As some of you may recall, I held a 20 page critique contest (raffle, really) in honor of 200 posts! Although only a few people entered (and thank you to all that entered! I didn’t expect anybody to, bwahaha.) that’s still a few enough to have us a raffle! So the tickets were counted, the…
I write about Japan and music and Japanese music a lot. It’s kinda my ~thing~. Anyway, two hubs for you this week! First one is a review of Ayumi Hamasaki’s latest album called Party Queen It’s mostly a favorable review so I suggest going to check it out and getting some new music – it’s…
c. Hubpages Seeing as how it’s Monday and I can post whatever I damn well please on Mondays, I’ve decided to sit and squee about how much money I’m making on Hubpages lately. No, I’m not making hundreds, even dozens of dollars a day. But so far for the month of March I’ve made $2.02….
Had a fairly busy week again, but I still managed to sneak in some editing and writing time…somewhere. Anyway, I’m Chapter 8 now, and when I opened it it was 35 pages and 20k words. WELL OKAY THEN. I think that’s the record for this novel. I mean, I write long chapters as it is…
…Well, just as the subject says. I know that vast amounts of you use beta readers, but I rarely see talk about hiring professional editors (who are quite expensive, of course) before taking the self-publishing plunge. So my curiosity is going lyke w0. Feel free to say whether yes or no in the comments. Did…
Hey everyone! Time to bust another one of these out. (What? It’s called “flash” for a reason, right?) Well, I had intended to write Red Scare, Pt II for this week, but it’s turning out longer than I anticipated and I don’t have enough time to finish / edit it. So instead you get this…
To celebrate over nine years of me stannin’ the crap out of this amazing woman, I bring you Ayumi Hamasaki: The Queen of Japanese Pop Music. Don’t let her initial squeaky vocals fool you – not only is she the most successful female singer in the history of Japan, she’s also incredibly thoughtful, talented, and…
Well, look at what time it is again! How about that! It’s time for another party post to celebrate this blog’s 200th entry! Hard to believe that the last one was just in September. In fact, it’s almost been exactly six months. Does that mean we’ll be having a party post every six months? Maybe!…
My best kept secret that isn’t a secret at all is that I keep a health dose of Sims 3 (used to be Sims 2, will probably one day be Sims 4) in my life. Recently I’ve been playing about an hour every day, but I go through spurts like these and eventually I won’t…
I…I have no better subtitle than that. Seriously.I mean, just the usual editing junk. Finally made it up to chapter 8 in Rebirth which is where I left off last time before Nano made me go “LOL U” at it until this past month. So that means back to serious editing, full of “omg i…
