Today is the last day of October and the last day of sanity for the next 30 days. That's right, I am doing NaNoWriMo for this year. It isn't the first year nor will it be the last, but will I actually succeed this time? I can only write to see. For those who don't… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2016

Wrtie Here, Write Now (#1)
I know, bad pun. I honestly couldn't help it. I'm big on puns and it seemed like a great idea to do that with my Friday update posts. Yep, I finally figured out a day for my personal updates on what's going on. As you can probably see, my reading is going well. I seem… Continue reading Wrtie Here, Write Now (#1)
The Suffolk Mystery Authors Festival
I am a resident of Virginia and am always up for events that are going around locally. I haven't been able to go to many this year, but when I found out about the Suffolk Mystery Authors Festival, I couldn't say no. I'm a writer, I'm a reader, and I love a good mystery. I… Continue reading The Suffolk Mystery Authors Festival
It’s Like Torture
I am of the opinion that choosing a career in writing is not romantic. Seriously, it isn't. You have to be disciplined or at least motivated to write every day even when there is nothing to write on your mind. You have to search for inspiration or just write until inspiration decides to visit. Your… Continue reading It’s Like Torture
An Update On Stuff
I know that lately all you've seen were my book reviews and I thought that maybe I should switch things up a bit. Everyone likes a shake down every now and then. Well . . . maybe not everyone. I'm sure people who owe loan sharks or the mafia don't like getting shaken down. I'm… Continue reading An Update On Stuff
In Love With Red Marks
It's been a long time since I actively looked at my own work and tore it to pieces. I don't usually put that much time and effort in my short stories and that might be why I'm not getting them out there (go figure). I hardly ever edited my college papers (again, that might be the… Continue reading In Love With Red Marks
I’ve Been Thinking
The first thing that comes to my mind when I say that I've been thinking, is the Gaston reprise in Beauty and the Beast. You know it. Gaston: LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking. LeFou: A dangerous pastime Gaston: I know. Yeah, sometimes I think my brain is crazy. Go figure. Anyways, that's not the… Continue reading I’ve Been Thinking
Top 5 in 5 Preview
Hey everyone! I just wanted to tell you that I'm joining in a little fun with a few other book blogs. For the days January 25-31, a blog will list their top five books between the years of 2010-2014. At the end of it all, there will be giveaways in all of the blogs. I'm… Continue reading Top 5 in 5 Preview
What’s New?
It's been a while since I last updated my life on here and I thought: why not? So, here's a little update on what's been going on. I started up a new blog. Yep, I did. It's casiacourtier.blogspot.com. I started it up because I recently went through a book I just bought (2015 Guide to… Continue reading What’s New?
Writing…
There isn't much that is really pressing to write about, but for some reason my brain is frizzing out. You know that white noise that used to be on the tv when you can't get a signal for a local channel or the white noise in between radio stations? Yeah, that's how I can describe… Continue reading Writing…
