Hey, how are you today? How was your week? Mine was a little wonky. Or at least, I felt a little wonky. We've had a few changes in our schedule lately and it's kinda messing around with us. Not to mention that I seem to have forgotten that although I LOVE spring and everything fe…

Hey! This week was all about taking the last step towards totally completing a novel adventure I began during NaNoWriMo 2016 .  When I had a blast writing a YA horror story featuring some of my most favourite horror tropes. A story I loved telling and then put aside for a while, …

So, another week is almost over. Yikes! And this time I went in with some goals. If you read last week's blog post , then you know that I wanted to tackle a few things this month. I like to break them down into weekly lists because it makes it easier to achieve. :) So, thi…

Yep. That's right. I got sick last weekend--after the mucus virus went through my daughter, then hubby--and am only now starting to shake it. I'm currently at the tail end of it, so I still have residual clogginess in my nose and chest, but feel worn out. Not as bad as I did …

Man, as far as trying to blog on a somewhat regular basis goes, last month was a bit of a bust. It just didn't work out like I planned.   Mostly it was because I felt like crap. I was tired most of the time and just didn't feel like sitting behind the computer for any long…

I was going to pop in yesterday but Monday didn't turn out like I expected. My daughter woke up feeling sick, so she stayed home from school. Good thing I didn't have any real plans--asides from blogging and reading--otherwise they would have been turned upside down.   In …

That's right.   I spent the last two days reading the PDF proof and emailed the small list of corrections to my editor yesterday. Yay.   Then this morning, I got a surprise in my Inbox: the final copies! OMG. I'm SO excited. I'm really looking forward to this book&…

I took this photo of Loki a few days ago. Isn't he gorgeous? :)   It was early in the morning and shortly after sunrise. He always tries to avoid the camera (I mean, phone) but I managed to snap this one a few seconds before he looked away. It's a very pretty pic of my …

I really have. :/   I think it's because of Twitter. Yeah, let's blame Twitter. LOL. I usually post there throughout the day and before I realise it, another day is done and I still haven't blogged.   Really need to change that, because I actually like to blog. It&…

I can't! Where has the year gone? Yikes. :/ As you can probably tell if you've dropped in during the last week, I've been catching up on some reading.   I've lost myself in a  bunch of new and familiar UF worlds, and even tackled a few classics. I actually finishe…

That's right! And I actually took the weekend off. Though I did listen to this novel's soundtrack heaps of times and thought about the story. A lot. ;)   Anyway, this is my total word count at the moment: 19,017.   I've been keeping to my daily word counts. I didn…

Excuse me. I'm not feeling 100% today. I've got a blocked nose and keep sneezing. Looks like it's my turn. Hubby and Daughter have already gone through it. :/ Anyway. Isn't this pic cute? It's another one made by my daughter on her iPad. She's really good at i…

the rain couldn't hold out for too long. It actually didn't rain at all yesterday. Though I can't remember if it did or not on Saturday because all of the rainy days are starting to blur into each other. O_o But this morning, it started up again while I was halfway throug…

This is how it was for most of the day yesterday. Actually, it was worse. We had torrential rain that lasted for so long the river nearby flooded. Our apartment block was okay, though the garage level downstairs was full of puddles. And I wasn't feeling very well. Whatever my hub…

Yeah, it does. Especially when for some reason, you start getting sharp, stabbing pains in your stomach shortly after dinner. Mind you, I ate the same thing as both hubby and daughter, but neither one of them was affected. Just lucky me. *insert sarcasm here* I think it might've…

Y'know how I've been feeling a little strange this week? Well, out of curiosity, I had a quick look at the past few years--here on my blog--and discovered that around this time of the year, I always seem to get gloomy for no real reason. Looks to me like it's a seasonal thing…

I'm over at Watch Out with Savannah Chase today . This interview was a lot of fun! I also got a new and great review for CHRISTMAS DAY OF THE DEAD from Horror Addicts . You can read it here . And don't forget that if you're interested, you can get a copy for 99c from Damn…

...I guess it's my turn to feel like crap. lol. *sneeze, wipe, cough, curse, and repeat*  That's okay. The weekend's just around the corner. And it looks like we'll be having a quiet one. Actually, asides from going for a daily walk, I'd like to do a lot of nothi…

I feel wonky. Not 100% and a little restless. It's nothing to worry about. It happens every now and then. It's just one of those things that comes with the territory, and as long as I ride it out, it'll be over soon. Anyway. I plan to take some more notes on that new ide…

You know, some days, finding the perfect picture to fit my mood is actually harder than getting the words out for a post. Strange. Very strange. Still, I'm glad that I found this pic. Today I wanted something a little dark. I've been feeling a little on the gloomy side since y…
