It looks like I haven't done a real update since April, and I've not done any book reports since February. I'm definitely not going to make my NYR goal of reading 52 books this year. I've had a hard time reading for many months, but I'm trying to get back at it ( Read more... )

My December Blogging Meme is looking kind of sparse if anyone would like to ask a question or give me a topic to write about this month. I would very appreciate it! You can leave more than one topic. I'm looking forward to sharing more with all of you ( Read more... )

State of the LJ: I've decided that since I have a permanent account (and lots of great perks) anyway, I'll tentatively keep my LJ unless I start hearing of some concrete heinous stuff going on through its pages. Only I HAVE MOVED myself mostly over to DW at this point. That's probably not fair to my lj friends who are still reading and commenting, ( Read more... )

After nine years, six partial-drafts of various backstory generations, copious amounts of research & worldbuilding, roughly 134k words in this draft alone, and, of course, a little help from my friends (which started a fantastic novel tradition), I can say that I have finally ~finished!~ my NaNo WonderSaga.

I have a full & complete ( Read more... )

Guess I'll start with goodies, since everyone likes those best ( Read more... )

~It's the most wonderful time of the year!~ I'll be hosting near-daily online write-ins in my writers' group's chatzy (no registration required) from now til the end of November.

NaNoWriMo is when writers everywhere, novice to published, give so much support & wordcount to the world. NaNo's about shutting one's inner editor up and simply WRITING ( Read more... )

My foray into LinkedIn has been discouraging. I'd really hoped that some of the services I've offered folks might get me some recs or endorsements, but that hasn't been going as well as I'd hoped ( Read more... )

I guess I've gone dark for quite a while. I haven't posted anything but book reviews here on LJ for the longest time, and I haven't been on facebook at all. I had to step away from social media pretty much entirely. I meant to step away from the internet, but I've actually been doing a lot of research as part of my self-care, so I've been on the ( Read more... )

A couple of friends and I have resolved to do our parts to breathe some life back into livejournal. LJ is too awesome to give up on. Care to join us in our pledge to resume real, quality activity here? I'll add you to our pledge list if you like, and we can all help & support each other! (If you don't want new friends or just don't want on this ( Read more... )

I still have my Farm 101 list, which I'm actually still plucking away at even if I haven't updated in forever. I also have a better sense of what kind of TIME and funds those goals take, so I realize my farm list wasn't as realistic as it should have been. Regardless, I will keep plucking away at it until April, when it's up. In the ( Read more... )
