Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir by Cyndi Lauper My rating: 5 of 5 stars Cyndi Lauper is an artist that I loved when I was a kid. I never forgot the first time I heard/saw the music video for Girls Just Want to Have Fun , because I loved the catchy tune and cool video. I loved her style and how …

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've been meaning to read this for AGES! And I'm really glad that I finally decided to get stuck into it because I couldn't put it down. Well, what can I say about this fantastic book that hasn't a…

So. A new week is here. After a super busy weekend, which included lining up early in the morning for Free Comic Book Day , this week I've decided to tackle the third draft revision of my 1980s YA novel. Yep. And I started yesterday. I managed to revise 33/289 pages. That…

Wow! It's been a long while since I actually posted an actual update post on my blog. I'm pretty sure I haven't posted anything but book reviews since October. Yikes! Time sure goes fast.   Anyway, because it's almost the end of the year, I thought it was about tim…

This week has become a blur of words, trouble, and constant thinking about my current WIP. Yikes! It's totally consuming my mind. Which is actually a great thing. :) I love getting so wrapped up in a story that the characters constantly whisper inside my head, and new scenes, co…

...and it's also the last week of March. Yikes! Well. today I've taken time away from my writing/revising and instead spent it doing other stuff. You know how it is, sometimes you just gotta tackle real life stuff. I've also snuck in as much reading as I can. It's bee…

You guys already know about my fascination with 30STM , right? But I'm not sure if you know that I have a very similar fascination with MCR . There's just something about these two bands that gets my creative juices totally flowing! It's awesome. So when I drop my daughte…

I absolutely, effing love this: I can't wait to get my hands on their new album !

Seriously, where has this week gone? I think that taking this week off from most of my projects was a great idea. I mean, I've still been thinking about a bunch of them, added notes about some of them, and have been researching more info for M-YA (and its sequels) but mostly I'…

... and here, we have a progress meter: Yes, that's not a bad start. I think I wrote the first 600 words late last night, and picked it up again after my chat this morning, which was a lot of fun. :) I'd been toying with this idea for a few weeks. Of course, I've bee…

Well, yesterday was a bit of a bust. Though I did get a bunch of emailing and some blogging done. I had a specialist appointment yesterday. Yeah, that whole nose thing that I've been struggling with for about a year now. The good news is that there is no more inflammation. It…

The other day we got Hinder 's album - Extreme Behavior . Thanks for recommending it Samantha ! I finally had enough time to put it on today, and boy it's just my kind of music. I love it. Lips of an Angel and Better than Me are especially great. ;) I know this album's goi…
