I’m a big proponent of writing regularly. As in every day. But sometimes a girl needs a night off.
Last night, I was tired. I’ve been having some trouble with a knee due to an unfortunate fall on a particularly sporty Father’s Day extravaganza. After doing some grad school stuff after a day of working in […]

I don’t have any news or updates today so I thought I’d do a fun writing meme. I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you want to take this and do it on your own blog, let me know!
What’s Your Writing Style?
1. Are you a “pantser” or a “plotter?”
Neither. I’m a plantster. I do […]

Over the weekend, Cappy and I had a full fun day of nerd activities. Trips to toy stores, the Strand bookstore and the Apple Store. There was lots of fun with Harry Potter toys and the collection of the British version of Books 1 and 2.
Anyway, here are some of the piccies of the day. […]

Today I was thinking about writing goals and accomplishments. About success and how it’s different for everyone. About how I started this blog a year ago to get serious about my writing.
I have a very big long-term goal. It’s a difficult one, and the odds are against me. But here it is: I would like […]

Well, the big move is complete. That is, I’m in the apartment with all my belongings. But all those belongings are in boxes and are scattered around in large piles that are hard to maneuver. But there’s something really great about all of this. I have so much more space, and I’ll be able to […]

I’m back from Italy! I had a great time, saw some great old buildings and statues and attended a beautiful wedding. It would have been perfect except for my extreme mold allergy. Since Venice is full of mold, my allergies kicked in big time. Anyway, here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip!
Roaming […]

If you’ve stopped by and noticed I haven’t updated the blog lately, it’s because I’m in Venice! It’s beautiful here, and I’ve been getting some great edits done on the novel while listening to the singing Gondoliers pass by the rented apartment window.
I’ll be back later this week. Can’t wait to get started on the […]

After a pretty hectic past couple of days, things are starting to settle down. I think I’ve found an apartment. I hope I’ve found an apartment. There’s still some paperwork and a whole approval process that I have to go through before I can actually call it my own.

Today was a beautiful day. Spring has arrived! I was having trouble staying in the stuffy office this afternoon so I took an hour break to get outside. I strolled over to Bryant Park and basked in the sun while reading Tithe by Holly Black and scribbling plot notes about my WIP.
It was very relaxing […]

Happy Earth Day everyone.
If you didn’t know, I’m a big advocate for the environment. We live on a beautiful, thriving planet, and I believe we should do our best to live harmoniously with it. I don’t always make the right decisions in this regard, but I’m trying. I don’t want our habits […]
