I have to say, this week has been the worst I’ve had since I got mono last year. I’ve just been straight up sick and uncomfortable. Consequently I’m running a little bit behind on everything…including the blog post I’ve been meaning to write (no spoilers) about my latest book obsession: Mechanica. I first heard about… Continue reading Book Thoughts: Mechanica
Well, it finally happened. After six years of querying, hundreds of rejections, and three different novels, I managed to convince someone I should be published. I had a lot of interest in The Neverland Wars from a variety of small publishers on #Pit2Pub day, a Twitter event about a month ago that allowed authors to… Continue reading Audrey Lands a Book Deal
So I’ve been talking a lot about my novel “The Neverland Wars,” but it’s been a while since I straight up explained it, and I woke up excited about my project so lemme tell you… The Neverland Wars is a modern-day continuation of the Peter Pan story, it holds to J.M. Barrie’s story as tightly… Continue reading The Neverland Wars
I woke up at 6:30 this morning with a burning desire to get up and start playing, like it was Christmas morning or something. What’s crazy is, as excited as I am for today, the only thing I’m going to be doing is working on my senior thesis. A literary research paper. That’s what inspired… Continue reading Absurdism in Children’s Literature, Joy in my Thesis
With anxious, graceful steps, Susanne Dubois walked to the mirror in the hallway. She fidgeted with her hair as she paced, holding it in place with one hand while she attempted to reposition her bobby pins with the other. She had not pinned it well enough initially, and now she could feel her hair gradually… Continue reading Mirror: A Flash Fiction
I remember when I first learned that it was a “playwright” not a “playwrite.” You’re not someone who writes a play, you’re someone who builds a play. That absolutely astonished me. It gave so much more power to the writer. At the end of the day it’s just words on a page, but the writer… Continue reading The Dreamwright
HE’S EVEN GOT BOOKS STACKED ON THE CHAIR. I want. I want with a burning, passionate, delirious desire. Right now, I’ve only got about 20 feet of books…so maybe I could possibly fill up half of one of his rows. Plus I haven’t even read all of mine. Neil Gaiman is so well-read it’s baffling.… Continue reading Neil Gaiman’s Personal Library.
I’ve been putting off announcing this for a while because I wanted to wait until we had a release date, and now I think we do. It’s still pending approval from the CEO, but my agent and I are both lobbying for and making a dang good case for why The Crystalline Princess should be… Continue reading The Crystalline Princess: A Fairy Tale for Grownups
You know NaNoWriMo’s over when you’re not sure of anything anymore, but people are handing you hot chocolate and telling you it’s going to be okay now that it’s December. I feel like WriMos should have their own campaign: It Gets Better (in December) As always, I’ve finished my 50,000 words, and as usual, I… Continue reading NaNoWriMo’s End
It’s really quite nice (amid all the hectic crazy insanity of trying to produce my first professional ebook) to just WRITE. It’s so hard to find time for writing when every other aspect of your life has been tethered to deadlines and due dates. That’s why NaNoWriMo is such a blessing. It makes you step… Continue reading NaNoWriMo
