Chrysanthemum
current wordcount: 45,675
last week: 43,263
satisfied?: +2412 Yes! Still could do better, but considering that I wrote almost nothing last week/month, this is a major improvement.
comments: I’m rearranging some things and I think everything’s working a LOT better. I’ve switched the location of two major plot points. Crazy times!
This upcoming week is probably not going [...]

currently writing

Lookame go!
*typetypetype*
Anyway.
I desperately need to clean my room, but I know I would just use that as an excuse later for not having written, so I am leaving my room a disaster and writing instead. I am the queen of excuses, so I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. Yeah we’ll see how that [...]

Michael Jackson!

The rumors are flying. TMZ and NBC say he’s dead. CNN says he’s in a coma.
EDIT: the AP is confirming his death now.
He went crazy in his later life, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was a musical genius. Here’s you to you, MJ.
One of my favorite songs:

(youtube won’t [...]

who’s surprised, really?

Hahahahahahaha
If I only had a dollar for every time I said I was going to do something and then failed miserably at following through. If only.
Remember SF/F Writers Day? And how I was going to do something? You may have noticed that I didn’t. I’m only a day late, I could pull something together, but… [...]

stargirl update

You may perhaps remember Stargirl from the other day. The girl who “fell asleep” and got 56 stars tattooed on her face instead of the 3 she wanted.

Turns out—now hold onto your hats, my dears—she was lying!!!!
Shocking, right?
She’s admitted that the artist’s story was right all along. She did in fact get exactly what she [...]

down the rabbit hole

Aptly timed, that last post about Alice and Wonderland. Seems the first legit pictures of the movie have just been released, and omg. Tim Burton is doing it again. Love it.
So, here is the photo gallery that is currently making the rounds of the internet.

So apparently this is old news.
But Tim Burton is making Alice in Wonderland.
With like 50 of my favorite actors.
*dies*

The usual suspects are in it—Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen)—but also starring are Timothy Spall, Alan Fucking Rickman (Caterpillar!), Stephen Fucking Fry (Cheshire Cat), Christopher Fucking Lee (the Jabberwock), and Michael Sheen (<3). Anne [...]

This post is part of my “blog cleanup” series and was originally posted at the last Gracetopia, on blogger. I’ve edited a bit and added an addendum to the bottom. Bon appetit.

deja vu all over again

So I am just going to apologize in advance. To everyone.
I’m having knee problems again. (see previous post about how I was playing a video game…) And once again nothing seems to be wrong—aside from, you know, the massive amounts of pain and the fact that my leg won’t straighten. So I’m going to find [...]

Announcing: SF/F Writers Day!

Sci-fi author Sharon Lee has declared next Tuesday, June 23, the First Annual Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day.
I am extremely into this idea, so here I go spreading the word. I mean, why not? Administrative Assistants get a day. Why not SF/F writers? (def stole that comparison from S. Lee.) And we can always [...]
