Earlier this month I contemplated joining Hubpages and writing silly articles about Asian pop music to see if I could make any money through AdSense. Obviously, not going to be the main source of income in my life, nor do I want it to be. I’m cool with that. It would just be kinda cool…
EDIT: I have no idea what happened to the formatting in this post. I’ve tried fixing it multiple times now and nothing’s changed. Oh well~ Over at the The Bathroom Monologues, John is encouraging bloggers to write about the best books they read in 2011. Okay! 2011 was the year I kinda-sorta got back into…
All I wanted for Christmas was a Kindle Fire and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I got both! First, obligatory YAAAAY about another Fairy Boy game that I will not be able to finish before I leave for Japan again. Playing so much Zelda is good for my imagination because it makes me want…
I’m in the wrong business. Wow, I made that title sound cranky. To say that YA fiction has been growing in popularity in recent years would be an understatement. Everywhere bookshelves are expanding to include “teen titles” and a vast majority of the author blogs I follow are those of YA authors. (The others seem…
Yesterday I shared my floor plans for one of my novels and yeah, that was fun. Today I’m talking about another facet of setting, and that’s where, well, the story actually takes place. (Or, where the houses and apartments that yesterday’s floor plans represent actually go.) The CROSS// series takes place in a fictional, alternate…
I’m the type of person who cares a lot about logical placement. Even when I was a kid watching sitcoms on TV I always wondered how those bedrooms managed to logically fit in those house facades…then I learned that they were all TV sets, and oh. I spend hours planning out my action scenes to…
pfffft. (NOTE: Leaving the 2 Truths & a Lie Game open for another day or so! Go check it out~) Yesterday I went to the local independent bookstore in my…county…(sigh) and, of course, they have a “Local Authors” section. Since I come from a pretty small area, most of the books were self-published and contained…
Damn straight the Truths are orange. Meme time! Well, maybe it’s a meme. I think things only turn into memes for real if people actually repeat them…or something. Anyway, the other night I was watching a movie in which the characters were playing Two Truths And a Lie. And after years and years of playing…
I’m back in America for the holidays. I also have laryngitis. Coupled with intense jet-lag, it’s been a rough weekend. I have managed to get some writing done, however. Only a little bit though. Tried to get more writing done before this blog post, but I’ve spent the past hour sitting here nodding off to…
I feel like I got a lot accomplished this week, but in reality I don’t think I got much done at all. I think I feel as such because I opened up my programs a lot – and I got a lot of preparations done…and I was very productive in other, non-writing areas. But I…
