Ramblings of an aspiring writer

As an unagented writer of YA and a published author of ebooks, I’m in this kind of no man’s land of productivity. I’m still writing, of course. I don’t believe in too much downtime, but writing doesn’t mean finishing.
As I’ve mentioned before, I put a hold on Dani’s story because I’m still in a bit [...]

I started kindergarten the fall of 1978, and I have vague recollections of tears and more than a little stress. I also recall that horrible haircut I mentioned a while back, but it has had its post. My mom had already dealt with shipping five other kids off to kindergarten, so I think the emotional [...]

So my new Monday feature is kind of a catch-all for whatever I feel like talking about. Might be writing related, might not. Hopefully it’s fun.
Summer television season is winding down, which means I’m losing Leverage, Warehouse 13, Eureka, and White Collar soon (along with a bunch of other shows, but those are my summer [...]

Since I started on my journey as an author, one of the things I promised myself was that I wouldn’t be an asshat or a whiner. I mean, really, what’s the point? Being a jerk won’t ease the publication process for anyone. In return, I’ve had the good fortune of having others in the industry [...]

When I was a kid, my favorite cartoon was Scooby Doo (not all that different from a lot of other kids). Even as a kid, I knew the show was goofy and kind of stupid, but I loved it anyway. There is a certain security in the formula of a Scooby Doo mystery as well [...]

It’s kind of silly to do an update this week since I’ve been gone on a long girls’ weekend for most of it, but I’ll do my best. Sorry about no post on Friday, but I was having a little too much fun.

Fitness — I’ve done a ton of walking here in Toronto (as my [...]

Fall TV shows are right around the corner which means it’s almost time for Glee! I’m finding conflicting dates for the premiere, but everything says September, so it’s SOON!

For those of you not in the know, Glee follows the story of a high school show choir and its members through the ups and downs of [...]

Things have been kind of crazy in the personal life lately, so that’s kind of put a crimp in most other things.

Fitness — Working out? What’s that? Yeah. I kind of fell off my exercise program, but on a high note I’ve been sticking to the diet for the most part (weekends are a bear).
The [...]

So the wonderful Angela Addams decided to do a “What I Learned Last Year” post last week and tagged me in it. I kind of like these blog chains, but everyone I’ve done before came with an award of some sort, and this one didn’t which made me sad. So, I decided to make one [...]

So, here I am sitting on my couch, desperately trying to come up with a post for today. I’ve honestly been thinking about it for a couple days now (WBW is proving harder than I thought it would be), and was about to post on Twitter that I needed help because I had nothing. Then [...]
