Keeping Projects a Secret
I start new projects all the time. Websites, writing projects, flesh and blood groups or clubs, blogs (I have about 9) and the occasional movie. * But I have a strange obsession with secrecy around them. Frequently, I work on a project until someone happens to glance over my shoulder and see it ( Read more... ) -
The C Word
Know what it is? Can.
People keep using it as if it is the end of all brilliance. "This is what we can do." Period. End of discussion. When really, what have you established there?
Well, wake up people. The world doesn't change based on what you CAN do. Go ahead and tell me everything you can do. Let's take me. I can run a marathon. I can get my ( Read more... ) -
Friday Five (Incl friend suggestions request?)
It's still Friday! 24 minutes of it left.
1. It feels like I've been offline for an age. Half of my friends list is completely gone & I suspect a handful of the others have moved to new journals. Who am I missing? Who's interesting? maggie_writes , who do I know? Suggestions would be great. :)
2. My minister said recently that the Tea Party are " ( Read more... ) -
Why Mochas Are Good For Your Waistline & Story Online! :)
No, really.
So let's say you are writerly little me. Who also happens to be 8k behind on her NaNo, but we'll ignore that for now. You decide to go to a coffee shop to write. (what else?) You arrive to find that, huzzah! Holiday drinks (namely peppermint mochas) are back in season. And the next number in your mind is a calorie count.
Well damn, you ( Read more... ) -
Art and Pain
So I started an art website. (ArtInspiresArt.com, if you happen to be interested). We just began getting up the first pieces of art: a song, some visual 2D art, photography.
Which is great.
Except that I really, really want to put some of my writing up. I created this website because I wanted a community where I could share my art. But I'm not ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo: Day...8?
Words: 11681
I caught up yesterday! Still have my writing to do for today, but we're going to ignore that for the time being. Okay? Good.
I realized yesterday that my NaNo was spiraling into the dark land of Pointless Angst, as most of my longer works tend to do. When in doubt, I make things angstier. (More angsty?) I spent my 1667 words yesterday ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo: Day 5
Which was yesterday. I believe this may be a day behind for the rest of the month.
Words When I Slept: 8100
Anyone know what my goal is supposed to be, by day 6? I lost my calculator.
In more important corners, I found... I'm not sure how to describe what I found. Art that makes me feel like I have a home on planet earth. The last time I found ( Read more... ) -

Music You All Need To Hear
By Dessa Darling of Doomtree, aka one of the most brilliant, witty & fascinating women on the planet. This technically has a genre, but I consider it poetry set to music:
Give it a shot. And then go listen to the rest of the songs on the album. :) -
(Untitled)
I started a new project a couple weeks ago & it's evolved into historical fiction. This means research. Lots of it. I'm not sure I like this so much. I DO love the way things just fall into place, though. When you have a history to base everything on, it's so much easier. It seems almost like cheating. One moment, huge plot hole, the next - the ( Read more... )
