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 know of the superhero […]
Dealing with Dragons
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 LOVED […]
Books!
I may have opened the door to find three boxes of books and shouted YES! for all the neighbors to hear. Except I don’t think they were listening. But here they are, my shiny new hardback copies of The Rise of Renegade X! Here they are in their boxes. I was not impressed with FedEx’s […]
The 11th Doctor
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 we moved onto […]
Crisis!
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 be going on sub […]
Ideas
I keep meaning to have more non-writerly posts (or, you know, just more posts in general), but then I think no one wants to hear about my mild-yet-mysterious foot pain, or how everyone at the grocery store smells and stands in front of the milk right when I need it, or what a success it […]
What was in the mailbox?
Not my mailbox. This is not an exciting tale of getting something cool in the mail, but of finding something lodged in a public mailbox. Wait, you say, what do you mean, lodged? And what would be lodged in a mailbox? A public mailbox that’s supposed to be available for everyone to use? As far […]
Knitting + Memory
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 usually do […]
Soggy
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 got really wet […]
I am a pop culture collectible!
Or at least my book is. It must be a pop culture collectible, since you can buy it on this pop culture collectibles site. You do not know how happy it makes me that you can buy Batman and Harry Potter merchandise in the same place you can buy my book (excluding Amazon, of course, […]
