I've almost made it through April. I didn't anticipate how much I would have going on this month, so writing has been harder to focus on. I did get a solid outline finished, which has been helpful to make the most of the time I have been able to sit down and clear my brain … Continue reading Odds & Ends 4/22-4/28

Odds & Ends 4/01-4/07
While writing this week, I felt like I was losing sight of the forest for all the trees in need of revising. I needed to get out of my head. So I decided to read it through out loud for a different perspective. Have you ever tried reading your writing aloud? If you haven't, I … Continue reading Odds & Ends 4/01-4/07

Book Cover Challenge
Last week, I was challenged by my friend Jera to participate in the #BookCoverChallenge, posting a picture of a book I love, with no explanation, each day for seven days, tagging a new friend as I do.

Captain Marvel is a solid entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it doesn't do much to rise above the middle of the pack. Captain Marvel plays it safe and, if history has taught us anything, it's that the Marvel movies that shine are the ones that fully embrace every weird and wonderful nuance of their worlds … Continue reading Review: Captain Marvel
Odds & Ends 3/4-3/10

It was a nice, almost restful way to power through the (hopefully) last days of winter and prep for that hour of sleep … Continue reading Odds & Ends 3/4-3/10

Odds & Ends 2/18-2/24 (aka Killing Your Darlings)
After a little birthday hoopla last week, this week it was back to the books—both reading and writing (or re-writing). I have to admit, it wasn't easy to write this week either. I'd come to a section that I knew needed significant restructuring, and I wasn't keen on taking it on (again). But I think … Continue reading Odds & Ends 2/18-2/24 (aka Killing Your Darlings)
Review: Isn’t It Romantic
For my birthday this year, I opted to check out Rebel Wilson's new romantic-comedy spoof Isn't It Romantic, and I'm happy to report it was a good choice. A rom-com spoof, you ask? Does that mean it's for people who love rom-coms, or people who love to make fun of them? I say the answer is … Continue reading Review: Isn’t It Romantic
