Without Reason

I wake up this morning, perfectly fine, my long hair everywhere. I put on some jeans and a t-shirt, an orange baseball cap, a hoodie. I get in the car and my mom and I drive Taylor the Lovely to her first day of high school.
Her. First. Day. Of. High School.
My baby sister is a [...]

All the News

All the news, just one blog.
I have lots of reworking to do to THE NOVEL. My beta reader/writing buddy (ahh! I have a beta reader! How cool is that?) says that she doesn’t like one of the main characters. In fact she says, “I wish she would just act like a biznatch so I’d have [...]

Morning Weirdness

So something weird happened this morning.
I woke up, early (okay okay, stop laughing, that’s weird but it’s not the WEIRD THING that I’m talking about) and you know how sometimes, when you first wake up, you’re all disoriented? It was like that. It was five-something (almost six) in the morning and my alarms hadn’t rang.
Or [...]

Crazy Motherlady

Hello friendlies. So I started to have this post be about Ockham’s Razor, but then I didn’t know where I was going with that so I gave up on it. I do like Ockham’s Razor though. Not as a scientific thing, but just generally in life I like the theory that the simplest answer could [...]

Name Issues

So someone tell me if this is weird: to have practically all of my characters have names that end in the o-n sound. For instance: Addison, Peyton, Tobin. I’m trying to choose names from my favorites on Nymbler, but you know what the problem is with that?
SO MANY OF THEM END IN O-N.
Seriously. It’s like [...]

Got Pizza?

Let’s talk about weight. Because that’s the in thing to do now, right?
I’m rather skinny.
Oooh, I know. I’m not supposed to say that, am I? I’m supposed to complain about my pudgy belly or flabby arms or SOMETHING, ANYTHING, even if people routinely comment on OHMYGOSH YOUR WRISTS ARE TINY!
But why? It’s a fact: I. [...]

Stuck in Second

I am always second place, always almost good enough, always the leftover.
Seventh grade, science class. It was the honors class so a good portion of my friends were in the class. And while I wasn’t Miss Popularity, I was never Miss Unpopular either; I had more than enough friends, really I did. And because of [...]

That Girl In The Background

I am generally a very calm person, very even keeled. People have mentioned it to me, stating that I have a calm spirit, a peaceful demeanor. My emotions are strong, but they exist below the surface; I’m not one to blow up in a fit of temper, or to go wild with excitement. I’m even. I’m [...]

A Life In Words

Do you ever get that feeling in you that you just have to write? Even though you really have nothing to write about and your mind isn’t actually coming up with anything, you still need the feeling of fingers on a keyboard and thoughts flowing onto the screen?
It’s what’s happening to me right now. 11:11 [...]
