It’s Been a While

I haven’t been to my hometown since the Summer before the pandemic hit and shutdowns began. The way there, though a bit changed, was still as familiar as ever. We had a really slow and relaxing morning. Took our time waking up, getting ready. The kids are pretty practiced with long rides and it wasContinue reading “It’s Been a While”

Never Mind

I’m starting with book number three. I had tried to reread these books a while back, but I got distracted. What’s new? As I tried reading the Laughing Corpse, most of the story came flooding back. I skimmed through to catch some forgotten pieces and moved on to The Lunatic Cafe. This is feeling lessContinue reading “Never Mind”

Book Moods

I was going to just keep reading the Fever series for Summer. I love Mac and Barrons and getting them out of my head was not happening. Well, the sixth book is from Dani’s perspective and I’m just not as captivated by her. I’ll read it eventually. It’s very good. I’m just not in theContinue reading “Book Moods”

Late Morning Coffee Thoughts

I have always loved sociology, I just never knew that’s what it was called until college. Then I realized it’s the one interest at the core of all my other loves. Linguistics, literature, psychology, sexuality, economics, history, anthropology, … all of them are through the lens of how and why we construct our social structures.Continue reading “Late Morning Coffee Thoughts”

It’s Done

It took a couple (obsessive) days, but I finished rereading the first five books in the Fever series. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get to the rest. I’m satisfied. I remembered the story ending happily. Not in a forced, or cheesy way, but properly. I just couldn’t remember how. It was agony having toContinue reading “It’s Done”

I Wasn’t Gonna, But I Did

I was going to take a break and just focus on writing. I mean, I finally finished the castle floor plans last night and can move past that block. But this series just keeps nagging at my thoughts. It’s been a ride. I’m tired. I’m worn out. I’m screaming hopelessly into the void with Mac.Continue reading “I Wasn’t Gonna, But I Did”

Easily Distracted

I’m beginning to remember why I stopped reading these books. Don’t get me wrong. I love them, but it gets so tedious at this point in the story. It’s all necessary bits, and done very well, which is why I struggle reading it. I’m trying to speed through. The one I was trying to finishContinue reading “Easily Distracted”

To Read, or to Write?

I’m finally getting into actually writing the first draft of my gothic fairytale. I’ve done enough research, backstory writing, and outlining to begin the tale and have gotten a few pages done. It feels good. But, I’ve got two books checked out of the library from one of those series I want to finish andContinue reading “To Read, or to Write?”

Guess I’ll Do Some Reading

This seems to be happening a lot this Summer. Well, more than I’m used to, anyway. I had another client cancel last minute, so I find myself with some time to fill. I went and got a coffee that’s iced, frothed with steam, and actually has cinnamon and spice (cayenne) in it. It is myContinue reading “Guess I’ll Do Some Reading”

My Novel is Alive

I was trying to focus on the novel I started in high school, but noooo, this fairytale retold kept horning in on my thoughts. I tried to start writing it, but noooo, I needed to do historical research on many subjects. Then I had to write up an outline of each main characters’ backstory. GetContinue reading “My Novel is Alive”
