Personal

Diary of a Gamer

Part of the retooling of the blog is to talk about more of how I spend my time (minus the boring stuff). Every other Saturday, friends come over and we play a table top Role Playing Game or RPG. Right now, we are playing Pathfinder.

State of the Elle

I attended a writer’s conference last week and I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about my writing career, such as it is. With my full time job, full time family, and full time school, it’s been really hard to find time to be writerly.

April Round Up!

So, I’ve missed a few months of updates. Oops. I’ve been busy with school and personal issues. So much so that I have made some changes to my schedule to accommodate all the fun adulting I have to do now.

Five Movie Favorites from the 80’s

My early years were spent in the 80’s and like most kids I had some favorite movies. These movies catered to my love of fantasy and magic. Even today, I watch them with my kids on DVD in hopes they feel inspired by the stories. These are in no particular order.

So Worth It

As some of you may know, I used to dabble in fan fiction. It’s actually how I got into writing in the first place. I even have some fan fiction out there on the old inter-web from years ago. It is mostly gathering dust but every once in a while I get a review. The other day,Continue reading “So Worth It”

Weekend Update

I haven’t updated in a little while so I thought that I would correct that. I don’t have a lot going on. Due to the fact that I am not recovering as quickly as I anticipated, it has kept my productivity low. I’m doing what I can here and there but even with an incrediblyContinue reading “Weekend Update”
