Ok so the title of this post was totally for dramatic effect, LOL!Last post, I shared my three wishes for this semester with everyone. For my third wish, I asked that my neighbors push their weekly “Party Rock Anthem” fiesta from Wednesday night to the weekend just because, you know, that makes sense.  I also [...]

1.To Stay Healthy Every semester starts off the same for me.  I exercise regularly, I eat properly and I take my vitamins.  Yet, shortly after midterms, this trend ends.  Between crazy assignments, a short vacation which makes me more susceptible to procrastination.  I have to beat this trend. 2.To Write More Being a grad student [...]

LOL! Gotcha again!  The things I have to do to get people to read my blog.  But you’re here and that makes me happy! Today, we discuss a necessary component in a good story, the antagonist, also known as the enemy, nemesis, frenemy, etc. Traditionally, an antagonist is usually an actual individual.  But the enemy [...]

*blinks* – That’s what I think of 2011.  This year went by so fast, I don’t think I managed a blink.  I also don’t remember much of it except that, I moved, started a new school, have a new S.O. (if you don’t know what this means, email me.), and I got SHORTLISTED for the [...]

I know that many of you are out searching for gifts for your loved and not-so-loved ones. While you’re rummaging through the poorly stocked shelves of your favorite department store, I ask you to consider this:  You will fail to find a gift for at least one person on your list and said person will [...]

So, last post I admitted to the world that I was so so far behind in NaNoWriMo that it was possible I would not win. Well this past week has been a hectic one.  And, I am behind yet again.  But does this mean I won’t win? I don’t know yet. Hell, I don’t know [...]

As usual, during the second week of NaNoWriMo, I find myself lagging behind everyone.  It’s not that I’ve hit a road block and don’t have anything to write, but because I’m in Grad School!  I can’t find time to eat let alone write. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. I’m only 3400 hundred words behind and to be [...]
