Read more about the article Beautiful People – Favorites Edition {And the FINAL Beautiful People!}

My absolutely favorite blog linkup is ENDING. And I’m a blubbering ball of sadness. *cue the waterworks* I’m sure most of you know about Beautiful People—a linkup hosted by Sky @ Further Up and Further In and Cait @ Paperfury, in which each month they ask questions for us to answer about our story characters. Talking about my characters (or, ya know, ANY fictional characters) is my favoritest thing on this earth, so naturally I was alllll about this linkup! And GUYS, I’ve been doing it since my first year of blogging. Since before Cait was one of the hosts and…

Beautiful Books – How’s the Writing Going? {NaNoWriMo 2017}

We’re nearing the end of Week Two of NaNoWriMo, guys! WHICH MEANS WE’RE ALMOST HALFWAY THERE. My second week of NaNo was slightly less crazy than the first. I only had work one day this week, I got to spend a lot of time at home just purely focusing on writing, I didn’t have to battle any monstrous spiders (thank goodness), annnnnd Friday night I got to see THOR: RAGNAROK AND I 10000000% RECOMMEND IT FOR ALL MARVEL FANS. IT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS, EPIC MOVIE I’VE EVER SEEN. It is officially one of my top favorite Marvel movies. Which…

Beautiful Books – The Nether Isle {NaNoWriMo 2017}

Today is the day you have ALL been waiting for. And by that I mean…probably none of you have been waiting for. But, like, let’s all just pretend? Yes? YES. So what even is today about??? *drumrollll* I’M TELLING YOU ALL ABOUT MY NANOWRIMO ‘17 NOVEL!!! FINALLY. Here two days before NaNo. Took me long enough. Sheesh. (But can we also pretend NaNo is not the day after tomorrow for the sake of my sanity? K. Thaaanks!) This NaNo is going to be wildly different from all the past 7 NaNos I’ve participated in. As I’m sure you alllll know…

Beautiful People – Larke {August 2017}

  Visit Sky @ Further Up and Further In or Cait @ Paperfury to join the BP linkup! Guess what I’m doing today? No, really, guess. I now it’s sooo hard to tell. It’s not like the post title and giant banner there gives anything away. You’re stumped, aren’t you? All right, I’ll tell you. I’m doing… BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. Aren’t you surprised???? And today I’m excited because I’ve chosen the ever mischievous and snarky fae boy Larke from my Beauty and the Beast retelling, Burning Thorns. (It just hit me…Larke the Snark!!! XD Ahem…sorry.) The last time I did a…

Beautiful People – All About ME!!! *cue scary music* {July 2017}

Well, guys, for once I’m going to do a Beautiful People post not using one of my characters from Burning Thorns. I KNOW, RIGHT??? IT’S BEEN AGES. So who am I going to feature today? *pause for dramatic effect* MEEEEE!!!!!!! Now before you think I’ve turned into a complete narcissist, I’m only doing this because the Beautiful People questions for this month are centered around the author. So see? It’s not even my choice. (But really now, over half this blog is me talking about my writing. Oops?)   Visit Sky @ Further Up and Further In or Cait @…

Beautiful People – Lystraea {June 2017}

  Visit Sky @ Further Up and Further In or Cait @ Paperfury to join the BP linkup! It’s meh favorite time of the month. BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE TIIIIME. And I haven’t actually done one since March. *gasp* *shock* *ack* So I’m super excited to be doing one today! It’s only my favorite linkup ever. Today I decided to feature Lystraea from, you guessed it, Burning Thorns. (Really, do I ever do BP posts for any character from my other novels anymore??? I only have like 23849834 characters from my many, many novels. Sheesh.) It occurred to me the other day…

Beautiful People – The Dragon {March 2017}

  Visit Sky @ Further Up and Further In or Cait @ Paperfury to join the BP linkup! I am super pumped today! Becaaaause it’s Beautiful People time! I haven’t done just a good ol’ classic BP in ages. Beautiful Books was going down in October through January, and then I skipped February’s BP (oops). It was SEPTEMBER the last time there was just a normal BP for me to do. I HAVE MISSED IT. I figured since I am (read: supposed to be) editing my Beauty and the Beast retelling, Burning Thorns, I should do a character from it.…

Beautiful Books – 2017 Writing Goals

  Visit Sky @ Further Up & Further In or Cait @ Paperfuryto get the questions and join up! *soars down from atop a dragon’s back and does a backflip to the floor* *actually just stumbles in blinking and blurry eyed* I HAVE RETURNED.   I know you did. First of all, HAPPY 2017!!!!! Can you believe it’s the new year? (Well, maybe you can since we’re already a month in but my brain is slow, so humor me.)

Beautiful Books – Novel Update {NaNoWriMo 2016}

  What is this glorious thing I see before me? I think it’s a…HALFWAY MARKER. That’s right, Week Two of NaNoWriMo is nearing a close, and come tomorrow we’ll be halfway finished!!! HALFWAY, PEOPLE. Can you believe it? How are you surviving? Week two tends to be the hardest of NaNo as the excitement of week one fades into weariness, a dozen empty coffee cups, and the knowledge that the end is still far, far away. But once we get over that halfway hump, the rest of NaNo just zooms by. So if you’re feeling discouraged, DON’T GIVE UP. You…

Beautiful Books – More Gold than Sunlight {NaNoWriMo 2016}

Hmmm… Isn’t there something important starting tomorrow? Now what could it be? National Eat a Burrito Month? No, no. National Ride a Giraffe Month? Nooo. Oooh yeah. It’s only National Novel Writing Month. Psh. No big deal. ………………… NANOWRIMO STARTS TOMORROW HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???? So…yes. Apparently NaNo begins TOMORROW. And guess who hasn’t really talked about her novel yet? This giiirl! In my defense, I’ve been super busy plotting it ALL. MONTH. Turns out plotting a finale to a 7-book series takes some time. Who knew, right? I only just finished all my plotting this week, so now I…
