we're all mad here
We are a little over halfway through the year, and I’m having a bit of a struggle this summer coming up with topics as I prepare for my usual autumn craziness, so I thought this might be a fun opportunity to shout about some middle grades. I read quite a few of them during the […]

I haven’t written a brand new story in over a year. Truthfully, for the past two years, I’ve mostly been working on the same story. I took a little break in between to write a standalone contemporary about two best friends falling in love in a bookstore, which I promise you’ll get to read someday, […]

I realize I’m a bit behind the times here as the second season of Lost in Space premiered in January (is that a fact?), but I’m hella slow at watching shows, so I just finished it the other day. I was also just kind of going to quietly go about my way, crying about John […]

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic for TTT is one of my favorites. I wrote a post a million years ago about my auto-buy authors, and while I could go scroll pack in my posts to try to find it, I’m not because that would take forever, so let’s consider this a kind of […]

Is the fact that I’ve been avoiding writing this particular post in the #marywrites series indicative of the subject? YES. 50% of this meme is me wanting to shout about LOTR because I saw someone with the most badass Witch-king tattoo the other day, but I was too busy gaping in awe at it to […]

Unholy Satan, this is such a long wrap-up post, I am actually a little sorry. Like, this is bananas. It goes on forever. I did a lot of all of the things this month, and though it started out pretty rough, plus stayed that way for a while, the end has given me a lot […]

Character Spotlights were a weekly Wednesday series where I used to talk about characters from the novels I was working on or had already completed, but they kind of fell by the wayside, as these things do sometimes. I’m not actually bringing them back weekly, but I’d like to bring them back semi-regularly because they were a […]
