Books, movies, and writing. You know, the good stuff.
I love musicals. I'm pretty sure nearly every right-thinking person on the planet loves musicals, although I wouldn't vouch for the fact if you pressed me. The point is, I LOVE THEM. But I have a hard time picking a single favorite musical theater production. Probably because I don't have enough money to spend days/weeks/years... Continue Reading →
The above GIF is technically unrelated to NaNo, but is a #big mood right about now. This November was my first time doing NaNoWriMo. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who knows me that I didn't do a full 50K, or even attempt a full 50K. Rightly or wrongly, competitive group events tend... Continue Reading →
I don't like rereading books. Why not, you say? I DON'T KNOW, I say. And I throw up my hands in despair. Yep, in case you haven't guessed already, this is very hard for me to admit. Because it makes no sense! How can I love reading as much as I do, yet hate re-reading? ... Continue Reading →
Recently, the lovely Rachel Kovaciny-aka-Hamlette tagged me on Facebook for something called the "10-Day Movie Challenge." The rules are simple: every day, post a picture from a movie that has affected you in some way. No explanation, just the picture. However . . . y'all know I'm pretty much incapable of referencing any movie without... Continue Reading →

I am referring, of course, to Freddie Mercury. It's hard to put into words what Freddie Mercury and his band, Queen, mean to me. ... Continue Reading →
Greetings, lords, ladies, peasants, and assorted jesters! *sweeping bow whilst scattering fairy dust* (Okay, okay, none of you are ACTUALLY peasants. That would be very rude of me. Of course I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. 😉 ) Today, I'm here as part of the blog tour for my dear friend Allison Tebo's new... Continue Reading →
Warning: What you are about to read is the product of a two-thousand-plus-mile road trip and seven days and nights of glorious exhaustion. Proceed with caution. 😉 So there I was, stuffed in the backseat of a two-door Honda Civic on the way to Memphis, Tennessee from New Haven, Connecticut, and I was thinking. As... Continue Reading →
YO. EVERYONE. LISTEN UP. My bestest writer pal just published an amazing new Snow White retelling . . . sooooooooooooooooooo, here comes the bragging!!! (Shut up, Wyn, you are the best, and anyway it's my turn to talk. :-P) But One Life, by Wyn Estelle Owens, is historical fiction, my favorite genre. This story plunks... Continue Reading →
What's up, munchkins? NaNoWriMo is just around the corner! *cue wild hyena laughter* And, as luck would have it, the lovely Hamlette tagged me (well really, she tagged "anyone who is doing NaNo, or contemplating doing it") with The NaNoWriMo Fanatic Tag. So obviously, I can't get out of writing a NaNo post now. ;-)... Continue Reading →
