...private...
This LiveJournal account is going private (i.e. to 'friends-only') because I sometimes get these random bouts of paranoia.
However, just hit 'Add them as a friend' at the top of the page and leave a comment on this post and there's a very (very very) high chance I'll accept. And if you're from FP, I'll definitely add you if you let me know who you ( Read more... ) -
Wowzers!
So a few people asked me to put up character pictures for Celestia of the Thorns, and I vaguely recall somebody had asked for a picture of the dress ('Aurora'; the one Celeste wears when dancing).
Bad news first: It's really hard to find character pictures for this one. For one thing, I'm getting turned off by the amounts of make-up on many of the ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo 2009!
I first heard of NaNoWriMo last year when everybody seemed to disappear at once from FictionPress. By the time I figured out what the hell had happened it was already too late for me to enroll...well, not too late, but I knew I would never be able to write something in that time-frame because (1) I think it was already into the third week and (2) I ( Read more... ) -
The "Study" Series by Maria V. Snyder
My first book review in ages...and it's going to be on a series. The "Study" series is written by Maria V. Snyder and I came across it at the bookstore before I went on vacation (and finally bought them last week and finished reading yesterday). The series is completed, and there are three books in it: Poison Study, Magic Study, and Fire Study.

Calling all challenges!
To be completely honest, I think I'm becoming extremely lazy and slacking off...so I decided to turn to my readers (or random LJ stalkers...whatever) for help. I think what I need to get me back into frantic writing are challenges that'll make me think and, well, generally be challenging.
I don't know where to start, or what kind of guidelines to ( Read more... ) -

Currently Reading...
(EDIT: This post is currently not floating at the top because it's a huge-ass distraction up there. I'm still trying to figure out a better way to do this...)
I currently don't have friends-only enabled, so feel free to add me if you want to keep track of my writing, life, or whatever brought you over here.
This is just a welcome post of sorts (plus ( Read more... ) -
Some food for the mind...(more about plagiarism).
Katie-Maude on FictionPress.com has written a very informative piece on plagiarism. No, it's not a rant like mine was. Rather, it's an intellectual piece that explains the misconceptions of plagiarism and clearly illustrates many of the rules and consequences of plagiarizing.
I believe it's a must-read for readers and writers alike, so please do ( Read more... ) -
Plagiarizers: Please chop off your fingers.
My god-sister messaged me on MSN two weeks ago and asked for help with her English assignment on Sophocles' Oedipus the King. Luckily for her, I just finished taking Introduction to Classical Mythology this past semester, the story was part of the syllabus, and I was interested enough in the course to remember the specifics. She suggested finding ( Read more... )
