Back in December I agreed to read a book. SHOCKING, I know. I'm a slow reader, and I almost didn't agree to read this because it was a tight deadline, but I couldn't withstand the pull of two enby characters falling in love on the page. So, let's recap. This book releases TODAY! You can … Continue reading A Jade’s Diamond by Char Dafoe #bookreview #enby #nonbinary #wlw #romance

Brandi Carlile Rabbit Hole #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
So many rabbit holes this week, but the one I'm super excited about is Brandy Carlile music! It's my new favorite station on Pandora to write to.

I keep telling them it'll make them smarter, but I … Continue reading Brandi Carlile Rabbit Hole #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
Progress is Progress #ROW80 #AmWriting #Mourn #KansasBeatitude
I feel like I can add the tag #amwriting this week because I did actually do some writing, even if it wasn't a lot. I managed 1700 words on Thursday before I headed off to work, and while I'd had intentions to write on Friday and Saturday, it just didn't happen. I spent Sunday afternoon … Continue reading Progress is Progress #ROW80 #AmWriting #Mourn #KansasBeatitude

Rainbow Con 2014

WIPpet Wednesday!!! January 8, 2014
Whew! it's been a long time since I've been around for this. Through struggling with depression and three trips last month, and advent at church and reading for a one week intensive course of which I'm currently taking, it's no wonder I didn't get ANY writing or editing done! But now I'm back! I mentioned … Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday!!! January 8, 2014

Grammar Wednesday: POV–1st person
I've decide the next group of grammar goodness will be about persons in writing. There are typically 3 persons, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! Go figure, the numbers go up. First person, at least from what I have seen, is becoming far more common--that might just be because I'm seeing it more, not that it actually … Continue reading Grammar Wednesday: POV–1st person
Grammar Wednesday: ACTIVE PHRASING

Beta-reading
Today I am working on editing. And not my own stuff. I finished up a Twilight fanfic (yes, I beta it...no I do not write it, nor have I read the books or the movies, so sometimes beta'ing can be quite interesting). I beta for a website called Project Team Beta, which takes on a … Continue reading Beta-reading
The Failure of Time
I wanted to share this blog and the struggles that I have been dealing with for the past "little" while. It seems over this past week to me that each person's story and struggle is important to understanding who they are and where they come from. It is also rather therapeutic for those who are … Continue reading The Failure of Time
