Well, 2020 Was a Year That Happened
Well, 2020 was a year that happened. Technically is still happening. And I think, at least according to my 2019 wrapup, I might have cursed it a little? I mean … [W]hen I think about it, at least I know now what I can’t do – and I know that I can weather a storm. […]
What’s Up With My Writing? (December 2020 Edition)
Hello folks! It’s time to be updating you on my stories! I meant to do this a bit earlier in the month, but I decided not to. ‘Cause I got sick. (So it wasn’t a decision, but shh. Leave me my illusions.) But now I’m here to update y’all on my projects! Let’s get right […]
We Need Our 2020 Wrapups
Months back, I can’t remember exactly where, I saw a meme to the effect of “bloggers need to NOT do their 2020 wrapups this year – we don’t want to see it.” I thought it was funny, but as I think back to it, I disagree. And though I’m sure, as always, there’ll be a […]

Introducing My NaNoWriMo Project(s)
Hey folks! So today I’m just gonna briefly tell you what my NaNoWriMo and KDWC projects are and also probably ramble a bit too much (Without spoilers! Don’t worry!) about these projects because … I AM EXCITED! Basically, the long and short of it is that I’m doing KDWC for the first half of it […]
Reflections on a Lack of Accomplishment
(Bear through my depressed mumblings and you’ll be treated with some delightful reveries on Jane Austen. I promise.) There’s so much I could choose to be depressed about this year. No, not the tyrannical impositions our government has placed on its people. Not the riots. Not the lies of various political parties and not the […]
It’s Almost October! (e.g. time to talk about summer and September)
So since it’s now the 26th, meaning it’s four short days away from October, we should absolutely do a recap of the summer AND of the beginning of September (+ some goals for the next month or so). That makes perfect sense, right? Okay, good. Glad we’re on the same page. I’m going to do […]
Are You Ready for a 5-Year Blogiversary? (Giveaway, Facebook Party, & More!)
Even if you’re not ready, well, you don’t have a choice in the matter because, like it or not, five years ago I founded my blog, then (and for many years) called Reveries. Now it’s called: Which is very pretty, too. At least, in my opinion. Anywho, to celebrate, I decided I MUST DO SOMETHING […]
Introducing Growing Writers
Hello folks! Long time no see! I’ve been working on a lot of different things, but primarily my schedule, prepping for the new school year, and of course … Growing Writers. But what’s “Growing Writers”? you asked. Sounds a bit weird. I mean, you’re not planning on giving birth to a lot of writers, are […]
June & July 2020 Wrapup + Planning for the School Year
Before we starting on ANYTHING ELSE … I DECIDED TO RENAME THIS BLOG! I mean, really, I just decided to use an old name combined with a bit of a new one that describes what I kinda feel is my … aesthetic. Per se. *shrugs* SOOOOOOO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I’D LIKE TO INTRODUCE: Lilacs & […]
The Ivy Introspective Launch Wrapup
Well, that’s a wrap! The posts on various platforms are out. The reviews are up on Amazon and Goodreads. And I’ve got ’em all in this post! (Well, ish. Y’all can click through to Amazon and Goodreads if you want, but I didn’t link to every individual review.) I know I haven’t been as active […]
Introducing Ivy Knight (Ivy Introspective Book Launch)
A brief note from Kellyn Roth (the author): This post is written by Ivy Knight. However, I wanted to come in beforehand and say that this has been a crazy month! And nothing is getting done for various reason. I feel a ton of guilt over this, as always, and I’m doing what I can […]
