If you're just joining us, welcome! I'm participating in my meme with Cait, Beautiful Books. I'm talking about my novel Lost Girls, which I just finished on December 2nd after writing it during NaNoWriMo. I'm super excited. You can read more about Lost Girls in the previous installments here, and here.And for the...
I know, I know. No post in 12 days. I'm ridiculous.For some reason, December has been 10 times...

There's something you should know about me: in addition to usually not finishing NaNo novels, I also have not successfully completed edits, revisions, or changes of any kind. (I admitted this dastardly fact here.) The few first drafts I have finished continue to sit on my hard drive, stagnant, as I wring my hands...
I've never finished a NaNoWriMo novel. I always get to the point of 70k. Then I stop. Because I just can't figure out how something ends. Thus it is that for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 I still have a bunch of unfinished first drafts. Sad, isn't it? Now, I got somewhat closer...
In many ways, this November wasn't quite what I expected. I'm not even sure what exactly to say about it--it's been quite the whirlwind.The biggest thing that happened to me was saying goodbye to someone very close to me--a kiddo from our daycare that we babysat since he was 6 weeks old. He...
Today for A Novel Idea, I'm going to try my darndest to get my writing juices flowing again. I got ahead in NaNo and promptly ended up... not writing. I'm writing now, but inspiation is still low. This is obviously a problem, so here I go.Despite the fact this doesn't actually have anything...
Fun fact time! You probably already know that I'm a huge fan of ... stuff. TV, mostly, but also movies and books and... you name it. I proudly claim the name of nerd and fangirl.I've wanted a blog where I could talk about that for a long time. Not that this blog isn't...

CALM DOWN. CALM DOWN. I DIDN'T ACTUALLY KILL ANYONE. Just a character. Good. Now that that's settled, let's...
NaNoWriMo is going gloriously, and by that, I mean it's been a glorious ROLLER COASTER. One day I hate my book, the next I don't. There have been many plot developments since I last spoke to you on the subject of Lost Girls, so prepare for the ride. (It will be a wild...
