So, my writing hopes and aspirations are pretty simple. I’m not looking to hit lists or become a millionaire, I’d just like to: To make enough to support myself by writing full-time–not that I don’t genuinely love my other jobs, but…this is the dream, people. To write stories that provide people with an enjoyable escape […]
August is, historically, not a great month for me to get stuff done. I’m not sure why that is. But since Jess Jarman has been coming to stay with me every August, I’m getting more done. This month I… wrote all my scheduled blog posts and an extra or two went to the Rust City […]
I feel as though this blog post is going to be an overwhelming disappointment. Of the five of us kids, I was really the least rebellious. For instance, I wasn’t the sibling who relandscaped a neighbor’s lawn with my car and relocated their patio furniture (also with my car) into their inground pool. That wasn’t me. […]
This month’s song fic was inspired by Ghost by Halsey. If you’d like, you can read the lyrics here and/or watch the video here. “What are we even doing?” Ryan sighed. “We’re trying to get some sleep because we have an early flight.” A car drove slowly down the street, its headlights bouncing around the […]
It’s another edition of Wordless Wednesday, and as usual, mine will probably have words. There are some things that piss me right off about Michigan, but the landscape isn’t one of them. No matter the season, it’s almost always freaking gorgeous. Here are what some of my favorite spots look like in summer. As you […]
Prompt: S/he gripped the rim of the porcelain sink and tried to steady her/his hands. “One last time,” s/he whispered to her/himself. “One. Last. Time.” (I owe anyone who reads this an apology. I couldn’t think of anything until my husband made a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad suggestion. And of course, my brain […]
“Emily! C’mon! You’re missing all the good shots! I want pictures with all my bridesmaids!” It wasn’t that I didn’t like the beach. I liked it fine. And it wasn’t that I didn’t want to be there with Rosalind or our other friends. I liked them just fine, too. “I’m coming. Hold your pants on!” I liked […]
You guys! You guys! Look! Look what Norris made me! Looooooooooooooooook! LOOK AT IT! It’s my precious… My next installment in my and Jess Jarman’s Bound series will be out this fall!
I actually like all of these traits equally, but since I numbered all the other posts, I prefer to stick with the pattern. 10.) Bookish – I like writing characters that are at home in a classroom or library and value learning…which is why I guess I’ve written a number of teachers and professors. 9.) […]
My July goals were pretty simple. I wanted to: Write a wedding ceremony that the bride and groom would both love. (Nailed it…unless they lied to me to make me feel better.) Officiate said wedding without turning into a sobbing pile of goo. (Eh…I made it through with minimal crying.) Make progress on my current […]
