Apologies for the somewhat depressing nature of this post, but I need a place to vent and express my thoughts, and this blog is it. Ironically though, the blog is one of the things I need to vent about. I know I’m only a couple weeks into blogging again, but I’m already starting to feel […]
I am not a big rereader. In fact, I can only think of a single book I reread that wasn’t part of a series (I tend to only reread series books because I forget the last book before the next one comes out), and that was Elie Weisel’s Night, which I had to read three times […]
The first time I really committed to a NaNoWriMo-related event was the spring of 2016. I had wanted to do real NaNo for many years, but always chickened out at the last minute (okay, maybe way before the last minute). However, when I decided to do Camp NaNo two years ago, I actually made my […]

Hello internet, it’s me again! Gosh, that could be the title of a YA book, like an updated, 2018 version of Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret. Or maybe I’m just being silly. Anyway. This is not my first go-around with blogging. Though this may be a new blog, I am by no means a […]
