Greetings from the road! I am once again traveling in order to clear and clutter my mind. While my end destination is Stanford in time for graduation, there’s a little bit i want to do between now and then. I’ve already spent almost a week in Portland, seeing old friends and making a couple of… Continue reading Fireworks in Portland and My Writing
I never buy things for myself. When I do, it’s usually a chocolate bar, a cup of tea, or a book. Everything I’ve bought for myself in the past two months falls into one of those categories, except for one day last month when I took myself out for froyo. That’s a little baffling, isn’t… Continue reading My Boyfriend Didn’t Believe I Actually Bought a Tablet
I think that getting a chance to explore your field through others who have already established themselves in it is the best way to move forward with your own goals in the area. I know that for me, other, older writers have been simply invaluable. Right now, I’m working on putting an application together for… Continue reading Other Writers and the Anderson Center
For as much time as I’ve spent noveling in other places and trying to keep pace with NaNoWriMo in California, I’ve actually only ever won NaNoWriMo in Kenmore (my Washington state hometown) and twice in Bellingham (the college town I lived in, 100 miles north of my hometown.) Needless to say, I’m heading home for… Continue reading Prepping for Home: Where Does Your Writing Live?
The infamous end-of-week-two strikes again. Ever since I got out of high school, I’ve found myself falling behind by the thirteenth of the month in NaNoWriMo. Goodness only knows why I should fall behind now that I have only fifteen hours of work a week, instead of a mandatory high-school attendance from 7-in-the-god-forsaken-morning until two-in-the-can’t-get-here-soon-enough-afternoon.… Continue reading Losing Ground on NaNoWriMo
Howdy! I’ve been gone a while because my life has been absolutely, totally, and bamboozlingly insane. My writing (and by extension, this blog) has been on the back burner of my mind since I’ve been looking for work. While I hope to find time to write a bit more about the specifics of what’s been… Continue reading The Worst Email Scam Ever
Watching the vast majority of my non-artsy, analytically minded friends go into computer-science and mathematics makes me jealous sometimes. In their field, there’s such a thing as a right answer. That’s attractive sometimes. As a girl who’d rather draft another two novels than spend a few months editing the one she has, I’m not too… Continue reading If a Novel Were a Math Problem
I thought I was going to get so much writing done this summer. I did manage to crank out a sixy-two page thesis that convinced my advising professor that I could have a future as a literary critic and send off a lot of (admittedly, rejected) query letters. Even still, summer always used to be… Continue reading You Have To Be Crazy: Summer Writing
I like to justify everything in my bubbling little literary career with the opinion that artists are all a little scattered brained and unreliable. I’m very reliable in all other facets of my life, but when it comes to my loyalty and dedication to myself, I’ve been known to have some responsibility-hiccups. I think we… Continue reading Responsibility-Hiccups
For Lyssa Norton, a GISHWHES 140-Word flash fiction up at my site: http://www.audreygreathouse.com/writing.html Mischa Collins was a gifted professional actor, something that was advantageous in his day-to-day life as well as his career. Even still, he could not hide the injured pain he felt when told that Castiel was being recast. On Her Magesty’s Royal… Continue reading GISHWHES 2014 Story
