I had the privilege of taking part in a writer’s workshop today at Wattpad HQ in Toronto. They gathered about a dozen of us up, fed us pizza and picked our brains re: our writing process and individual/collective journeys as part of ongoing research into how to better serve writers. […]
This blog post was written from the inside of a cozy pub in Toronto, an hour or so before I head off to a friend’s husband’s jazz performance. In this pub, I wrote 313 words and bunch of good notes. It’s been a while since I sat down in place […]
It’s true! Lots of plans piling up, and it’s a ripe time to be packing up too. I’ve noticed that the Instagram followers count is plateauing, with a steady gain and loss of a few people a day. I assume all the follow-unfollow accounts are starting to catch up to […]
Hunting Midnight Episode 5 is already almost 15,000 words long! That’s partially because I thought it was still part of Ep4, but hey. Wrote 1,089 words of it today, still need a title for Ep4 (Thinking something along the lines of ‘A Course in Evil’), still need to up the […]

I wrote 655 words, which is THREE below the daily goal and I feel like adding three somewhere for kicks, but BAH, laid as played, so to speak. Did my first CC crit in a while (~1,000 words), a habit I do hope to improve upon as soon as other […]
That’s a cute, convoluted title meant to springboard off the previous entry of “Midweek Molasses.” It means today was very productive, as in the molasses became pancakes… or… I don’t know it’s late and I’m weary. Things that made today very good: Got a lot done at work, including solving […]
