Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been trying to “prepare” myself to jump back into editing on one of the stories I wrote last year. As it turns out, all I needed to do was invite people to read it to get my ass in gear on the editing! The project The new editing project […]
I’m BAAAAACK!
Two weeks gone! Holy hell. I had absolutely no intention of having my site inaccessible for nearly two whole weeks, but my stupid domain/hosting transfer took a lot longer than I expected. But it’s (mostly) done now, so now I just have to get back to posting regularly. Though I haven’t been posting on this […]
Week 4 NaNoWrimo Update and More: It’s Going to Be a Long Winter
If you know your movies, you know that one’s from American Outlaws, starring a few of my favs, Colin Farrell (In Bruges), Gabriel Macht (USA’s Suits), and Scott Caan (CBS’s Hawaii Five-0).

One of my main characters is loosely […]
Week 2 NaNoWriMo Update: And the Bottom Drops Out
This post is a little late, considering week 2 started a couple days ago. Needless to say, I’ve fallen way behind this week on just about everything, including sleep. I just started a new part-time job on Tuesday, and trying to keep up with Nano, my internship, my blogs, and my freelance work with only […]
Week 1 NaNoWriMo Update: Progress!
The first week is over, but, I am kicking some serious novel-writing butt so far! I was so afraid that I wasn’t going to be able to find time this year with everything else I had going on, that I think I overcompensated. It did help that Thursday night’s TV line-up was limited to just […]
