Overflowing writing ideas!
Not a bad thing here. I'm finishing up a short story I started in July that was my Camp NaNoWriMo entry. I completed my word count, but the completion of the story has sailed at least 14K words beyond that. Much of a surprise considering that I am hand writing it in a cheap 17 cent notebook ( Read more... ) -
On language and writing
A few weeks ago I went to Chicago for the ALA annual convention. While there, I got the opportunity to use several of my foreign languages. I spoke Spanish, German and Russian all while there. I enjoyed it so much, and I wish I could make a regular thing of speaking my languages. That's what I miss by living in a rural area instead of in a city ( Read more... ) -
Man of Steel
Dusting off my journal. I still read from time to time even if I don't post. I'd probably be a horrible blogger because I just don't work on growing my cult of personality.
I went to see Man of Steel today. I thought the movie was well cast in its main roles, and I had some fun picking out some favorite cameos. The visual effects for Krypton ( Read more... ) -
My own house?
I sat in church this evening, and I was struck with an idea so completely bold and out of the blue that I might have to make it happen. I thought that I needed to build my own house. Seriously. My own house ( Read more... ) -
Random opinions on writing
I've been buying Kindle books left and right now that I have an Android device to use for reading the content. I have only paid for one book, but the rest of the titles are free releases. I have too many already and may have to cull some of them ( Read more... ) -

It's not that I have anything interesting to say. I'm just posting here to prove that I am still tangentally around ( Read more... ) -
About names...
I bought an ebook last night because of an ad I saw on Good Reads, a site I recently joined. It involved two of my favorite things... wolf shape shifters and a heroine with my same first name. I read a few excerpts of this short story (35K words), and thought I'd enjoy it for the cheap price ( Read more... ) -

Being entertained
So last weekend, I listened to the audiobook of The Lovely Bones as read by the author. She was a very flat reader, but eventually I got over it because the main character is dead. Maybe she just can't get worked up about things. The story itself was quite engrossing.
Also, I am watching this K-Drama on Hulu called Faith. I am enjoying it 3 ( Read more... )
