I have been waiting to write a blog post about this website for a while but it's never felt like the right time! This week I felt like it was OK to do it - which sounds all mysterious but it isn't, really! YA Love Magazine is a cool website I stumbled onto a while ago … Continue reading YA Love Magazine

NaNo Prep!!
Yes, it's almost that time of year. NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) takes place in November and for some reason I'm prepping like crazy for this one which I've never done before. I normally just make a story up on the day or a few days before and don't plan what is going to happen … Continue reading NaNo Prep!!
Honest Thoughts on Self Publishing
I'm sure by now you've noticed I self published my first book; Etta! I figured I'd do a little blog post just to talk about the experience and the reaction I got from it. I'm sure people are wondering how well it's done and if I've made any money (I don't think it's rude to … Continue reading Honest Thoughts on Self Publishing
Re-Reading books
I know I'm not alone in this but it always strikes me as odd when the majority of people I know say they don't do this... I am a serial re-reader.

It's not that self publishing is a cop out or a sign that you're a bad writer, it's just that I strive to become published by a publishing house because … Continue reading Self Publishing
Hitting 100 and a book review
This is it, my 100th post, which is pretty good going. For me. Well, not really; I used to have a blog a millennium ago and I can't tell you how many posts I wrote but 100 is decent for this new decade of writing I find myself in. With self-congratulations out of the way … Continue reading Hitting 100 and a book review
Miss Sentimental
I am sentimental about a lot of things. It's terrible, really. I wish I were sentimental about things that really matter; people, memories, places... alas, I'm not. I'm the worst kind; a hoarder. I keep things that have no use for the sake of the 'memory', like if I don't have this movie stub I'll … Continue reading Miss Sentimental
