April 1891
To Arthur Conan Doyle
Between me and life there is a mist of words always. I throw probability out of the window for the sake of a phrase, and the chance of an epigram makes me desert truth. Still I do aim at making a work of art, and I am really delighted that you [...]

So I just saw this trailer on ABC (in the middle of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! for those of you who are interested). And I am kind of ridiculously excited, all things considered. All things being that it’s an ABC Christmas special and I’m an adult.

So I was born with a superpower.
I never get lost.
That’s right. You have no idea how awesome this is. I always know which way is north (although sometimes I have a few moments of frightening disorientation when I come out of a subway) and even if I don’t know what streets are doing I can [...]

(scroll down about 3 posts for the book giveaway!)
So I kind of adore Orhan Pamuk. He’s last year’s Nobel Literature Prize winner and the author of Snow and Museum of Innocence, among other books, none of which I have read. But I’d heard that he gives good talks, and I like listening to authors talk [...]

Hello! Today Gracetopia is blogging at you LIVE from the Boston Book Festival. It’s the first one, which is kind of shocking; you’d think Boston’s Book Fest would be old and established since the city always goes on about how old and historical and established it is. Oh well.
It’s fantastic, even [...]

Because they asked nicely and because their site is legit awesome, I’d like to point you all over to a new blog/community for young writers, Lit Drift. They give away free books every Friday! So I approve. And when they’re not doing that, “Lit Drift is a blog, resource, and community dedicated to the art [...]

So sometimes I do this thing where I don’t pay attention and accidentally buy two of the same book from amazon. Like, I click it twice or something. And if I were paying attention when I hit “Submit Order” I would notice the 2 next to the book, but yeah, I don’t.
So anyway, now I [...]

I didn’t do a Wilde Wednesday post yesterday. So shoot me. I was trying not to throw up.
Anyway. First post from the new netbook! omg I love this thing so. It weighs about an ounce. Like a shot. It’s a shot of internet. I am so happy.
So yeah. I feel like shit because I’m pretty [...]
writing what?
Posted in writing, tagged update, writing on October 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Well, today’s update is that I am 3708 words into a brand-spanking new story. Yes, I know I shouldn’t. But I’m going to fake NaNo it—fake because I’ve already started—and I’ll write hardcore between now and November 30 and then stop and see what I have. I figure it’ll be easier to just power through [...]
Happy 155th!!
