PerPoWriMo
Comments Off on PerPoWriMo
PerPoWriMo. The various wrimos are getting a little ridiculous, which means I must join in. How did it become March already? Something something, time moves in mysterious ways, something something. Mom and I are doing PerPoWriMo this month. WTF is PerPoWriMo, you ask? Personal Poetry Writing Month. Not personal poetry, just our own personal poetry writing month. April is NaPoWriMo… Read more »
2020 Reso-goal-tions
OK, take 2 on getting my shit together…I started this post on January 1st. It is January 10th. I have not finished this post. Let’s see if we can change that, shall we? Do you like that word? Reso-goal-tions? I made it up today January 1st. I never seem to make pure resolutions, and trend towards goal-setting instead — but… Read more »
WiP Playlists: Anala
Comments Off on WiP Playlists: Anala
This summer I started work on Anala, third book in The Bellica Trilogy. As with all my other projects, I created a playlist to help inspire me while writing it. As I don’t really know how to create a listenable playlist for you all online yet, I figured I’d just post the list of songs. No true spoilers, but seeing… Read more »

Comments Off on Rewolfing the Soul paperback now available for preorder!
Yes, that’s right! Rewolfing the Soul is now available for preorder! I am SO EXCITED to release this book. I think the poetry in it is some of my best work. And I know, I haven’t been sharing as much as I’d like to Instagram and certainly not to here on this blog, but I have been writing a ton…. Read more »
2019 Micropoems, January through March
Comments Off on 2019 Micropoems, January through March
I’ve been posting micropoems on Instagram, Ello, Patreon and Pinterest this year. I did have a thing set up where they would instantly cross-post here, too, but it broke a lot of the time and just didn’t work the way I wanted. So I figured I’d gather up the posts from the last 3 months and put them in one… Read more »

Welcome 2019: Goals and Thoughts
Comments Off on Welcome 2019: Goals and Thoughts
To start: I’m not totally sold on this new WordPress editor. I know when it came out people were PISSED about it, and honestly, I can see why. On the other hand, it has some cool features. What I’m really not pleased about is the apparent disappearance of the word count function — or maybe it’s somewhere here and I… Read more »
Just finished my 4th novel, nbd.
Comments Off on Just finished my 4th novel, nbd.
One of my goals for 2018 was to finish #FromTheAshes, book 2 in #TheBorderlandsSaga. Well, last night, I did just that. Talk about getting it in at the last second! I am SO HAPPY it’s done, and so excited to revise it while I’m writing book 3, #TheMoonrunner. I’m hopeful book 3 is a faster write than book 2 was,… Read more »
2018 End of Year Reflection
Comments Off on 2018 End of Year Reflection
This month I realized I hadn’t posted here since July, and didn’t want to end 2018 on that note. So, an EOY reflection…and I would say an explanation of where I’ve been, but if you’ve been reading this blog for any period of time you know I tend to drop off the face of the earth for long periods. I… Read more »
What even is blogging?
Comments Off on What even is blogging?
Obviously, I have no idea. My last post here was Valentine’s Day. That’s ridiculous. Granted, this time I actually have an excuse: school did kind of eat my face. It was all worth it, though! Check out these puppies: If you can’t see the image, it’s a list of all the classes I took and my final grade in each… Read more »
2018 So Far (pretty good, with a side of “Fuck you Student Loans”)
I don’t know about you but my 2018 so far has been pretty awesome. Well, I say awesome. I mean, it’s been good. I’ve started doing that Year in Pixels thing — I wasn’t even going to, but the planner I bought and put into my binder had it already laid out on a page so I was like, hey,… Read more »
