Writer – Playwright – Cannot Save You From The Robot Apocalypse

I’m not sure what to write again this week so let’s have another exciting round of “What’s Going On?”!

I was setting up a queue for posts for my book blog (because otherwise I’ll forget to post on it) when I saw an interesting topic for a future “Top Ten Tuesday.” To those not in the book blogging community, “Top Ten Tuesday” is a weekly meme now hosted by book blogger That Artsy Reader …

I often pride myself on being independent and knowing how to be alone. I don’t do it in a jerky way (at least I hope I don’t), but I’ve had friends who have found better friends and I’ve seen people who can’t function in the world without someone by their side, so I’ve had to …

I tend to read a lot of books by women writers. Part of this is because I am a woman writer so obviously, part of it is that women writers don’t get as much credit as male writers so I like to make sure I read as many books by women writers as I can, …

(NOTE: Look, I know Meghan Markle and Kate “technically” aren’t princesses, they’re duchesses. But they’re married to princes and a lot of people consider them princesses, and so to fit with the theme of the article they’re being called princesses.)
