Book Review - Fluency

It'd been years since I read a sci-fi novel, the last being Children of Dune, and I didn't finish it. Luckily, after an extended hiatus from the genre, I made my return with Fluency by Jennifer Foehner Wells. After this novel I am eagerly seeking out my next sci-fi read. That's right, Fluency got me back into the genre.
First, I love that it was set in the present day and in our solar system. So many sci-fi stories take place far from Earth or in the future. It's nice to find one set...

My Dream Cast for "The Bad" Movie

I was looking at my writing friend Kayti's blog yesterday and I saw where she'd chosen a cast for her book if it were a movie. Well, this combined three of my favorite things; my writing, movies, and wasting time on the internet. How could I not copy her?

My solution to the broken New Years resolution

 I am seeing a lot of blog posts about New Years Resolutions. We all know promises to ourselves are often the first ones broken. Do you suppose that's because there's little accountability? So what if you disappoint yourself? You're awesome and you know it. If no one else knows you gave up, does it even matter?

 It matters a little. Continually breaking resolutions establishes a pattern and patterns have a way of becoming habit. (As a side note, the word Resolution means -- "a firm d...

Another week gone by...

It's been a week since my last post and plenty has happened. Christmas has come and gone, the NFL regular season is over, and I was introduced to Trivia Crack. All three of these events rate equally in importance in my life.

Amid these distractions I am happy to report I've done absolutely no meaningful writing or editing! Now, a full week later, it is difficult to get the words out. I spent the week thinking, "It'll be nice to have a break," and, aside from the guilt of not producing anything...
