I’m just going to come right out and say it: November is perhaps my least favorite month. It should be called Nothingvember, because it’s basically one big nothing sandwich, as far as I’m concerned. I know, I know. You think I’m being too hard on it, right? After all, November contains two federal holidays—Veteran’s DayContinueContinue reading “Monthly Mental Munchies: November 2019”

Make 2020 the Year of the Heirloom Novel
When the dust settles at the end of November, frantic and frenzied NaNoWriMo writers may be left to wonder: what’s the next challenge? Where do we go from here? Whether your NaNoWriMo manuscripts are destined for slush piles or hard drive hibernation, might I suggest pivoting to a low-stress project for 2020 that’s designed withContinueContinue reading “Make 2020 the Year of the Heirloom Novel”
Veterans Day–Yes, I Served!
Military service is a tough and thankless job that underpays and undervalues. Yet those who volunteer to become soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines don’t do it for the gratitude. And they certainly don’t do it for the pay. Well, not always. The reasons tens of thousands of our young people sign up for military serviceContinueContinue reading “Veterans Day–Yes, I Served!”

Monthly Mental Munchies: October 2019
Wait…what happened to October? One moment, I’m saying “Ah, I have the entire month to put out Halloween decorations.” And now, here it is the day before Halloween, and we have not a single witch or pumpkin in our house. Shameful. My spouse and I have also agreed to bail on the neighborhood trick-or-treating ritualContinueContinue reading “Monthly Mental Munchies: October 2019”
Welcome to Fall!
Welcome to Fall! If you’re in the northern hemisphere (and more specifically in the northern stretch of North America) I think you can safely pull out your scarves, sweaters, and tall leather boots, because I don’t see temps higher than the 70s in the extended forecast. More leaves cover the ground than they do theContinueContinue reading “Welcome to Fall!”
Monthly Mental Munchies: September 2019
September is a lovely month, but one that hangs on to the past as time drags it forward. Autumn is creeping in, teasing the world outside my window with dark, brisk mornings, long-sleeved arms, and dry brown leaves that skitter across the sidewalks. Yes, the trees are still full and green. The sky is stillContinueContinue reading “Monthly Mental Munchies: September 2019”
KMBM: Posters!
Posters—the wallpaper of our youth. Whether purchased in rolled tubes from the local Wal-Mart or liberated from the center of Tiger Beat magazine, attaching images of favorite bands, actors, and movies to bedroom walls with thumbtacks or scotch tape is a time-honored tradition. An impermanent rite of passage from adolescent to young adult, you mightContinueContinue reading “KMBM: Posters!”
The On-Fire/Burnout Cycle of a Writer
Summer is my hyperactive period for creative productivity. The sun and warmth fuel me, like I’m bathing in endorphins that my body synthesizes into pure motivation. This energy rush spurred me to take on multiple writing projects this past season, most of which I’ve completed or am in the process of wrapping up. I’m proudContinueContinue reading “The On-Fire/Burnout Cycle of a Writer”
Awful Poetry: We’ve All Gotta Start Somewhere
I recently came across my first “journal” while looking for an old photo in my memory trunk. I can’t recall exactly when I acquired the journal, but I *believe* it was a Christmas gift from a family member, given sometime during my elementary school years. Perhaps sixth grade. I’m approximating the time based on theContinueContinue reading “Awful Poetry: We’ve All Gotta Start Somewhere”
