I know there are at least three of you who have been following this blog since the beginning. That means that you probably remember my first ever blog. If you’re not one of the original three, or you just want to refresh your memory, here’s the link. Please be kind in your rereading… I was in 8th grade (14 years old!) and clearly I was not having the best day. Why am I making you read this again? I promise, there’s a point.

My first poetry slam!
My friend Matt is kind of insane. He does, like, everything, but something he’s really gotten into is poetry slams. He reads and participates in the weekly Portland Poetry Slams most Sundays, and a couple months ago decided that what our college needed was a slam poetry club. Naturally, I joined on, and last week we had our first “official” slam. Here are my performances (even though I missed two lines in the second one which I’m still upset about), and you should definitely go to our club’s YouTube channel to check out the rest of people’s stuff, because everyone was great!

Weighed Down
Four years ago, I looked like this:Â Â Â Â And at the beginning of this school year, I looked like this:
Can you spot the difference?
My first rejection!
*This is a bonus unscheduled blog because I missed last Friday*
So this summer, one of the goals I had that I didn’t really talk about was to start sending out query letters for Eugenia, and if I finished editing my other books, for them as well. According to the ever-so-comprehensive Wikipedia: Continue reading “My first rejection!”
This is the end
…of my first summer home from college. It kind of went super slow, even though it’s already over, and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. I mean, if you’d asked me two years ago what I’d be doing during my first summer home from college, I would have speculated that I would hang out with all my friends from high school like Mia and Kelli and Craig and that whole crowd. I thought I’d be going on nostalgic camping trips, talking late into the night about college antics, going on weekend adventures to our various college towns. In reality, I remain on speaking terms with a grand total of about 10 out of 460 people from high school, and for the most part I spent my summer trying out various coffee shops and making videos.

So this is what I’ve been working on today
Books of appearance [L-R]: The Secret Wife (Micah Reeder), Addicted (Drake Hallow), Scourge (Lee Aranda).
Their love interests (who happen to be the protagonists of the books) are also in order L-R:
You’ve seen these girls before. Allyson Ashland, Blair Hunter, Camden Hailey. <3
These characters are all from my spy series. Camden and Lee are the newest characters in the newest book Scourge, which I’ve been updating you about via Twitter all summer.
Not an emotional person
You know what? I wasn’t going to write this blog. I was going to do my Heroes review instead. But then the person who originally inspired this blog pulled the ridiculousness again and I couldn’t help it. So as the beginning of Star Trek plays in the background on Netflix Instant, I’m going to tell you exactly what pisses me off the most about people and judgements made about me. Continue reading “Not an emotional person”
These Folk: Nerd Cribz
Interestingly enough, my room has changed slightly since the filming of this video.
