On the left side of the sanity bell curve
When you write, you just DO IT. You write. You try to block everything out and do it. At least, you hope to do it. Not the sessay stuff. The writing! Eventually, with all this writing stuff, you’ll end up with nothing and you’ll be stuck and you’ll be wandering around the interwebs and wondering… Continue reading Let’s Give Some Love To K.M. Weiland
What? What?! If I want to post another trailer for another book-turned-movie, I can. Because I might be posting them on the same night. I might be, allegedly, not writing what I should be writing. This is the internet and it is magic. Maybe I’m more receptive to the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter trailer because… Continue reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer
Last night, as I was trolling around YouTube so I didn’t have to work on my book, I came across the teaser trailer for The Host. I read The Host just after it came out as I was coming down from my Twilight high. I didn’t hate the book. I didn’t love the book and… Continue reading The Host Official Teaser Trailer Thoughts
I meant to start this post several hours ago and then I got caught up in the third book of The Hunger Games series. If you haven’t read any of these books then you’re rolling your eyes at me right now and I don’t blame you. You can get The Hunger Games Trilogy [I get… Continue reading It Took Me Four Hours To Write 343 Words Because I’m Obsessed with Mockingjay and the ADD is Eating My Brain
I’ve made this a tradition on Taste Like Crazy. I’ve done it every year for…several years and if I was the counting type then I’d go back and look. Let’s just leave it at a “tradition” shall we? I write! I don’t count! This past year has been full of ups and downs but aren’t… Continue reading My Favorite Posts on Taste Like Crazy from 2011
Tucker and I have reached an impasse. He thinks old tech is old tech and that our kids aren’t missing anything by having not been exposed to ancient things like tapes, Playstations and printed dictionaries. I hold that it’s a sad day indeed when Cara asks what cassette tapes are and then gazes in awe… Continue reading Do You Embrace New Tech At the Expense of Old?
I’ve been trying to figure out why it’s taken me so long to write a follow-up post to the “Where Do I Go From Here?” post and I’ve come to a couple of conclusions. First and foremost is the fact that I knew I needed to respond to your comments and I just didn’t have… Continue reading Shoving At the Comfort Line
The whole thing started with me talking to Heather about something or other on Skype which led me to this post about awesome stuffed pork chops which then led me to this post about not cleaning up enough–shocker!–which then led me to this post about self-doubt and writing and all the fun stuff that comes… Continue reading Writers Are Like Power Ninjas!
I have entered no man’s land with regards to where I stand in the blogging world. And that’s awesome when you’re just blogging cause you want to write about what’s going on with your life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. BUT, when you’re wanting to gain some respect in MULTIPLE areas, it’s… Continue reading Where Do I Go From Here?
Night before last I spent about the entire night reading Room. I got so upset with the crying and snotting and all that I ended up in the bathroom with the exhaust fan running and the tissue stuffed over my mouth and nose. I didn’t want to wake up Tucker. I’m not completely done with… Continue reading A Book and a Video To Make You Cry
If you’ve picked up a book on writing then you’ve probably read about the horrors of plotting or how plotting is the one thing that shall save all writers till kingdom come. There are two schools of thought and they are so diametrically opposed it doesn’t seem you can be a fan of one without… Continue reading Muse vs Plotting: Who Wins in a Cage Fight?
When I write I listen to Pandora on my laptop; I listen to it so much that I had to buy a year subscription to it because I kept going over the allowed hours per week. The reason for all that music listening is it’s the only way I can halfway stay focused on what… Continue reading Music I’m Writing To Today
