You might remember me telling you about my recent terrible horrible no-good very-bad day. And it all started with a broken mug, which the chai latte warned me about but I didn't take heed. (Yes, chai lattes talk to me. Don't they speak to you?) Question: What is better than something that warns of… Continue reading Something better than a chai latte
Last week I shared the survey results for my quirky meta murder mystery book title. Maybe you want feedback but there's no way you'll hear from 50 people on a survey like I did (I asked thousands of people for that help.) But I wanted to share that I already thought I knew how the… Continue reading A little feedback can go a long way
Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with politics. Let's not go there 🙂 If you don't follow me on other social media, you missed out on a survey to vote on the title of my short story. (I'm sorry, I actually planned on posting it here, because you're some of my greatest fans, but I… Continue reading The book title that got the least votes, but wins
I've been promoted from superhero seamstress to superhero! I just had to share how fun the Superman Festival in Metropolis, IL is. It's a smalltown affair, but they have a large variety of yummilicious food carts, oodles of superhero collectibles, a myriad of costumed characters, and of course the Superman Museum where I took this picture… Continue reading We could be heroes just for one day
It takes very little to incapacitate me - about 3 minor inconveniences, sometimes 2. But I have my liquid calm, and it's not alcohol and it's not coffee: If you see me holding a chai, you can bet I'm in a situation prone to panic attack. Crowds or stressful days or interacting with strangers. I… Continue reading Trust the chai tea latte…
Plan A was to write this blogpost about Plan B. Then my boyfriend said, "Not like going to the pharmacy for Plan B?" and then Plan B was to preface this blogpost with this paragraph. No, it has nothing to do with pharmacy plan B! Okay, now that we've got that cleared up..... Plan A was… Continue reading The blehhhhhhh of plan B
Some of you have been following my writerly dream for a long time. Some of you are just now introduced to me (hi, I'm Amy, nice to meet you lovelies). There was the time I finally admitted to the Facebook world that I want to be an author, and then shortly after that I got… Continue reading The first paid gig
I've been inducted into the Outcasts Bloghouse and dubbed the Guardian of Ever After. No cool kids allowed! Also, I'm pretty sure this is our theme song: Or is it this one: We'll have to create a soundtrack 🙂 Join the adventure and expect crazy mad times in the treehouse...we'll be Pan & Tink & Swiss Family Robinson… Continue reading The “Guardian of Ever After” for the Outcasts
in my book. I should probably clarify that. But isn't that a beautiful blogpost title? 😉 I finished the first draft of my quirky meta murder mystery! Honestly, it happened so fast. I thought I'd be agonizing over the last couple scenes for days. And I just whipped them out and suddenly that was the… Continue reading I murdered for you & I’m not okay
Julia. I have neglected Julia far too long and she’s appearing everywhere. Haunting me in the people I meet, the clothes I wear, the stories I hear. It’s funny how the pieces of a person just fall into your lap when you’re busy attending to other things. It started with Julia. No, not… Continue reading When a character stalks an author…
