Happy (belated) New Year! I’m officially coming out of my unofficial hiatus to tell you all about my favourite book characters of 2016!

Losing NaNoWriMo: Why I Don’t Mind

It’s officially the last day of November, which means two things happen today: I declare that I didn’t win NaNoWriMo, because I wrote only 30k words I declare that I don’t care I lost NaNo, because I wrote freaking 30k words Long story short, I had a bit of an epiphany on Day 22. I went […]

Is it Canadian?

I wasn’t going to post this today. I was going to write something else, comfortable in the knowledge that I knew (probably) what I was talking about. But then I went on Twitter today, and I came across a topic of much debate in my circles, one that I’ve danced around for a long time. So […]

It’s moments like […]
