My back aches, my hips hurt, and my scalp is sunburnt. That can mean only one thing: I spent Sunday at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2012 with Matt and I’ve got to say, it was pretty great. Actually, I have a confession to make: I’ve never been to a book festival or

I’ve searched Twitter, looked high and low for the other person, and still I’m left empty-handed. To the other kind person that tagged me: thank you! I’m sorry I can’t remember who

Those of you who follow my blog (or read my ravings on Twitter) know it’s been a busy couple of months. Still, I’m not one for making excuses and I have a confession to make: My submission numbers have been pretty poor, yo. Last year, I was excellent at resubmitting stories. Rejection comes in? That

Okay, so I should probably clarify the title of this post. “Busy Writer is Busy Doing Everything Except Writing.” Sigh. It’s true. I haven’t been too productive the past two months.
