"Gesundheit!" you say? WRONG. I did not sneeze. Jolabokaflod, the word that has been circulating the web is the Icelandic tradition translated as "the Christmas Book Flood." What is the phenom? It is GLORIOUS! On Christmas Eve, people give each other BOOKS! Squeee! So, I may or may not have bought a bunch of books for… Continue reading Jolabokaflod

It seems to happen every year: I get ahead, and then by day seven, the words just aren't coming. I am… Continue reading Progress
The Art of the Start
^Behold the playlist. I started! I started! I started writing The S.A.P.I.E.N. Complex! Eh, it's a working title...maybe. Could go by another title, but it would be somewhat of a spoiler, and you know how I hate spoilers. ANYWAY... Sometimes, you've just gotta be happy about the small things. Hey, I can't finish the novel… Continue reading The Art of the Start
