New treasures can be found everyday if you’re willing to take the time to look
As you may or may not know, I am always on the lookout for other writers of fantasy, especially of either the feminist or woman-identified variety (or both). When I was voting on NPR Book’s Top 100 Science-Fiction, Fantasy Titles (which is a flawed list but that’s beside the point), I saw “The Inheritance Trilogy”…

Podcast Update: Episode 1 is LIVE
Well, I’ve finally done the first episode of my podcast. Unfortunately you can’t read it here, as I can’t currently afford the space upgrade necessary to upload audio posts. So I’ve created a Tumblr just for my podcasts, and you can find it here. I’ll post here each time there’s a new podcast uploaded, and…

Of Duct Tape and Spaniels: How to Express Four Years of Magic in a Single Letter?
I am trying to write a letter. Ironically it’s the hardest thing in the world for me to do — me, a writer. But this is no ordinary letter — it’s a letter to someone who may go down in history as the single most important influence in my life. Ms. Loudon was my drama…

Voting closed: results are…..(drumroll please)…….
[polldaddy poll=4622143] I’m apparently doing a podcast! Of course, I’d pretty much already made up my mind, but I did want to see how many of my readers would actually listen to a podcast or if it’d just be me circle-jerking to the sound of my own voice (and yes, I do hate the sound…

On Podcasts and disability
This should be said. I know that some of you are aware that I don’t listen to podcasts, but I’m thinking of doing one regardless. I feel I should be clear on this. I have an auditory processing deficit. This doesn’t mean I can’t hear — my physical ears work fine. It does mean that…

Just a thought: Movie Rants and Podcasts (and there’s a poll!)
I may start ranting about movies on this blog, as well as books and my own writing/writer’s life. Because I have a lot of rants about films and I may as well get them out here because they frequently overlap with my rants about books. Also: if I started doing a podcast that contained said…

.a small confession.
I spend a lot of my time wishing I was more creative. Or. Well. Wishing I could express my latent creativity with more ease. I see pictures in my mind and I can’t get them to form on paper. I draw stick people and my handwriting is crap. I create songs without words, but cannot…

30 in 30: Day 12 (in which I pick apart Anne McCaffrey’s “feminism” and tell you why ten year olds really should not read her books (or my posts, truthfully))
A book or series of books you’ve read more than five times Ugh. I really really really wish I could say The Black Jewels Trilogy for this one, but unfortunately I keep on losing my copy of that one and haven’t replaced enough times to have read it more than five times (I have read…

Oh, let’s get her started again, shall we?
Well, you can obviously tell this author is a student by the four-month stretches of no posting at all. It’s been a rather crazy few months. Shortly after my last post my Oma died, and then shortly after that school began. Between those things, two new relationships (one failed on account of him being a…
