My stomach is fit to explode. A delicious Thanksgiving indeed at my in-laws. Right now, I'm sitting on the couch, in my wonderful, blissful post-Thanksgiving dinner afterglow. It's heavenly. . . . I have a lot to be thankful for. For all the griping about wishing that we could … Read More »

NaNoWriM-OMG I have to write how much per day?
NaNoWriMo - I refuse to let you beat me. Cranked 17,000 words today. Outlined the rest of the plot and scenes I want/need to write before next Wednesday. Next Wednesday - holy crap, this deadline is coming up fast. I'm aiming to write another 5,000 words before midnight … Read More »
Welcome to November’s ICLW!
It's been a while since I participated in an ICLW, so I figured it was time to jump back in. (Don't know what ICLW is? Find out here.) Not like I'm already doing NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo at the same time or anything this month. I also realized I've picked up more new readers in … Read More »

NaNoWriMo or Bust
Remember when I crossed the 10,000 word mark for NaNoWriMo? Early last week? And then how I kind of stopped writing? My friend Honeybee called me out and said: "Girl, you need to write." And she's right. I set a goal for myself: 50,000 words or bust. And then I decided, why not … Read More »

The Chatterbox is Now Open
I've been living in a bit of a self-centered bubble lately. Between preparing myself to leave Tufts, getting my business started, and playing Skyrim all weekend... my reader has been a little neglected. My Twitter account (ironically enough) has been a little quiet. I've been so … Read More »
Look at That: I’m an Entrepreneur
Having Friday off for Veteran's Day was a total gift. I spent most of the day and most of Saturday building my business website, feeling inspired from some particularly great networking conversations on Friday afternoon. (Hell, I knew it was going to be a good day when I had a … Read More »
