Various Sundries: Desks, Twitter, and Trendy Writing

Oh my god, guys! I’ve been so busy! So busy that I half-started a post on Wednesday’s YA Highway Roadtrip Wednesday Topic (because, as someone about to give away all of her furniture, move, and get new stuff–including a new desk; I can’t wait!–I have a lot to say about it!). But alas, it’s been [...]

Merteaser Mertuesday: The Merman Problem

Poppopisms and Other Emmyart

Somehow I failed to realize that Poppopisms, a handmade booklet of my grandfather’s sayings tucked into a faux-leather wallet is available for sale on my sister’s website. One of my poems is included, printed on a fake receipt. My sister’s artwork is awesome, by the way. I love how we have intersecting themes. In any [...]
