Characters

I'll be using this space to post character sheets about some of my characters. I'm still looking for a template I really like.

The End of 2016 - Lessons Learned

Well, folks, this will be my last post of the year. I've certainly not been as consistent as I would have liked, but it has been a year full of ups and downs so I think I did okay overall. I know this has been a tough year for a lot of people, and the world is still reeling from the many deaths of famous people whose talents we have enjoyed. I experienced this on a more personal level as well with the loss of my grandmother early on in the year. More than that though, I'd like to think I've learned a lot about myself this year. I've learned to be a better friend. (I hope.) I had a falling out with a friend early in the year. In my younger days, I would have responded in anger, and let that anger destroy our friendship completely. Instead, we still talk, albeit not as frequently as before, and I still care deeply for her and try my best to help her when I can. I still mourn the fact that a case of miscommunication led to the disagreement at all, but I'd like to th...

New Year, New Projects

Welcome to 2017, all! I recently saw a meme (that of course I can't find) about expectations for the new year. It went something like this: Anxious friend: What do you think 2017 will bring?   Optimistic friend: Flowers. I think it will bring flowers.  Anxious friend: How do you know? How can you be so sure? Optimistic friend: Because I'm planting flowers.  Just a little thought to remind us, that if you want things to get better, sometimes you have to put in a little bit of work and make it better ourselves. Me, I'd like a little less stress in 2017, which generally comes down to how well I've organized my life. To help with this, I've started a bullet journal, which seems to be working pretty well so far. It might just be an excuse to get to use pretty pens, but we'll see how it goes through the year. My latest writing project is centering around a book I got last year: 90 Days till Your Novel. Thus far, I've managed to get up every day before ...

Book Review: Trouble in Bookland

Trouble in Bookland: Part One by Marlene Simonette First of all, I would just like to say that I am honored to know this young and talented author personally. I met her last year through the NaNoWriMo forums and she is one of those with whom I have stayed in contact over the past several months. Her joie de vivre and vivid imagination are easy to see even in just how she interacts online, and are among the reasons I was looking forward to the release of her first book so much.  Trouble in Bookland  fulfills the dreams of so many authors and readers - it offers a place where writers and characters can interact in the world together. Thirteen-year-old author Linda is taken to this wonderful land for her birthday, and while she's there, adventure ensues, just as it should. While dealing with something from her past, Linda must grow as an author in order to defeat a villain that seems intent on destroying book worlds.  This is a fun little story (only took me aroun...
