A Semicomprehensive List of the Folk Music and Historical Figure/Event Easter Eggs in Molly From Hugo and Associated Acts–because I want to, shut up

Because I want to. Shut up. Yes, I know you weren’t talking. Don’t look at me like that. 😉 Hi. How are you? Good? Good. And yes, I know I missed a week. It was one of those ‘this post took so long to write that I actually missed not Monday, not Tuesday, but even […]

An Unromantic’s Attempt to Write Romance–Roasting and Ranking (most) All of the Couples I’ve written

Hullo friends! So last year a post landed on Valentine’s day; I wrote about some of my favorite fictional romantic couples, from the perspective of a non-romantic (which is what I am). Somehow, it’s my most viewed post of all time. 😐 So apparently you people enjoy when I torture myself (and you) with discussion […]

A Quick Change of Plans–Because This Tag Looked Too Fun For Me to Leave It Till Later

Tallyhi everybody! I know I said it would be either the second installment of ‘Folk for all folks’ (if you will) or an update post this week, but the fact of the matter is, my dear Sam has tagged me. And this tag looks insanely fun. So I’m going to do it, now rather than […]

Know the Novel Part Two: Within ‘And After That, The Dark’

Tallyhi, yis’ beauts. (To use the Colm Mcguinness terms. Erm, the latter bit. Tallyhi is a Grim only thing. I think.) I think the title is fairly self explanatory. And unfortunately, I haven’t much time to introduction and gallivant and all that, as I’m writing this in a stolen half hour on Sunday evening. So […]

In which I finally get to live out all my teenage writerly dreams–Know the Novel Part One

Okay, so as I’ve said before, I don’t do National Novel Writing Month anymore. (Also hi. How are you, ‘yis absolute beauts’, as Colm Mcguinness would say? I hope you’ve been doing splendidly. :)) So yeah, I don’t do NaNoWriMo anymore. But it–less the organization itself and more just the loveliness of writerly community and […]

Strange Trails–new delightful media discoveries and some bittersweet life discoveries into the bargain

Hello, my friends! I hope you’re well. I am managing. It’s been quite the week, to be honest. All my coworkers suddenly had health or family emergencies and had to dip out as a result, so I’ve been working ten hour days. I mean, I’m happy to do it, because of course they need to […]

God bless you in the meantime my friends, and I hope you enjoy these little bits and pieces by yours truly! Stillness A quiet moment, For poetry, not prose. A fickle evening rain Falls […]
