Leaf out of her book: February round up
http://writingtotherescue.blogspot.com/2016/03/february-round-up.html
Leaf out of her book. Tuesday, 1 March 2016. So Circumstances have changed since the last post. The Harry Potter night was a huge success. Games Night at the shop was getting more people than ever. The SFF section was all tidied up and doing well, with a new reviews-and-local-events display on the wall, and I was just working on what new displays to put in place. And. Uh. I'm not working for Waterstones anymore. Wish me luck getting anything that good again; I'll need it. The shock of that flattened me f...

Leaf out of her book: January round up
http://writingtotherescue.blogspot.com/2016/02/january-round-up_1.html
Leaf out of her book. Monday, 1 February 2016. I have been a very busy bookseller this last month. There's been some redecorating, events, section shuffles, and the post-Christmas tidy up. But I've still found time to cram some books down my gullet. I'm trying to do better at keeping track of what, too. So here we go! All five volumes of Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. Planetfall by Emma Newman. What more could you want, right? A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan. Oooh, now this was...

Leaf out of her book: Your name will also go on the list
http://writingtotherescue.blogspot.com/2015/02/your-name-will-also-go-on-list.html
Leaf out of her book. Friday, 6 February 2015. Your name will also go on the list. In real life, I spend a lot of time chatting and hanging out with the people I met through NaNoWriMo. They're a pretty cool bunch who put up with my weird ways, and some of us swap short stories and the like for feedback. Stories in response. Mostly the title doesn't stay the same for the final version, but it's a good starting point/prompt. Your Stories, Should You Choose To Accept Them:. Lavender and the Random Acolyte.

Leaf out of her book: April 2016
http://writingtotherescue.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Leaf out of her book. Friday, 1 April 2016. This weekend just gone was Eastercon! I had thought I wasn't going to be able to go this year, unable to get the time off work, but what with being unexpectedly ejected from that, I suddenly find myself with a lot of spare time. So I guess there's a silver lining after all. A tiny, tiny silver lining. As I say, good fun. Lots of interesting panels, talks, and workshops. I can now write (draw? So what have I been reading, in my sudden bounteous free time? Hnnng ...

Leaf out of her book: May 2016
http://writingtotherescue.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Leaf out of her book. Sunday, 1 May 2016. I spent a few weeks of April in Chicago, for the wedding of some most excellent and fabulous people. It's been five years since I've seen them and their crowd, so we spent a couple of weeks geeking out, catching up, and getting them hitched in a very heartfelt and adorable ceremony. It was absolutely lovely, and I'm so glad I could be there for it. Sirens edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane. Labels: geek is good.

Leaf out of her book: December 2014
http://writingtotherescue.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Leaf out of her book. Tuesday, 9 December 2014. Has my head stopped spinning yet? And then I got a job at Waterstone's. Just a Christmas temp, for now, but of course it's extremely busy already and I am rather enjoying myself getting to be excited about books all day long. I really should stop clapping and cheering when customers who go off on an epic quest to find one specific book return to me at the till waving it triumphantly in the air, though. Oh, and Hanith is now out and about in very exclusive p...
