Two Years Post-Graduation? Already?
It hit me the other night … I graduated two years ago. More than that, now, actually. I’m two years post-graduation. And what have I got to show for it? It was a bit sobering. Since I was sixteen (almost seventeen), it feels like not much has changed. Sure, I’ve switched my second day job […]
My Camp NaNoWriMo Plans + a NaNoWriMo Alternative
It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me that I’m still doing Camp NaNoWriMo this year in July! It would be a lot more surprising to some (and less to others) if I announced I wasn’t doing NaNo. A lot of my friends are looking for other options and boycotting NaNoWriMo (which I totally support). […]
Dust by Kara Swanson (Blog Tour & Scavenger Hunt Stop #10)
Hello, my dear reader! Today I’m becoming part of the event of the year (okay, maybe not of the year, but it’s still really important!): the Dust blog tour and scavenger hunt! Kara Swanson’s novel, Dust, looks amazing! I preordered it, actually, and I preorder like two books a year. So you know it sounds […]
May 2020 Wrapup & Summer 2020 Dares
Welcome to June! Can you believe it? I know I’m struggling to comprehend the fact that … IT IS SUMMER 2020! This year is going so fast, and I can’t seem to keep a grasp on it. So, ladies and germs, I have nothing to say that I haven’t said every month (they’re sort of […]
Okay, I Admit It – I Now Like Hamilton
I can’t keep it a secret any longer. It’s been tearing a hole inside of me, so I’ve decided to tell you. I now like Hamilton. Er, the music. I haven’t actually watched the play (or whatever), I’m not a super fan, and I already knew all the history except maybe some details about personal […]
I Have My Mom to Thank for Being a Writer
Today I wanted to write a very brief post (as it is the day before Mother’s Day!) explaining briefly why I have my mom to thank for being a writer. This won’t be a gushy post full of sentiment, as I’m incapable of such a thing, but it definitely includes some logical reasons why I […]
Ivy Introspective Is With the Editor! Now What?
As of this Sunday, Ivy Introspective is now with her editor. It took me waaaay too long to actually finish my own edits, but I’ve finally done it – and it’s out of my hands. Until the beginning of June, I don’t have to think about it. Which begs the question … now what? I […]
May 2020 Dares & April 2020 Wrapup
Hey everyone! Guess what!? It’s MAY! Okay, so, everyone is now complaining that April went on forreeevvveerrr, but time is FLYING for me. I’m not ready for May. I’m barely ready for February! I still feel like it’s 2018, and honestly, it’s so weird that it’s May of 2020. I feel like I’ve done nothing […]
The Hunger Games Quadrilogy (first time watching feat. lots of rants & nonsensical nonsense)
I read The Hunger Games trilogy in my early teens, and I’ve always been a fan, but I just never got to watching the quadrilogy. Well … that is no longer true! I’ve watched it. I wrote a ton of notes (mostly jokes & rants) for my friends while doing it. I even jotted down […]
5 Things Historical Heroines Need to STOP Doing
Hi there, everyone! This post is sort of a follow up to one I did a while back, “Excuse Me, You Got Some Feminism in My Regency Romance.“ These are just some general observations about the heroines of all historical fiction – though, again, pre-1900 is when most of this takes place. BUT … this […]
Would you like to join my street team?
Guess what, y’all? With my release for Ivy Introspective coming up, I’ve decided to reformat my street team. A street team is a group of readers who are excited to share about an author’s book in one way or another (review, sharing about it on social media, simply telling friends, etc). Soooo … I have […]
My Ever-Changing Camp NaNo Project
Halfway through the month, and I still feel like I’ve done nothing, but that isn’t exactly true. 😉 In reality, I’ve done a lot – it’s just not mostly been on my Camp NaNo project. I’ve been working on Reveries Co. and on my email lists and on various projects of that sort, so my […]
