So, oddly enough, even though I posted every day last week–which I never remember to do–I wasn’t even here! I was in the faraway land of New York City, and it was AWESOME. To be honest, I hated it the first day. It was outrageously hot and muggy and gross and not [...]

Since there are quite a few expletives that have to do with bodily functions, today I ask, why not barfing? It seems to me it’s been overlooked.
Like, you could say, “Who left this barfing skateboard on the stairs?! I could have broken my barfing neck!” Or “I have to go to [...]

Yes, I know this is a pressing question on everyone’s mind. Or at least it was on my mind the other day when I started wondering what happened after the Odyssey ended and if Telemachus, Odysseus’ son, ever did anything cool. WELL. It turns on Odysseus had another son with Circe, due [...]

While I was doing some research on the Anemoi, the four winds, which make an appearance in Shades of Rome, I came across this hat pattern. I decided to make it while the book is on sub and I’m waiting to hear back from editors, since it seemed appropriate. I started it a [...]

So this probably won’t surprise anyone else out there, but it surprised me. Today I learned that I write Superhero novels. (Yeah, I’ll pause for you to say, “Um, no duh.” Except people probably don’t say no duh anymore.) But the reason you might not be surprised is that you ONLY [...]

I’m rereading Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede in audiobook form. (I have all of The Enchanted Forest Chronicles sitting next to me right now in hardback, but the library had the audiobooks and I’d never heard them before, so there you go.) I first read these books when I was 12 and [...]

I just watched the new Doctor Who. If you’re out of the loop, this was the first episode with the new Doctor, played by Matt Smith, since beloved David Tennant decided to leave the show. David Tennant was, like, the PERFECT Doctor. Of course, I’d been upset when 9 was leaving and [...]

Thankfully averted. Because, oh noes, woe to us, there was NO INTERNET for about 12 hours. It was a horrible ordeal and I have already blocked out most of it from my mind. But now it is working again and I can breathe. I think next week the new book might [...]

I do a lot of knitting and crocheting, especially when I’m not writing. It’s a nice way to be creative without having to actually think too hard about anything, because I just follow other people’s patterns and voila. It’s more fun if I’m watching shows or movies at the same time, so I [...]

I got caught in the rain on my way home from the post office. I swear the closer I got to home, the harder it poured. By the time I got back, I was sopping wet, and my socks were squishy inside my shoes and I was gushing water everywhere. My arm [...]
