Man, I haven't posted to LJ in so long. I feel bad, but life went wacky and I've been really busy. After Land of No Angels came out, I was forced to relocate and more or less became homeless. Still am, really, but my family has been putting us up. I'm just glad we got out of that insane environment we were in, but it's heartbreaking that my husband ( Read more... )

This is going to be a sort of hodge podge post since I have several shorter things to talk about. For instance, I completely forgot to mention on this journal that I got a proof copy of my book last week! If you haven't checked out the blog post on my website yet, here's the link: nrwick.com.

I have yet to find anything that is even close to what I'm looking for and I've done every google search I can think of. When I tried to make my own spreadsheet, I discovered that I'm just not that good at making them and really have no ( Read more... )

I can always tell when I have a tight deadline and a lot of work to do because I seem to post a lot of blogs, tweets, and facebook statuses when I'm stressed out. (I also seem to get a lot of cleaning and errands done during this time.) I've been working on my MFA thesis, which also happens to be my YA novel, because I have to finish the first ( Read more... )

I wrote a new post over at Scribble Me This on The Writing Workshop: Coping With Criticism. I didn't cross post it this time since I'm planning on an entry exclusively for LJ. I just need to remember what the topic was. Also, just as a warning, the new post at Scribble Me This is pretty long. Haha, I've been pent up about it ( Read more... )
