Yesterday was a blast. It was one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had because I got to spend it with some of my favorite people.

I found a new lion friend.

And then I decided to turn him into a vampire.

I love the city.

My crazy friends dancing in the streets, er, sidewalk.

Saturday, July 26th, I turn 27 years old.
It’s been a pretty awesome year. I’ve written two books, finished grad school and gotten requests for materials from agents. I’ve taken my first trip out of the United States. It was to South America. Then, I had the opportunity to go to Italy as well. I’ve read […]

And now the blues are over because I woke up to a partial request! YAY!

I think I have the writer blues.
Being a writer is a bit like riding a spastic roller coaster sometimes. One day, you think you’ve got some absolutely terrific and perfect. The next, you think every word you write is blah. One day, someone is requesting material. The next, you have three rejections.
I actually really love […]

If you haven’t watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog yet, what are you waiting for? I’m pretty sure today is the last day it will be streaming on the Internet. After that, you’ll have to buy it. Which, of course, I already have off of iTunes because Joss Whedon…well, he did it again.
I was excited about […]

Time to celebrate and relax because I just typed “The End” in the first draft of my most recent WIP!

Current WIP 64,027 / 64,027 Words (100.00%) DONE!
Note: It’s shorter than the 70k goal. I have some editing to do and the addition of a scene so I’m hoping to get the number as close […]

Hi everyone! Just taking a quick break from the hours of work to give a status update on the progress of my WIP.
1. Coffee is my friend. I took a nap tonight when I got home from the day job, and when I woke up, I was quite groggy. A trip to Dunkin Donuts for […]

Busy, busy, busy! That’s me.
Here’s my current status with the WIP:

Current WIP

This is where it is at this point tonight. I plan on getting back to work right after this post to churn about a few more thousand words. It’s all been edited as well, at least once. Some sections […]

What does that mean anyway?

That looks painful, and I don’t really understand how that’s supposed to mean hard work. Silly old phrases.
Why am I posting photos of grindstones? Because I’ve been putting my nose to one…figuratively. Over the weekend, I wrote 10k on my WIP, blasting me through the halfway point and into the really […]
