Train Like You Are in …. the Divergent Series
Question: Does anyone really love to exercise? Answer: Surprisingly, yes. So much of exercising is considered a chore to most people, myself included. I have found two true forms of exercise that I actually love: tennis and hiking. Unfortunately, I live in Georgia, so occasionally hiking is cancelled by the extreme humidity and heat. One…

Crochet Project: Knot Headband
I wish I had taken more pictures of this project! And it felt good to finally complete one after so long. I’ve got way too many unfinished projects sitting around. Anyways, this is a a knotted headband I made for an amazing friend of mine. It was made with Caron Simply Soft Party yarn. Caron…

Review: Hex Hall Series
Hex Hall Series By Rachel Hawkins 2010-2012 Hyperion Books Rated: 2.5/5 Moose This will probably be the last time I review something as an entire series, and instead focus on each book individually.

The Black Tapes – a quick podcast review

Trying to understand boarding school…
….when you went to public school. I went to public school all the way through my undergrad, then did a brief and regrettable year in a private grad school (regrettable because the student loans?

Back to it?
I didn’t keep up with this site – I don’t keep up with much of anything when it comes to writing. Nonetheless, I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. In July I wrote over 20K words of a story for Camp NaNoWriMo. I haven’t really touched the story since. Almost immediately I went into…

Introductory Post, You are a Bia-tch.
The thing I let define me the most in life is that 5 years ago, I nearly died twice. I was diagnosed with a rare and incurable autoimmune disease, and then 3 months later, I ended up in a car accident that left me in ICU for a month. The six months between my diagnoses…
