It's early afternoon on January 1, 2013. After another raucous celebration to usher in the next 365 days, people everywhere are a slowly, determinedly getting themselves into motion, while trying very hard to ignore that splitting headache and the fact that vampires have, in fact, been correct about that annoying daylight all this time. Luckily, … Continue reading New Year’s Day 2013: A brief look at the year to come

10 Things I Learned Doing NaNoWriMo
November, thankfully, ran its course and finally had the common decency to expire like that milk you weren’t sure about anyway, or the tags on your car. And while the end of the eleventh month obviously means that another jingle bell-ridden, egg-nog inebriated, green-and-red-tinsled Christmas season is upon us, the more immediate point is that … Continue reading 10 Things I Learned Doing NaNoWriMo
A Triumphant Return to Blogging (or…blinking in the sunlight after a month of NaNoWriMo)
*tap* *tap* Is this thing on? Check. Check 1. Check 1-2. Chuck. Chuck Toast. So, um, hello! In case you don't seem to know me, or in the more likely case just can't remember me, I'm Puddin.

A limerick for post-Thanksgiving NaNoWriMo guilt
There once was on a NaNo-ing word-monkey whose Thanksgiving was clearly quite lovely. But when they'd devoured all the bird, t'was time to write catch-up words, or his novel'd be cooked like his turkey!
A haiku for the lack of blogging (again)
I remember well the lazy pre-NaNo days; my blog's golden age.
A quick check-in and a NaNo update
Contrary to popular belief, no, I’m not dead. But I’ve been writing my fat, stumpy fingers down to tiny little still-chunky nubs in the past two weeks while working on my NaNoWriMo novel.

A haiku about the sudden, recent lack of embloggination
Blog thoughts float like leaves Lost in a tempest of words NaNoWriMo reigns
Getting it done, sick as a dog
I’m sick at the moment, and it sucks. And I don't mean my typical, “holy cripes that dude needs to be committed because he’s more wrong in the head than Robin Williams” sick, or the occasional, “OMG, that did you see that guy break his arm while attempting that 1280 Double Nooner with a front … Continue reading Getting it done, sick as a dog
Weekend Debate: The Dreaded Hiatus
Now, I know what you’re thinking: here it is Sunday evening, the Bengals have already given us their weekly demonstration of how to be not quite good enough, the weekly family dinner is hot and steaming on the table, and yet, I’ve offered you absolutely nothing in the way of this week’s Weekend Debate. Well, … Continue reading Weekend Debate: The Dreaded Hiatus
An open letter to friends, family, and loved ones at the start of NaNoWriMo
[Not sure what I'm talking about with this whole NaNoWriMo thing? That's National Novel Writing Month, a fun nerve-wracking game delusional writers (including me, apparently) like to play in November. You can get more information here, and hey, why not check out my first post on the subject?] Dear Your Name Goes Here, By the … Continue reading An open letter to friends, family, and loved ones at the start of NaNoWriMo
