Boooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkksssssss! There are so many books that I’m nostalgic about, and if you’ve hung around this blog for a while, I’m sure some of these will be familiar. But, if not, here are a few books that give me the book feels. First, we have Where the Wild Things Are. I read this book so often […]
Prompt: You stumble upon old home videos of you and your siblings as toddlers. Nostalgia fades when you realize something isn’t quite right. “Do we have to do this now?” Ashley whined. Somehow, at twenty-nine, she still managed to sound just as annoying as she had at nine. I guess some people never grew out of […]
Sooooooooooo, it’s come to this. The inevitable strengths and weaknesses post. *pushes up sleeves* Let’s do this thing. I’m going to hit weaknesses first. Why? Because I’m more comfortable in this arena. More on that in a bit. Conflict – I struggle with conflict. The first book I ever wrote had zero. Like, literally none. […]
As per usual, my Wordless Wednesday has words. Just a few. There are a lot of things that make me sad. A fuck of a lot, really. But this pretty much makes me the saddest. This picture was taken around the autumn/winter of 1997. On the left is my nephew, Zane. On the right is […]
Prompt: Person A: “I thought I’d made it clear we have a no abduction policy.” Person B: “She wasn’t cooperating. What did you expect me to do?” Welp…this was a surprise… But hey, these writing exercises are meant to get us thinking outside the box. This is way outside. Izzy stared open-mouthed at the struggling, […]
People of the World, It is I, your great, and somewhat benevolent, ruler, Loki. My foolish human, Bronwyn, wandered away from her computer and left her blog logged in, which means the time has come for my message to be heard. As your great, and somewhat benevolent, ruler, I have a list of demands that […]
I don’t know why I thought this would be an easy blog post. I mean, sure there are a lot of reasons that I write, but trying to condense it is trickier than I thought. I write because I’m really not great at working in an environment that involves cubicles. I write because I don’t […]
I’m pretty easy to please, really. If it’s an at-home kind of a date, bring me some of this, cwtch* up on the couch with me to watch a movie, and I’m your girl. If it’s a going-out-where-there-are-people-and-I-have-to-wear-shoes kind of a date, I’m good with not going anyplace fancy. I’m not really big into dressing up, […]
I stared at this picture for a long time trying to figure out what to write, and I kept coming back to a secondary character from a novella I wrote called Finding You. So…here’s Jake’s story. Or, at least, some of it. I don’t know why I still came down here every summer. The […]
You may be wondering why there’s a psychotic-looking cat biting someone’s toes as the photo for a post about writing pet peeves. Well, I’m about to tell you. This cat is named Peeve. He’s a literal pet peeve. He belongs to my dear friend, Roxanne, and I can tell you, this cat? He’s a total asshole. […]
