatly Exaggerated
I SWEAR I’M ALIVE! I’m just reading a lot lately and I post all my reviews on Round Robin these days. I’m also still writing my novel. Anyone else feeling like that’ll never get done? Yeah? Well get out cause I’ve only got 13,000 words left before I start sending out queries. I’m actually editingContinue reading “Rumors of My Death have been Greatly Exaggerated”
Look at All That Content
So many pieces of quote art, images from picture books I’m working on, I had writing prompts–what is going to take me through the last semester of school? I am starting to get back into animating in Photoshop, perhaps I could make some gifs? But I doubt I’d be able to get 15 together beforeContinue reading “Look at All That Content”
Some Quality Camera Time
I can’t remember the last time I just went out with my camera and took some photos. In fact, the last time I posted any photography was Christmas last year. And so I feel that I am loooooooong over due. I already have some ideas. Which involve me staying inside my house–because it suddenly decidedContinue reading “Some Quality Camera Time”
