I still think this is a topic we need to be having. Like constantly tell men they don't have to have sex to be vulnerable shouldn't be shocking.

Goodreads does an annual reading challenge (if you aren't on Goodreads yet - GET THERE) Last year I set myself 52 books - a book a week.   I ended up with 57 according to Goodreads.  So this year I said 60.  That's 5 books a month.   Whew, I better get cracking! Now, last year I… Continue reading Reading Challenge! →

Ok, there are 2 reasons I'm writing a second post.  The first is the easy one: SPOILERS.  The second is (perhaps) less obvious.  I needed a few days to really process my thoughts on the movie. Let me begin by saying: I enjoyed this film.  In a lot of ways I think it's among my… Continue reading Review: Star Wars (SPOILERS) →

Apparently, it needs to be covered: How To Make an Apology. Let's start with some context. WHEN to apologize. The answer is "yes." 1. Whether it's been 10 minutes or 10 years (or 90 years)- if you need to apologize, do it.   This is a hard one, but there it is: it is never too late… Continue reading Manners: Apologies →

Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors.  She is on the short list of "oh, I saw one of Tamora's books I haven't read. I'll pick that up and read it."  I don't love every book of hers I've read, but I've loved enough. And pretty much anything she wrote in Tortall is a win… Continue reading Review: The Song of the Lioness →

I will try to avoid spoilers in this review, but I can't 100% guarantee I won't "spoil" some.... surprise? I had to put a question mark there because that is my greatest criticism.  I didn't feel like this movie was surprising.  I went in thinking "Ok, I expect to see this, this and this character" (100% from the… Continue reading Review: Thor Ragnarok →

I can sum up my review with "If you liked the first one, I think you'll like this one."  Like many of my movie reviews, I'm going to put "spoiler warning" in here.  This one is stronger than most because there is a particular scene I'm going to talk about that is a quite spoiler-y.… Continue reading Review: Blade Runner 2049 →

Some of my favorite writers blog.  They blog regularly and I am trying to.  But since I can't say "ok, every Tuesday is my blog-writing day" and sometimes I work 8 hours of fun and sometimes 10 hours of stress.... what I'm saying is I'm trying to be good about regular posts. Of course my "will only… Continue reading Musings: The purpose of a blog →

I won! I won Camp NaNoWriMo for July 2017.  Yay! My Goal was 30,000 words in 31 days.  This is LESS than 1,000 words a day. I made it with 80 words to spare (I clocked in July 31st at 9:30pm with 30,089 words) Whew. I had a few really good days - mostly Saturday mornings… Continue reading Writing: Camp NaNoWriMo →

https://twitter.com/LibrinLatone/status/891296636881825793 This would help me SO MUCH. It would make so much of what is happening in the world today make more sense (to me).  I am somewhat avoiding the news. I am withdrawing into fantasy worlds and finding myself closer to tears all too often.
