I don't know if some of you are worrying about my mental/emotional health because of a previous update, but I figured I'd reassure you. I have an appointment set up for Monday and I will be going to talk about my depression. In truth, it is mild. I don't think about hurting myself and the… Continue reading Random Emotional Update

Writing Update!
Well, I'm still stuck on chapter nine of my book and I don't plan on making the little deadline I gave myself. I decided to take it slow. That way I can pay closer attention to the detail I want and hopefully make a better book than I would have if I just ran through… Continue reading Writing Update!
A Senseless Button

Anyway, I'm watching the movie and it comes to the Schwartz fight sequence between Lonestar and Big Helmet. And then it hit me:… Continue reading A Senseless Button

Something Fun and New
If you are reading my reviews, you can probably see a trend in what I read the most. Yep, I read a lot of Young Adult Paranormal fiction. It might be because that's the field I want to write in, but let's be honest, it can sometimes be tiring not reading something else. And so,… Continue reading Something Fun and New
It’s Absolutely Amazing
Every now and then I feel the urge to clean. I hate a cluttered workspace and for the most part a cluttered home (which is funny because I was always a messy person at my mom's house and then my dad's). Today happened to be one of those cleaning days. The object of my obsession?… Continue reading It’s Absolutely Amazing

So, for a while now I have been toiling in my mind trying to resuscitate a short story that was butchered and sewn back together into this absolute abomination I could never claim as my own.

A witty, honest, and hugely entertaining story for anyone who loves books, or has a difficult mother. And, let's face it, that's practically everybody . . . On paper, Arabella Hicks seems more than qualified to teach her fiction class on the Upper West Side: she's a writer herself; she's passionate about books; she's even named… Continue reading Book Seven of 2013: THE FICTION CLASS by Susan Breen
