If you read my backlog

So if you’re new here, you’re probably wondering what this blog is about. Good question. Sometimes I didn’t even know. It’s gone through a lot of renditions and focuses over the year, mostly because every time my life shifts, what I focus on shifts too, and for that matter what I have time for changes. …

Catching Up vs Chasing

Sometimes It takes a while to catch up. Although I think I’m always in that state. At some point I think becomes more chasing what you want to be rather than catching up from where you were. I think Chasing is better. It propels you forward. Catching up means you still stuck where you were. …

Figuring things out

Obviously if there’s a coffee shop, I make …

Let’s Talk: Book Reviews

So, I read book reviews in a very strange way. First of all, if the book is already on my TBR list, I won’t read the review.  There is something enjoyable about walking into an unknown story and becoming best friends with the characters by the end.  So even if a review has no spoilers, …

Let’s Talk: 2014 End of the Year Survey

 Perpetual Page Turner is hosting this end of the year review So as I looked back on the year, obviously I looked at my books, and I have a pretty pathetic take on books.  Most of the books I read were done after I started my book blog, which makes me realize how terrible my reading …

NaNoWriMo 2014

This year I participated in National Novel Writing Month otherwise known as NaNoWriMo, and I won.  For the first time, I succeeded at writing 50,000 words of a novel in one Month.  Yes, it is as crazy as it sounds, and there were moments that I didn’t think I would have any ideas, and even some moments …
