A Little Bit of a #Fail // NaNoRebel Week Two

The goal hasn’t been goaling, and I’ve had to extend a lot of grace (and the mini-deadline) for myself again. 😉 *sigh* I only wrote another 800 words this week, but I got through a tough chapter (in more ways than one), so I’m hopeful this next week will be more productive. 😉 For now,...Continue reading »

My Thoughts (and Recs) for “Spooky Season”

We never celebrated Halloween when I was growing up. I was jealous of the cosplay element, but the rest, especially the decorations, were ick to me. As I’ve grown older, I’ve changed my position a little bit. At the end of the year, before a holiday of thanksgiving, a holiday of hope and joy, and...Continue reading »
