NaNo, Photos, and Books

One more day to NaNoWriMo!!! Am I scared, you ask? Why yes, yes I am. Terrified that I am going to sit in front of my keyboard and have absolutely  nothing to say. But I’ve won NaNo twice in a row now, and I am determined to make it a third! And if there isContinueContinue reading “NaNo, Photos, and Books”

Careers and Relaxation

Since my last post (other than the awesome NaNoToons I just shared) was all down-in-the-dumps-self-pity, I figured I should give you guys an update sooner than I usually do. After a semi-good nights sleep, I felt worlds better the following day. But, my husband being the darling person he is and generally able to tellContinueContinue reading “Careers and Relaxation”

2016 – October 19th — Nanotoons

Things are squirrely in web world, by the way. I know when people navigate to NaNoToons.net they get errors. I have a support ticket in with WordPress about that. Sorry for all the technical grief. And thanks for answering my question about how you read the webcomic! It’s very helpful! In the meantime, I was […]ContinueContinue reading “2016 – October 19th — Nanotoons”

Emotional Musings (or really, just whining)

First and foremost, for an ever-so-brief update about Ethrill, you can see Once Upon a Story. Yes, I am purposefully directing you there to try and increase foot (view?) traffic in my attempt to get serious about online presence. 😛 It’s been an interesting week – or two. I am back at work. I can’t rememberContinueContinue reading “Emotional Musings (or really, just whining)”

How To Really Get To Know Your Characters! #MondayBlogs #AmWriting — BlondeWriteMore

Great article from BlondeWriteMore- I think this will be very helpful for me in the future.  Especially with Picture of the Past – I love the story, but have a hard time connecting with my own main character.

The Truth of People Pleasing

WHAT? Two posts in a row?? I know – I know, you think the world is coming to an end.  But have no fear! It is only that I am at work, but have little to do (right now at least) and wanted to talk about something that I experienced yesterday but wasn’t ready toContinueContinue reading “The Truth of People Pleasing”

Hats and Printers

So, I’ve already told all my friends, and my mom, and Facebook about this, so I won’t spend too much time on it – but I wore a hat to church today! Technically called a fascinator these days, because you know, they feel like they have to sell it under another name to actually sell itContinueContinue reading “Hats and Printers”

Rant: Training a Husband

So, I have the day off today, for which I am every so grateful. It was pretty much worth the hours upon hours of work for the Full-Scale Exercise my team did last week if it resulted in a couple days off without using PTO. And I fully intend to use today to write forContinueContinue reading “Rant: Training a Husband”

The Need for Silence

First things first – head over to my other blog (http://storyidyls.blogspot.com/) and check out my most recent post on fear of failure! Because you all know that is my favorite subject, so I couldn’t resist posting about it on there too and am currently working hard not to regret it. Second things second: I loveContinueContinue reading “The Need for Silence”
