I have no artistic ability.
Okay, that’s not entirely true. I can actually do a number of arts in a competent manner, but drawing has eluded me most of my life. I had brief flashes of drawing ability my freshman year of high school and my freshman year of college (odd coincidence). I can get […]
Happy Easter! Happy Spring!
Spring is supposed to be a time for rebirth, new beginnings, cleaning up. Well, let’s see if I can be reborn as someone who actually pays attention to her blog. (You guys can always poke me if I start slipping. Contact info’s under the contact tab.)
As you can see, the website […]
That’s not actually a true statement. It’s been a couple of years, and this is just the first time I’ve noticed.
When I first did NaNoWriMo in 2002, it was like pulling teeth to hit 1,700 words each day. It was the exact same way in 2003 and 2004. In early 2005, I told myself I […]
Here on this fourth day of NaNoWriMo, I have nearly 20,000 words, slightly sore wrists, and just a few links.
The first is going to be added to my “Things to avoid during November” list. Someone has created a Zork-like version of Pac-Man. I played both games when I was a kid. I started playing it […]
Today is November 1!
What this means is that for the next thirty days, I will next to impossible to talk to because I will either be writing incessantly, or bemoaning my lack of motivation.
That’s right! National Novel Writing Month officially started at midnight! Countless thousands of people around the world are embarking on a quest […]
I haven’t done such a great job keeping Reader under control this week. (It’s been insane around here. Or I’ve been insane…hard to keep it straight some days.)
As a result, there are quite a few links to share. Amazingly, though, there are more quotes to share.
There’s the link I’m holding to share with a fellow […]
I’m not really sure when it happened, but I’ve become nearly obsessed over the strengths of blended storytelling. Maybe it took root when my best friend told me I had to start reading manga, and was encouraged when someone else loaned me Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics. (I’m spending this week reading Making Comics and Reinventing […]
I think I’ve been writing things down my entire life. Stories, ideas, random things, song lyrics. You can sort of see that reflected in this blog because it’s my personal blog. I’ve actually had a vision for this blog that has managed to never manifest itself for unknown reasons. Oh, well. This blog tends to […]
Today, I’d like to introduce you to a fabulous, free resource in your community. That’s right, in your community. You don’t have to go far to make use of it. It’s your local library. Gone are the days when the library was full of old, moldy books that might or might not help you with […]
Up until I moved to Seattle, I seriously always had a standard deck of cards on me. You never know when one will come in handy.
My favorite deck actually lives on my window sill next to my bed and desk, never far from reach, and even closer to the deck I actually want to talk […]
