I got some new books recently. I always try not to buy books because at the end of the semester my luggage is always crazy heavy, but it's counter-intuitive for a writer. Books are a necessity and there's just something about owning one and not just having a library copy that makes things better. The … Continue reading Research and Eagerness
Writing for Fun
This morning I got an email saying my last two assignments from last semester were ready to be picked up. I got a little excited and went straight to collect them even though I was late for a meeting. It would have been embarrassing if my marks had been bad. Thankfully they were not. In … Continue reading Writing for Fun
Thoughts on Guilt
Yesterday I said I would be braver, so today I'm going to write about what scares me more than anything: my feelings. That was supposed to be funny. Things are never funny when I try to make them funny. It's a curse, really. I've been realizing more and more lately that there's a feeling sitting in … Continue reading Thoughts on Guilt
Braver
Today feels like the first day in a while that consisted of more than work and Criminal Minds. Last night I was trying to put together a simple cover letter that would be suitable to send to an agent when I finish one of my novels. It took longer than I thought it would. Hours. When … Continue reading Braver
(#21) Weeklies
Just because I'm busy all the time doesn't mean I don't still enjoy stuff. Here are this month's weeklies (because let's face it, these only ever happen every month anymore). Music: The perfect way to start off these 21st Weeklies is with a song from Twenty One Pilots, their most famous, Stressed Out. Suitable for a lot … Continue reading (#21) Weeklies
Nothing to Report
My last semester has been really busy. In between my job, classes, and studying, I've managed to find some spare time for socializing or working out. Still, I end each of my days the same: with an early bedtime. I love being busy, don't get me wrong. But often I'm too tired by the time I get … Continue reading Nothing to Report
Some Poetry #2
I don't actually write poems very often. In my first year I had a poetry class that I had to do a bunch for and I've been dropping them here and there since I first started this blog, so it seems like I write more than I do. This time, however, I have some poems … Continue reading Some Poetry #2
Miserable
I'm having a miserable day. Actually, it was quite a nice day. It was sunny, I saw friends, I had a cool class, and I hung out in the bookstore. But I've had a cold since last night and therefore feel miserable. You know when only one thing is making you miserable and then you … Continue reading Miserable
The Big Short
Disclaimer: The movie I just saw had a lot of swearing in it, so you can rest assured this post will, too. Well I'm scared to shit. I'm twenty-one years old. I still haven't completed my university degree. My subject of study is freakin' Creative Writing. I know fuck-all about Wall Street. So keep that … Continue reading The Big Short
Overview
I've been putting this off, the first post of the new year. I think I've been hoping that by putting it off I'd somehow make the days go by slower, but the opposite seems to be happening so I'm just going to write. 2016 is going to be a big year for me, I think. … Continue reading Overview
