    Writing is an Act of Faith

    TLDR: in which I do some somewhat philosophical ramblings about writing, because it's late, it's been a tough week, and I just need to get some words out. The power of the stream-of-consciousness essay should not be understated, even if it's completely counter to the premise of an essay.


    I've long held that writing is an act of faith, if not the product of it.

    What We Talk About When We Talk About Writing - A Small Update

    (At this point, maybe every blog will have a title referencing some literary work, for funsies)

    Hi, everyone! I thought I'd drop by with a quick update as to what I've been working on. Nothing too fancy - I'm not good at making a blog look like that - but I figure this might interest some of you.

    Where I'm Calling From

    Introduction: A Confession

    I lied. 

    Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It would be more accurate to say that I opted for a partial truth. In the words of Carlos Ruiz Zafon, “Perhaps, as always, a lie was what would most resemble the truth”1—and in this fashion, I did lie.

    Going to a con might have been just what I needed...

    ... to get back into the fanfic writing game.

    I might totally be jinxing it by talking about it here, but I also think me saying it at all holds me to it, in a way.

    Or maybe I'm just superstitious. Many writers are. :P

Announcement: I will be at Everfree Northwest! · 5:27pm Jul 8th, 2023

Not holding a panel, unfortunately, but it's still pretty exciting! This is going to be my very first con and my first flight out of my state on my own. I'm going with a couple of people from EoJ - so this'll also be the first time I'm meeting any of them in person!

I'm nervous even though everything's booked - got my hotel, flight, 3-day badge, the works, aaaaghhhh

Congratulations! Hope to meet during the convention. I’m sure you’ll have a terrific time. Everfree is a wonderful convention where most of the writers attend. Be sure to stop by Twilight’s Book Nook in the vendor hall.

Thank you! It'd be quite a thing to meet some of the people I've met and talked to on this site at various times. I'm trying to gather a full itinerary of the convention's schedule and the vendor hall is definitely on my to-do list!
