So if you’re new here, you’re probably wondering what this blog is about. Good question. Sometimes I didn’t even know. It’s gone through a lot of renditions and focuses over the year, mostly because every time my life shifts, what I focus on shifts too, and for that matter what I have time for changes. …
Catching Up vs Chasing
Sometimes It takes a while to catch up. Although I think I’m always in that state. At some point I think becomes more chasing what you want to be rather than catching up from where you were. I think Chasing is better. It propels you forward. Catching up means you still stuck where you were. …
Figuring things out

So, I read book reviews in a very strange way. First of all, if the book is already on my TBR list, I won’t read the review. There is something enjoyable about walking into an unknown story and becoming best friends with the characters by the end. So even if a review has no spoilers, …

Let’s Talk 2015 Challenges
For some reason unknown to my sanity, I have decided to participate in 14 blogging challenges this year. I obviously have a competitive problem, but I didn’t try for high levels in the challenges, so hopefully they won’t stress me out.

Let’s Talk: 2014 End of the Year Survey
Perpetual Page Turner is hosting this end of the year review So as I looked back on the year, obviously I looked at my books, and I have a pretty pathetic take on books. Most of the books I read were done after I started my book blog, which makes me realize how terrible my reading …
NaNoWriMo 2014
This year I participated in National Novel Writing Month otherwise known as NaNoWriMo, and I won. For the first time, I succeeded at writing 50,000 words of a novel in one Month. Yes, it is as crazy as it sounds, and there were moments that I didn’t think I would have any ideas, and even some moments …
