A Challenge
August 19, 2014
I think I could do this. It would give me a great chance to catch up on reading and get a lot of writing done. However, I would need some of the money in advance because my job requires computer access. It would be super difficult, though, because I’d essentially be entirely cut off from … More A Challenge
The Fugitive
August 18, 2014
A crack of thunder boomed as lightning lit the sky, changing the pattern of the angry thud of heavy rainfall. I huddled in an alley, trying to stay hidden from the brunt of the storm by squeezing against the locked door of a closed bar. My heart raced as I pondered what I could possibly … More The Fugitive

August 17, 2014
As many of my readers know, I’ve wanted to make a living out of writing for a long time, but I’m stuck in a full-time job because I have bills to pay and my boyfriend hasn’t found a job yet. My financial situation isn’t good due to my lack of savings and my debt load, but it … More News: Patreon Page Created
Robin Williams: Opposite Ends of Reaction
August 16, 2014
JT Eberhard of the blog What Would JT Do? had two posts this week that showcase two frankly disgusting reactions to the death of Robin Williams. Interestingly, they come from opposite sides of the religious perspective. From the atheist side of things, we have PZ Myers, who fortunately does not speak for all of us. … More Robin Williams: Opposite Ends of Reaction
Would You Rather Have Friends or Author a New York Times Best Seller?
August 15, 2014
Would you rather have friends or author a New York Times best seller? I’ve been asking myself this question, along with the more general “What am I willing to give up from my day to be a more prolific writer?” for three days, since I read this article on Cracked called “5 Ways You’re Sabotaging … More Would You Rather Have Friends or Author a New York Times Best Seller?
Depression
August 14, 2014
I’m going to start with this picture, because the owl is cute and the message is good. The loss of Robin Williams is a tragedy by any reasonable use of the term. However, the silver lining is that it gives us all an excuse to talk about a subject many of us try to avoid: … More Depression
Ron Swanson, Cool Science, Proposals, Pretzels, Prayer, and Rafiki
August 13, 2014
I think I might need to hire a title writer. ANYWAY I plan to join those who have written about depression this week after the death of Robin Williams. Perhaps ironically, I have been unable to do so yet in part due to my own blues this week, but now that I’ve got it through … More Ron Swanson, Cool Science, Proposals, Pretzels, Prayer, and Rafiki
He Said She Said Situations
August 12, 2014
I watched this talk from this year’s Amazing Meeting, and found myself appreciating many of the points brought up. Perhaps my favorite parts were pointing out that two people can be telling opposing stories and neither of them actually lying, and the fact that women (and men) are not always clear about their sexual desires … More He Said She Said Situations
Starbucks Frappuccino – Too Expensive?
August 11, 2014
This picture kinda pisses me off. Disclaimer: I am not a coffee drinker or Starbucks patron; feel free to correct any misinformation I present here, or add things I missed if you wish. Let’s assume the cost they have here is accurate and the ingredients for a Starbucks Frappuccino cost just 32 cents. My main … More Starbucks Frappuccino – Too Expensive?
