Because I’m currently obsessed with iZombie and looking for ANY excused to talk about it, I thought today’s blog would be about the TV I’m enjoying right now. (And I’d LOVE for you to chime in with your favorite shows! I’m always on the lookout for more!) Watching Now iZombie (the CW, Hulu): I love, love, […]
I started karate during undergrad. I was 20 years old; it was the start of my junior year. I’d wanted to do martial arts ever since I was about 8 years old and saw 3 Ninjas. (Oh man, Rocky was my true love!) But, being painfully shy and super embarrassed by my lack of athleticism, […]
I have the worst stomach known to man. I’m sensitive to everything, and eating out it is more of a pain in the butt than it is a fun time. It should come as no surprise then, that I eat at home far more frequently than I eat out. I know what my stomach can handle, […]
Hi everyone!! *waves frantically* It has been 2 months since I last posted–can you believe it? It doesn’t actually feel that long, and I won’t lie: it has been great for my creative self to not have to worry about blogging. Because, here’s the thing, guys: I’ve run out of things to say when it comes to […]
I think of 2013 as “The Year I Learned To Accept Publishing For What It Is (and to stop whining about it)”, and that year held a lot of rough, pretty low patches for me. I wasn’t the only one. In fact, if you do a quick scan of blogs from other authors in my […]
As I recently discussed in a Misfits & Daydreamers issue, whole-assing (a.k.a. full immersion) is the only way I can get a book written. I need to fall so deeply into the story that no outside distractions can…well, distract. I’m not the only author who feels this way. In fact, I’d say that the #1 complaint […]
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who not only won NaNoWriMo but who made ANY progress this month. I finished with 32,000 new words, and I’m really proud of that progress! New words are always better than no words at all. 😉 To wrap up NaNoWriMo and to help all of you forge onward with your new manuscripts, I wanted […]
As promised for NaNoWriMo, I’m organizing all my past content so that YOU can more easily find what you’re looking for. During week 1, I covered A Writer’s Basic Toolbox, and in week 2, I dug deeper into the more advanced tools at a writer’s disposal. Week 3 was for The Productive Writer, and this week, we’re moving onto fear, writer’s block, and […]
I got a bit behind during week 2 of NaNo. Some major changes happened in the trajectory of my projects (I’ll explain in Friday’s newsletter), so I’ve got some MAJOR catching up to do this week! Anyway, as promised for NaNoWriMo, I’m sharing links each Monday to all my past content so that YOU can more […]
As promised for NaNoWriMo, I’ll share links to past posts each Monday organizing all my past content so that YOU can more easily find what you’re looking for. In addition to the organized posts, I have a forum open where you can ask anything about said topic, and I’ll answer it as best I can. Last week, […]
