In class this week we were thinking about what makes us the kind of writers we are. This was good timing because I've been thinking a lot lately about the writer I am, the writer I want to be, and the writer I will most likely end up being. All three are fairly different from … Continue reading Writing Influences
I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
I NEED TO STOP BUYING BOOKS! My suitcase is going to be so heavy by the end of the semester that the airplane won't even be able to lift off the runway. But this time I swear I have a good reason! (I know I always say that, but I always do, ok?) This evening … Continue reading I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
Through Cracks
It's possible I have over-extended myself. Between my job, running Writers' Society, working as a student representative, seeing friends, and running this blog, my university assignments have been falling through the cracks a bit. Why can't the days be longer? I don't have enough time for everything I want to do and unfortunately this means … Continue reading Through Cracks
Research and Eagerness
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

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
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
Home(s)
I should be used to this by now. In a way, I suppose I am. I know what and how much to pack. I know what tickets I need, the times to book for. I know where to go and who to talk to. I know how to do everything in such a way that … Continue reading Home(s)
What You Think
You may notice a couple of things that are new. Firstly, there is a countdown on the right side of my blog. It shows how many days are left before this blog is a year old. Crazy, isn't it? I've had this blog for almost a full year! Also, I got my first paycheck from … Continue reading What You Think

Get to Know the Writer
I did a tag thing and answered all the questions and was about to tag people at the very end when my internet decided to go kaput and I lost everything. Save. I am now saving everything I write as soon as I write it. Save. But I'll stop saying 'save' now because I can … Continue reading Get to Know the Writer
