One more week of freedom before my fall semester starts. My brain is finally emerging from its state of denial over that fact. But, to look on the shiny side of the crazy busyness that fall will bring, this will be my final year of grad school. Two more semesters and I'm done, baby! This … Continue reading Don’t leave me, summer!

The Semester That Ate My Blogging Time
So, um, you may not remember me, but I used to blog here. I know it's hard to tell, what with the eerie silence and the dust and all. In fact, the dust bunnies have grown large enough to feast upon small mammals. And that huge one lurking over in the corner? He's got that … Continue reading The Semester That Ate My Blogging Time
“Ghost Writer to the Dead” & Happy Shiny Writing Time
As you may or may not have noticed, I've kind of disappeared from the blogosphere again. My fall semester began last month, and it has been kicking my ass workload-wise. But on the bright side, two shiny writerly things: 1) First, pimpage: my story "Ghost Writer to the Dead" is now out in the October … Continue reading “Ghost Writer to the Dead” & Happy Shiny Writing Time
Hey, I have a blog! And time to post something on it!
*finally resurfaces from the Sea Of Too Much Else To Do* I finished with my second semester of grad school about a week and a half ago (and totally rocked it, by the way), which means I get to be a writer again! And read things that aren't for class! Wheeeee! And now that I've … Continue reading Hey, I have a blog! And time to post something on it!
Adventures of a Fiction-Writing MLIS Student: Semester 1
My first semester working toward my masters in library and information science is over, and I feel confident in saying that I totally rocked it. I was pleased to discover that, twelve years after finishing my undergraduate degree, I haven't lost my Nerd-Fu. On the downside, first semester craziness combined with Ye Olde Day Job … Continue reading Adventures of a Fiction-Writing MLIS Student: Semester 1
The State of the Barb
I know I keep threatening to return to a regular blogging routine, but life seems intent on not letting that happen. Nevertheless, here's the state of me: * School is keeping me busy, but I'm enjoying it a lot more than I ever did grant writing. This whole getting my MLIS thing? Good damn decision, … Continue reading The State of the Barb
Signals and study and stories, oh my!
It seems I went AWOL on the blog posting front. Again. But now that I'm here, many things... SIGNALS: First, a signal boost: Say Yes to Gay YA, where authors Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith talk about an unfortunate instance of being asked to either make a gay character in their novel straight or remove the … Continue reading Signals and study and stories, oh my!
Random Summer Is Random
I'm the kind of person who likes to have some structure to my life. It can be a little bit of structure or a lot of structure, but preferably a mix. If I need to practice piano earlier in the day than usual to accommodate something that can only be done later in the day, … Continue reading Random Summer Is Random
What I Didn’t Blog About On My Summer Vacation
*taps the blog mic* Is this thing on? So, yeah, I’ve been rubbish about posting lately. Life has been consumed by a big busy combo of workshopping craziness, vacationing, trying to finish things up at Ye Olde Day Job before my last day (two more weeks!), and preparing for that whole wacky grad school thing … Continue reading What I Didn’t Blog About On My Summer Vacation
Grad school weeee!, Part Deux
In the non-writerly acceptances category: much faster than I expected, a shiny acceptance from Rutgers for their Master of Library and Information Science program winged its way into my inbox today. And now that I've heard from both there and Drexel, I just need to make up my dang mind where I'm gonna go.
