Everybody was NaNo Writing
Except for me!
This month has blown by, and I suddenly realize that I’m staring at year-end goals and wondering how I did and how things are going, and what all I need to do to get things in order.
The month started with me doing trades with a coworker so I was pretty exhausted by the end, then we (as in my dad) finally finished that hydroponics room. He didn’t want my help. I was honestly pretty stoked to only have to do FanQuest last weekend. There’s a ton of craft shows that will take p...

Now it’s Personal: Moral Relativism and The Harfoots
I tried to be objective last week, so here’s pure opinion.
I stand by that ROP could have completely omitted the Harfoot story. When I read Game of Thrones in Uni, I actually read all of Dany’s chapters and then I went back and read the rest of the story the way it was intended. I realized her story wasn’t affected the main story; and I’m not the only one because it was resubmitted as a novella and won some awards.
I’m also not going to be grumpy and say that there can be no creative a...

Thoughts of Rings of Power
I’ll talk just about the show here, I’ll talk about certain specific aspects with other posts. Paragons, moral complexity, etc. I’m also not going to give my opinions on the deviations from the lore (elves being affected by cold, mithril being key to elven survival, etc).
People have been nervous about Amazon’s giant adaptation from the second age of Middle Earth for years and when it came out, there was controversy about the actual numbers and review boming. We’re approaching the 20 yea...

Why I care about the quality of the writing
I got one more episode to see of Rings of Power – I think the general consensus is the show is massively suffering from weak writing. I’ll wait until I see the final episode before I talk about it, but here’s a little preamble. I admittedly can be a bit of a jerk when I R&R anything. I also can admit when something is or isn’t for me, or conversely when something isn’t as good as it could be but it’s up my alley. I don’t mind that you like stuff that I don’t.
I started writing young so I had ...

Review of The Lunar Chronicles / Authorish Stuff
I’ll talk about Rings of Power soonish. We only have two episodes to go for this season. Personally not a fan but we have two to go, so let’s wait for it. I was willing to say “it’s poorly written” but I’ve seen enough stuff in the background and even some that’s understated that I think it’s done intentionally. Know how I I’ve said, “Respect your audience” again and again? Yeah, don’t serve the audience crap and say we just don’t understand or hate or have unrealistic expectations. Stuff I like...

Final Week For The Mermaid and The Unicorn Round up and The Problem with Uber Powerful Characters (Finally)
Enter to win the GC, not to mention the ebook is on sale this week. I’ll announce the winners next week.
Superman needs kryptonite. Captain Marvel needs to be sent hitherto unknown so she’s not around to solve all the problems in End Game. When you’re fighting the boss, he’s a beast. When you unlock him as a playable character, it’s like you unlocked a different skin wit...

Week 3 and Respect the Lore
Third Week Round Up – This week is the last week to enter the draw to win a GC. Thank you so much to everyone who’s hosted, reviewed, and did a girl a solid sharing.
This week was a lot of fun because I got to pick my own topics quite a bit.
About that Lore Thing
I’m listening to a lot of people go on and on about Galadriel in the RoP show, and ...

Blog Tour Week Round Up and The Problem with Entering Science-Fiction and Fantasy Fandoms
Just a quick update: Ankle is not fractured. Sore, and my mummy took away my car.
This was supposed to be about “Uberpowerful Characters” but let’s just talk about science fiction and fantasy fans and, why you do not mess with the lore.
I played final fantasy video games on the PS1 when I was in junior high and high school. I whined when FFVIII came o...

Week One Round Up / More on Adaptation
Sorry for the delay – yesterday after my pre-work nap, my ankle decided to swell up and I can barely put any weight on it.
Andi’s Middle Grade and Chapter Books
Give some love to The Avid Reader, because no matter what I try I can’t share her link on Facebook. I talked to Marianne about it, she said it’s an ongoing issue Facebook will not resolve.
Also, I need to learn to stop sending pictures wit...

I’m going to book another tour for another book, but I’m going to be busy. The tour starts a week from today and I just got the list of who needs what, so my apologies to the blog hosts you are a very high priority and your articles will be sent in a timely manner. Honestly a lot of these articles are fun so it’ll be a pleasure.
Vacation went by too quick a...
