Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. My Struggle with Work-Life Balance. I’ve been learning a lot over the past year about what it means to work as a software engineer. What “work-life balance” means to me–and how difficult it is to get there–is my current biggest challenge. I have a great job and a boyfriend that I love, but what does that leave time for?

Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. A Sunny Seattle Morning. This morning, instead of going to work, all I want to do is go for a nice long walk in the chilly (but sunny) air, and then sit in a cafe with a pastry and a coffee and read, or perhaps write. I want to get lost in the moment and appreciate the world around me. This post is all I have time for, though, and it will have to do. Deck the Hall Ball. I went to Deck the Hall Ball.

Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. I will miss Scotland dearly. It's been an amazing experience. I've changed a lot (for the better), and met so many great people, including friends I know I'll have for life. I'm sure I'll be putting aside money to come back as soon as I can. But it seems it's time for me to leave the people and the land behind. For now. Book Review #13: A Swedish Forrest Gump. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the ...

Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. The Problem With Critics. The critiques were in the mail today. Interestingly, so was the next issue of the New Yorker. Which happens to be entirely fiction this time. Today I also received two old issues of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. I don't know what I'm going to do. Do an entire fresh rewrite? Ignore the critics and submit to agents anyway? This is why I like science and computers...

Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. Ignorance Is. Strength? I've fallen behind on my book reviews, and I don't intend on catching up. I feel it would be more appropriate if I just blogged about books that really meant a lot to me, positively or negativley. So, here I am. Here's the review I posted on Goodreads. With my 4 star rating:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Writer, reader, gamer, programmer, music and sushi lover. To Read This Year.

Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. Almost every morning now, I walk my dad's Sheltie. In the words of Sara, take a walk once in a while, and stop to smell the roses. And the grass, and the leaves, and the trees, and the garbage, and the fire hydrants. Book Review #16: The Fault in Our Stars. Book 16: The Fault in Our Stars,. John Green's writing is both witty and beautiful. He makes a fair number of philosophical remarks as well, w...

http://paperbackdragon.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. Went to a used bookstore and a few coffee shops/cafes, and I have plans to visit my favorite Japanese restaurant in the city. And apart from these boxes in my living room, I'm all moved in and unpacked. I've even made a batch of cookies, which of course means I can say I'm officially settled. I figured I could spare a few minutes to write a blog post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). To Read This Year.

Stranger in a Strange Land: Catching My Excuses
http://paperbackdragon.blogspot.com/2015/01/catching-my-excuses.html
Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. And that the encouragement I got from other people had just been them projecting their ideas on me. Why not get into writing again? My second excuse, and probably every creative person’s favorite: Do I really have time? I have a busy life, people I want to spend time with, and other hobbies that I don’t want to let go of! I don’t have time to write. Again, I caught myself. I. So, I’m going to go...

Stranger in a Strange Land: Writing Again
http://paperbackdragon.blogspot.com/2013/08/writing-again.html
Stranger in a Strange Land. Thoughts on Life, Writing, and Technology from a Twentysomething in Seattle. I've decided to put aside my novel for a while, and start on this new story that's been nagging me to be written. Don't know if it's a short story or a novel yet. If it's a novel, probably not a series. I figured, though, that the first thing I should do before I get too far with it is re-read those critiques I posted about last time. And try to apply any good writing tips to this new story.
