The past few weeks have been a little busier than I anticipated, but mostly in good ways. I did get my first act finished up by that first week of July as I had hoped to, made a little progress in my second act, got to have a lot of good family time, and I … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/10-7/23
Review: Water Falling
The third entry in H.A. Pruitt's Anelthalien series
Odds & Ends 6/12-6/25
The new writing schedule is going well, I think. I feel more productive at least, and I'm certainly becoming more of a morning person (although I may have already been on that track courtesy of my niece and fur-nephews). Getting up earlier is harder for me, but right now, with the sun coming out earlier … Continue reading Odds & Ends 6/12-6/25
Review: The Ten Thousand Doors of January
My thoughts on Alix E Harrow's debut novel.
Odds & Ends 5/8-5/28
May has proven to be a busy month. So much so, that I've decided to shake up my writing schedule a bit and try something new. I've never been much good at writing (or doing anything that requires focus, really) when there is a cap on my time, like knowing I need to be somewhere … Continue reading Odds & Ends 5/8-5/28
Review: Elements of Cadence Duology
Review of A River Enchanted & A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross
Odds & Ends 4/3-4/16

I've been experimenting with writing some early scenes from a different character's point of view and I'm liking the results. Last weekend, I … Continue reading Odds & Ends 4/3-4/16
Recommended Read/Watch: Shadow & Bone (Grishaverse)
My thoughts on Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse and why you should give it a chance if you haven't already.
Odds & Ends 3/6-3/19
The past two weeks have been busy, but good. I got to see the touring production of Hamilton with my family, which was awesome, knocked out a bit of spring cleaning, re-organized my editing binder, binged the new season of Shadow and Bone, and now I'm getting a girls' weekend with my niece since my brother isn't … Continue reading Odds & Ends 3/6-3/19
Review: Spells For Forgetting
My thoughts on Adrienne Young's slow burn mystery
Odds & Ends 2/6-2/19
I'm feeling pretty good about the past two weeks. I made myself a writing schedule with specific benchmark goals to reach, and I stuck to it pretty successfully. I'm feeling a lot more satisfied with my world-building now, so my next phase will be examining how some of those elements affect my plot going forward. … Continue reading Odds & Ends 2/6-2/19
