I really, really, hate leaving things unfinished. It constantly nags at me that I have a novel sitting in a (virtual) drawer that I started to rewrite and then gave up on. I’m glad I did, or I never would have gotten around to writing Lies, and maybe I’ll go back to again someday but, […]
I know I haven’t been very good at consistently posting on this blog, and I blame a combination of real-life (school, debate, social life) and fake-life (writing) but I realized I had a decent batch of new book photos I hadn’t shared so I decided to bask in their glory; I mean post about them. […]
As my novel, Lies My Father Told Me, gets increasingly close to querying– my soft deadline was April and it’s looking totally reasonable– I decided to share some of the music that helped me write it. I have a very specific way of listening to music while I write, one I recently learned I’m not […]
Alright so I had a lot of fun with my first nail swatch/review of Hampstead Gardens by Nails Inc., and last week I picked up a brand new polish by Orly– well not brand new as in from a new collection, but brand new as in I just purchased it, so of course I decided […]
I really love nail polish. Like really. So inspired by my lovely friend Kylie (aka ChicBananas) I’ve decided I’m going to try my hand at swatching the colours that I wear, just to show them off and give anyone who is interested a reference for what the colours really look like. First up is one […]
It’s been a good but busy week! Work has been a lot of work, and I’m working on revising my novel some more (I’m at the halfway mark now, so hopefully it’ll be done this week). I also got accepted for a really awesome opportunity, but I don’t want to say anymore and jinx it. […]
When I made my recent, “Happy things with which to end the week” post, there was something(s) very important I forgot to include. I’d say I forgot them on purpose, in order to dedicate an entire post to them, but the truth is I was so excited about them, I brought them to work right […]
Remember that post last week where I talked about my amazing poutine? Turned out I was back at the mall on Sunday, shopping with a friend who needed an interview outfit, and managed to get it again. Yum. But that has definitely satisfied my poutine craving for the next couple months I think. Unless I […]
Maybe using “friends” in the title of this post is over-stating it. I’m actually not a cat person at all, although the hives they give me make me think the feeling’s mutual. But this was definitely one of the most adorable sights I saw while traveling, right after arriving at my hostel in Istanbul on […]
I recently stumbled across fantasy writer Darci Cole’s blog, just as she celebrates 100 followers with an awesome flash fiction contest. I’m definitely not experienced with flash fiction, but I thought it would be fun to try a little piece in verse, especially considering the awesome critique prizes! The contest guidelines, found here, require that […]
