SO. Tis the season… of season finales. AKA those shows that tend to twist me up into little balls of feelings so intense that it is all that I can do not to rock myself back and forth. I love a good story, obviously, and along with books, this means I am completely addicted to television, so I watch A LOT OF SHOWS. And here is my reaction to a few season/series finales… so far. In other words…
Okay friends, here is a confession of one of my many, many quirks: I like to plan. NAY, I LOVE to plan. So therefore, for the upcoming trip that I mentioned in my last post, I am trying to plot a schedule/budget. I have been on Google Maps Street View all day exploring the streets near the apartment that I’m staying in, as well fiddling (for the umpteenth time) with my budget for the trip. I now know such useful information as the location of Shake Shack, that there is a pizza place around the corner, and that Five Napkin Burger (SOUNDS HEALTHY, RIGHT?!) is just up the street. I’ve figure out that directions to get to the convention center and Central Park are both very nice and easy. Joyously easy to walk. I have discovered that online Subway maps […]
Once upon a time I went to New York. This was in high school, and I went with two of my best friends and our yearbook adviser for the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. In between the conference, we were very TOURISTY. We went to Battery Park and Central Park, toured Rockefeller Center and NBC (I would totally do the entire thing again), stayed in Time Square, travelled by subway, bought handbags on canal street, ate at Katz’s Deli (where one of my FAVORITE scenes from When Harry Met Sally took place) ate at Tavern on the Green, and… yeah. TOURIST. And in less than a month (ahhhh, is that real life?!) I’m going back for Book Expo America. And per Lindsey’s suggestion, I am making a list of things that I want to do. Some of them are repeats of […]
I’m using this post to stall for time. Which is to say that I’m delaying the things that I know I should be doing instead. Thing #1- Going to the gym to work on week 3 of Couch to 5K. Which feels just short of impossible… but yeah. I’m going. I swear. As soon as my phone has enough of a charge to last for 30 minutes of music because doing that without it also feels just short of impossible Thing #2- Writing. Because I’ve been blocked on my work in progress for probably around a month and I’m just trying to squeeze the words out right now. I was going with the NaNoWriMo method of 1,667 words a day, but have been less than successful. Also I’m writing a fantasy novel and I just finished reading BITTERBLUE which was awesome […]
So. Some things about me/this space/why it’s here. 1) I already have a blog, but starting one that isn’t almost entirely devoted to Young Adult book reviews like Almost Grown-up is seemed like a fun idea. I’m following the example of fellow writer/book blogger Lindsey of Lindsey with an E and Storm of Words. 2) I have no idea how often I’m going to post on here or what I’m going to post about, really. 3) My life is consumed by books. In EVERY form. I’m working on my own novel now, having written two terrible ones before for NaNoWriMo. I’m part of a book club. I mentioned the book blog thing already… And I’m also an intern with a literary development company and an intern for a literary agent. 4) …But I’m basically unemployed right now. 5) I’m hoping […]
