Homemade Calendar – November
Ok, I admit it: It’s become more about the art than crossing off the days. Which is great for getting in a minimum of one art project a month, but not for observing the date. I think next year I’ll go with a more practical calendar. December is always a variable time of year– lots…

Homemade Calendar – October
Here is October! November will include more revising, more planning the next project, and a couple little side things for fun. Also, though I’m not doing Nanowrimo myself this year, I plan to attend some write-ins and keep posting #nanowritetips each day on Twitter and Tumblr. What will you be doing this month?

What are you doing for your writing?

Since I started striking out on the path I’ve realized just how much work is ahead of me: finding an agent. Making myself appealing to an agent (writing short stories, getting short stories published, building a platform, etc.). Finding…

I signed up for a French class!
Good-bye, you namby-pamby, half-assed studies! Farewell, ye sporadic notes and vocab lists! Adieu, Monsieur All-I-Know-Is-Present-Tense, And-Even-Then-Only-Seven-Verbs! Hellooooooo structure, you beautiful fox, you. Thank you, thank you. Merci, if you will. So, I just signed up for my first ever French class. To most people, this is probably not the most exciting news. In fact, most…
