I've been quite absent here the past week or so. Last week was a total madhouse of things going on with the holiday season. The week before Christmas is the final and worst Hell Week when you work retail. Since I had my own things I had to finish to be ready for the holiday … Continue reading Reflecting On 2016

Four More Days
Just four more... Four more days of holiday madness and it's finally over. (Technically three since I'm off tomorrow, although I won't be able to just chill, so yeah, four more.) I'm so ready for this season to be over, I'm exhausted. Then again, as soon as this one ends I have to deal with … Continue reading Four More Days
Rearing Plot Bunnies
It's been an interesting couple of days. Not just with work and life, but with writing as well. My mind has been quite brain dead lately thanks to the holiday madness and the fact I think I burned out slightly after NaNoWriMo. I haven't been writing because I've both been so busy and exhausted due to those … Continue reading Rearing Plot Bunnies
An Introvert’s Nightmare
So I realized about half way through my day on Saturday that I completely and totally forgot I was supposed to write a blog post on Friday. I was exhausted by the time I got home from work that night and at that point everything just slipped my mind. I think I was actually in … Continue reading An Introvert’s Nightmare
Sort Of Goals, Holiday Madness, and NaNo Down Spiral
So for awhile I totally forgot it was Tuesday and that I needed a blog post. It doesn't feel like Tuesday to me. The worst part is I had no idea what I was even going to write about, and honestly, I still don't really know so this could be a very well bullshitted blog post … Continue reading Sort Of Goals, Holiday Madness, and NaNo Down Spiral
Win Like A Warrior
Well, I did it. 30 days, 50,157 words after validating (50,177 words according to my Word doc), 118 pages, and 8 chapters. My first big November win is in the bag. I thought I wasn't going to make it a few times, thought of giving up a few times too. I prevailed and pushed through … Continue reading Win Like A Warrior
The Final Stretch
We're in the final stretch of NaNoWriMo now. Just a week left. (I'm not counting today because it's nearly over now.) Are you panicking yet? I'm not, surprisingly. Not really at least. I am a little bit because I work the rest of this week -- yes, including Thanksgiving, retail sucks -- and I don't know … Continue reading The Final Stretch
Finding My Way
I am really sucking at writing on the days I work this month. I think there's been a total of maybe four days I worked that I also managed to write. You know the sad part to that? They were during the first week of NaNo when I was so exhausted off my ass that … Continue reading Finding My Way
Funks, Sprints, and Revelations
Before I even dive into my ramblings, I'm going to start with this... I know, I know. I missed Friday's blog post. Shame on me. *Slaps hand* I have a reason for it. While I may not be able to say it's a particularly valid reason, I do have a reason. To anyone who read … Continue reading Funks, Sprints, and Revelations
