You have no idea how excited I [...]

A Prologue

Inventrix | November 25, 2009

I was digging through my Google Docs files the other day and came across some writing projects I’d begun and pushed aside (for whatever reason). In particular, I came across the prologue to a set of serial shorts that I had been planning on writing. Ah, that project. The idea started out [...]

Do you know the title of this book?

Inventrix | November 16, 2009

There is a book that I read, many many years ago, which I cannot remember the author, title, or even any names of any characters in it. All I remember is some parts of the story and the fact that it weirded me out.
The second point makes me want to read it again, now [...]

Baking Brownies: what NOT to do

Inventrix | November 10, 2009

Funny story.
I was baking brownies for my boyfriend’s birthday, and I added twice the flour needed. Oops.
After much debate, I decided to finally just double the recipe, despite only having one baking dish. Unfortunately, when I put the batter in said baking dish, I apparently put in rather more than half. Fear [...]

What are the chances?

Inventrix | November 10, 2009

A couple of weeks ago (actually, exactly two weeks ago) I finally got my scooter back from the shop. Among other minor cosmetic things still wrong with it (mostly by my choice), the little rubber thing that sealed the trunk lock against the side of the scooter was partially detached. My dad and [...]

NaNoWriMo output from Day 6

Change of plans re: NaNoWriMo, pars duo, and an exerpt

Inventrix | November 6, 2009

Since I changed what I was doing for NaNoWriMo (again) a few days ago, I realized today that I might as well post the draft (in all of its terrible glory) on here after all.
Here’s the part I wrote on November 2nd. What I write today will be posted at the end of the day/tomorrow.

What I Read as a Child

Inventrix | November 2, 2009

MullberryCrafts on Twitter recently asked me, in the course of a conversation, what books I’d read as a child. To which I responded, of course, that there were far too many to list on Twitter. So instead, I will begin compiling a list here and adding to it as I remember things.
And now, [...]
