whimsical writing: Why Write?
http://whimsicalwriting.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-write.html
A peek into my crazy mind as I tackle the world of writing. Monday, August 22, 2011. First, a shout out to David Powers King. A truly awesome person! He posted some awards for me on his blog. If you haven't checked him out, do it. He is working on some pretty amazing stuff. Now on to my post . . . It reared its ugly head again, in the sixth grade, when my parents brought my dark poetry into question (clearly I had issues). Into the literary side of things. So here I sit, years later, my impractical degre...

A Wrinkle in Time | The YA Subscription
https://yasubscription.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/a-wrinkle-in-time
Examining intersectionality in children's and young adult literature. A Wrinkle in Time. February 13, 2011. At first this seemed like a nice, easy start for this blog. L’Engle is one of my favorite authors, and Meg Murry is one of my favorite characters. But loving the novel doesn’t erase the issues inherent in it- which is basically the purpose of this blog in a nutshell. EDIT: Alaska has a great counter-argument in the comments. If you’re interested. A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeleine L’Engle. Secondly, I’...

The Bluestocking Blog: A Time for Thanks
http://thebluestockingblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-time-for-thanks.html
The weekly musings of an over-educated young woman on writing, reading, and other miscellany. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. A Time for Thanks. Regardless of what you believe or how you choose to celebrate, taking a moment once a year to take stock and say thanks is a wonderful thing. And after spending the last few months caring for a sick family member, it’s a good time for me to reflect on the wonderful things in my life. I’m thankful for…. Should be out sometime next year, and I can’t wait! Where I me...

The Bluestocking Blog: Nefarious Narrative Distance
http://thebluestockingblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/nefarious-narrative-distance.html
The weekly musings of an over-educated young woman on writing, reading, and other miscellany. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. My name is Bluestocking and I have a problem with narrative distance. Or at least that’s one. Of my problems. As I polish my historical romance novel, I keep finding sentences that just fall flat, DOA. Nothing’s wrong with them grammatically, but they simply aren’t doing enough work. See the bad and get rid of it. So let’s hash out narrative distance. Says narrative distance is “a...

The Bluestocking Blog: December 2013
http://thebluestockingblog.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
The weekly musings of an over-educated young woman on writing, reading, and other miscellany. Wednesday, December 18, 2013. The End of the Year as We Know It. And I feel fine. Fine with saying goodbye to 2013. The rest of this year, I’ve been sidelined dealing with a family member’s illness. Productivity came to a screeching halt, writing time evaporated, and all that momentum has turned into regret at what-could-have-beens. Image by Amodiovalerio Verde of Flickr. What to expect next January? Chicken Fee...

In the New York Times. A particularly fun addition to a growing list of major newspaper pieces by people who dont read young adult fiction but publicly disparage it anyway. Dear Mr. Stein,. Youre a humorist, yes? Your books (and possibly this column) are meant to be funny? Thats just ducky: good for you! For m...
