Oh, my God, they're back. Is it just me, or the premiere wasn't as thrilling as expected? Were our expectations too high? (Damn right, we got used to utter awesomeness) Yes, it was impossibly cool because now all the characters/actors feel like home. Yes, it was disgusting and scary and creepy (that home-made porn movie,… Continue reading American Horror Story ‘Freakshow’ Premiere

Things that suck in the Writing Community, or Why we are all dicks with self-promotion.
Okay, after a short while in the writing community, I am really grateful about how much I learned. I learned about myself, my writing habits, my writing mood and what interests me. I learned not to accept every possible manuscript exchange for an honest review. I learned new fancy writing words. And many more I… Continue reading Things that suck in the Writing Community, or Why we are all dicks with self-promotion.
So I watched ‘The Haunting of Helena’…
Let's see...It had been a while since the last time I caught a satisfactory horror movie, so I kind of started avoiding them. It caused me great pain since I couldn't really feed my need for some onscreen fright, but I learned to live with it. Until a few nights ago, when I decided that… Continue reading So I watched ‘The Haunting of Helena’…
Don’t cry like a Disney princess.
So, this one time, I was no more than five years old, and I was pestering my father about something stupid.Naturally, he didn't even blink at my impossible request.I was a rather dramatic child, so I decided it would be wise to throw myself on the sofa in despair, honoring him with a quiet, but well-prepared… Continue reading Don’t cry like a Disney princess.

I’m so hot. And such.
This is a true depiction of what we feel like when you strip us off our 'hottest chick' attire at the airport. Or when you make us take of our shoes at your baby's birthday party. Or anywhere.Oh, btw, I wrote a book about a girl like this, and it's free today. Click here.

What I Learned From Writing My First Novel
This post was originally published on Writing About Writing, May 6th, 2014I like to believe that I am days away from finally wrapping up my manuscript (which doesn’t include pulling my hair over the right cover art, possible excruciating dilemmas about whether a book trailer is necessary, and also struggling night after night for a perfect synopsis).… Continue reading What I Learned From Writing My First Novel
It’s perfectly normal to roam Paris in your pajamas, right? No?
First part of Chapter Twenty Four. I had twenty pages of fictional story I invented in front of me, and no coffee to ponder over it like a respectable writer. As it was getting brighter outside, my reflection in the computer screen started to form slowly, and that’s when I saw that I still have… Continue reading It’s perfectly normal to roam Paris in your pajamas, right?

The feeling when you get the first review
You write and edit, and re-write and nibble on your nails, and then add and edit again, and you publish, and some time later, the first review arrives. It's a wonderful feeling when someone you really don't know likes your book. You don't even know what they look like, they don't know you, don't know… Continue reading The feeling when you get the first review

Publishing on Amazon KDP and Createspace, or how to not sleep properly for a few days
If you're a self-published writer, then you know what I mean. I LOVE both KDP and CS, but being new in all of this and battling spawns of Satan such as 'enter tax information even though you're not a US citizen', or 'Dear Amazon, why isn't my cover visible yet' left me looking like this… Continue reading Publishing on Amazon KDP and Createspace, or how to not sleep properly for a few days
Finished!
Well, okay, the first draft. Because however much in love I am with what it looks like now, it will need change. Butchering. Adding. Hating. And loving again.But the feeling is simply incredible. Exhilarating. It's 3 a.m where I am and I can't get used to the fact that I don't have a Word document… Continue reading Finished!
Writing. A. Novel.
So this is new. I've been writing my whole life, but I didn't expect this. A story I began, started to develop into a novel, without me knowing. It wasn't my fault! Is it normal to wake up with it and go to bed with it? Is it normal to speak your characters' dialogues while… Continue reading Writing. A. Novel.
