And... I've moved!
And… I’ve moved!
Pretty much what the title says. I have officially moved blogs! I’ve been at this site for a little under a year now, and it’s been fantastic, but, for reasons I have explained over on the new site, I’ve moved! You will be my favorite people in the world if you come with me. Here you go: Orthodoxy, Hobbits, and Tea I look forward to seeing you all there!

I live!
I’m not dead! Just, kinda… hiding from my blog… Procrastination is a nasty thing. But it’s not just procrastination. Recently, I’ve found myself dreading sitting down to write a blog post. I draw a blank when trying to write about anything. I’ve been having a lot of doubts and fears about my writing, the quality and worth of it. I’ve also found that my blog isn’t what I want it to be. I’m not…

Christ is Risen! // Pascha 2017
Christ is Risen! // Pascha 2017
Christ is risen! Truly, He is risen! Pascha! Pascha is finally here! Pascha, for those who are unfamiliar with the term, is the word that the Orthodox use for Easter. It means Passover, from Hebrew I believe, transliterated into Greek and then transliterated from Greek into English. I don’t remember how exactly the date is determined, but it’s differently than Western Easter and it’s not often…

Taking Your Novel Slowly
Taking Your Novel Slowly
Being already over a week into Camp NaNo, this seems like a rather silly subject to talk about. But I’ve been thinking about it a whole lot more, lately. As always, when any sort of NaNo rolls around, thousands of authors around the world set a goal and then furiously scribble (or type, most probably type) away at their beautiful, messy baby. Going slowly isn’t even a thought. 30 days, 50k words……

Beautiful Books // Camp NaNo
It is upon us! NaNoWriMo season again. If you’re not aware, NaNoWriMo is an event that takes place in November. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writer’s Month, and during it thousands of writers around the world set out to write a 50K (or more!) novel in a month. There are also two summer programs called Camp NaNoWriMo that take place in April and July. They’re a little more relaxed, in that…

The Chosen // Review
The Chosen // Review
THIS BOOK I’m not entirely sure how to talk about this book. It’s almost a book you shouldn’t talk about. Or maybe it’s been too close to me finishing it and and I’m still in the “I have no words” stage. I’m still going to try. Maybe I’ll make sense of my own thoughts. So what is this book I’m raving about? The Chosen, by Chaim Potok . Cover from Goodreads Synopsis from Goodreads: It is the…

Story Update // Character Profiles
Hello everyone! I just realized that I haven’t talked about my book in forever, and there’s been a ton of progress. Characters have been added and taken away, the plot’s undergone at least two major changes. (Credit to the amazing Savannah for brainstorming help) Most notably, there’s another main character! So here you go, the character profiles of the two MCs and the villain! Here’s a quick…

Forgiveness Vespers // 2015
Forgiveness Vespers // 2015
A little bit of context: Forgiveness Vespers is the first service of Lent in the Orthodox Church, where we ask forgiveness of everyone in the parish. It’s an absolutely beautiful service, and we actually sing the Pascha (Easter) hymns during it, which was a wonder surprise for me my second Forgiveness Vespers, when I could actually recognize them. When my family began the journey to the Orthodox…

A Question of Honor // Review + Interview
IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S FINALLY HERE!! Welcome, one and all, to my small part in the Question of Honor blog tour! You might remember from the cover reveal post, the book releases today! By the time this post is published I’ll probably have already bought a copy. Links’ll be down below somewhere so you can go get a copy, too. And here’s the cover again, along with the synopsis. Look at the…

Lent Has Begun
As of Sunday evening, Lent has begun for a great part of the world. I’m an Orthodox Christian, and for 40 days leading up to Holy Week (the week before Easter), we fast, preparing for Easter. I’m going to start this off with a full disclaimer: I’m decidedly, in no way whatsoever, an expert on the topic of Lent. What I know is what I’ve experienced, and I’ve only lived through two Lents, and only…

When Your Friend Publishes a Book
When Your Friend Publishes a Book
If you’re at all in the same corner of the blogosphear that I’m in, you’ve probably seen several book releases and cover reveals in the last month or so. And if you’re anything like me, you really want to support your friends (and read their books because they look fantastic), but you have no money with which to embark on this noble endeavor. I feel you. Anyway, since I’m in the same boat, I…

Project Canvas
Not my graphic – belongs to the Project Canvas people
Blogs are great and all, but wouldn’t it be cool if all your favorite, most helpful blog posts, with all their unique perspectives and voices and tips were gathered together and published in one book? I would buy it. Would you? Would you want to contribute to it, if you could? You can. I am. It’s called Project Canvas.
What is it? Project…

Blog Updates
Hello all!
You might have noticed my silence last week. You can blame school for that (and blogger’s block and laziness, but we won’t mention those). I’m afraid there isn’t going to be much of a post this Monday, either, just a few blog-maintenance things and an announcement. But more about that later.
For one, I’ve been working hard this past week to update and add pages and the like to the menu…

The English Language
English is such a great language, isn’t it? I mean, where else can you get a sentence like “All the faith he had had had had not effect on his life” and it makes perfect sense?
I’m afraid I don’t know much grammatically about the English language. I can use proper grammar, but it’s instinctual for me. I probably couldn’t define what an adjective is. I couldn’t diagram a sentence. I probably know…

Screen Characters Tag
And finally I get to it. I was tagged with this over a year ago by Abby at A Glimpse of Starlight when I first got a blog. I was a super excited 14 year old, happily making my first post, full of plans on what to do next… and then it peetered. I like to think I’m doing a little better this second time round. I’m certainly trying. Anyway, way back then I was tagged with this, and now, finally, I’m…
