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.

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

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
