Editor Superpower

According to this this test, I average about 1200 words per minute when it comes to reading. This means I can read War and Peace in about 8 hours, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in about 1 hour, and various and sundry other things quickly.

Good to know I was born to be an editor.

Pub(lishing) Crawl: Bringing Your Baby to Editorial Board

Lawdy, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged isn’t it? Many things have been going on, but I haven’t had the time to sit down and give y’all a thorough update on what’s going on in my life, both professionally and personally. Everything’s all good!

Anyway, one of the pieces of news I forgot to mention is that I’ve now joined the ladies of Pub(lishing) Crawl as a contributor, so expect to see posts about the industry from me once a month there!

Today I blogged about the acquisitions process (complete with all the GIFs I stole from Tumblr), so head on over there to check it out!

Sad Corliss

I really need to get back into the habit of drawing more often. Back in high school, I spent 6 hours a week doing art because I was in Visual Arts Conservatory. Some days it sucked pretty hard, but most days it was like therapy. It’d be nice to set aside a few hours everyday to work on art. And music. I played piano pretty much every day in high school as well. How did I find these pockets of time???? Now I barely seem to have time to exercise, let alone have hobbies.

Anyway, I found a Photoshop brush that pretty closely recreates what it’s like to sketch with graphite, so I drew a quick sketch of a sad Corliss (a character from my novel) referencing David Tennant because…everything should reference David Tennant. (Also, I seem to have forgotten how to draw on real pencil and paper. Ought to remedy that.)

Not Enough Tyrion

So I finally caught up on the first episode of the second season of Game of Thrones and my only conclusion is:

NOT ENOUGH TYRION.

Also, oh Sansa! Sansa, darling, you are my new favourite: you are smart and clever and stuck in a TERRIBLE position, but you’re a quick study and totally out-gamed Joffrey.

It’s agony waiting for the next episode! Any of you Game of Thrones fans? Did you watch the season premiere? Thoughts?

Why Calvin and Hobbes Are The Best

  • CALVIN: They say the world is a stage. But obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines.
  • HOBBES: Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
  • CALVIN: We need more special effects and dance numbers.

Calvin and Hobbes pretty much defined my childhood. And y’all wonder where White-Harp came from…

Feelings

My friend T.S. made this motivational poster of me based on a conversation we were having, and yes, I said this exact thing verbatim.

Also:

Philip Pullman is My Hero

  • INTERVIEWER: If you had a coat of arms, what would be on it?
  • PHILIP PULLMAN: A bird of the raven family with a diamond in her beak. This is the storyteller: storytellers always steal their stories, every story has been told before.
