In the last post, I wrote about diversity and how it’s not a dirty word. I also wrote about how it’s a part of me and not an affectation. I will say that it’s deliberate in that I choose to make the majority of my characters minorities. So, yes, in that case I’m doing it… Continue Reading
I’m back to write about writing one more time. In the last post, I veered into ranting about the state of the world right now and how anti-inclusive it currently is (especially in America). I have been fighting this fight for thirty goddamn years, and I’m so tired. I did not realize that electing a… Continue Reading
Back for yet another round of talking about writing a novel in November. Here is my post from yesterday in which I touched on the same topic. In rereading the last post, I realized that I didn’t write about writing at all. That’s hilarious, but so true to my heart. Jerks like to complain about… Continue Reading
Here’s the thing about writing a novel (at least for me). When I get an idea in my head that won’t leave, I know I need to write about it. Before my medical crisis, this was not an issue because what got stuck in my head was what I wanted to write about, anyway. Now,… Continue Reading
I’m back to write more about the novel I want to write this November. I tend not to make goals unless I am firm about meeting them because I don’t need to feel bad about anything more than I already do. I have the strong desire to write a novel this November. Or rather, to… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was writing about how I want to use November as novel-writing month once again. Even though NaNoWriMo is (deservedly) disbanded, I still think of November as the time to write a novel. I have not written a complete one since my medical crisis, so I’m going to give it my… Continue Reading
For quite some time, Novemember has been novel-writing month for me. I have done NaNoWriMo for over a decade, and in the latter years of doing it, I became a NaNoRebel instead because I was bored with the original premise (writing 50,000 words in the month). I’ll be honest–I can easily write 50,000 words in… Continue Reading
My brother may want to do travel vlogging, so I’ve been helping him (I do work for him). I’ve been looking at popular travel vloggers and seeing what theye had in common. I’m doing it for my brother, yes, but I’m also doing it for myself. I know that blogging is dead, and, hell, even… Continue Reading
I was talking in yesterday’s post about my writing. I would dearly love to be able to write fiction again, but it’s a struggle. The words still come fairly easily, but they are not catching fire like they used to. I have mentioned before how if my writing is going well, then there’s a sparkle… Continue Reading
I’m still reeling. I ‘m not the only person who is. The deep anger is bubbling, and I’m not sure what to do with it. Tangentially, I’ve had the longest writing drought (except for blog posts) that I’ve had in my life since I started writing–which was when I was seven. Back then, it was… Continue Reading
