So you might think this isn’t the best of times to talk about being an organized blogger when I’m borderline declaring a hiatus myself (blogging calendar? What is this, Evelina??) But I’ve been planning this post series for months, so I might as well share this with you now. Maybe some of it will be new, and some won’t, but I’m…

2017 is nearing its end, and as I read many book bloggers’ wrap-up posts, I am noticing a sad trend… Examples: “This dumpster fire year is finally ending…” “No more of this 2017 nonsense…” “Maybe 2017 will finally leave us alone with all the Twitter negativity…” And it makes me think. Okay, 2017 was not an easy year. But how…

So this is going to be one tough topic to talk about. But I think it’s time to set one thing clear for people who are misled in this community. And that thing is… A Blogger =/= An Author Wannabe This is a thing that causes me great anguish at times. We are going to be talking about our identity…

Okay, so. I really REALLY wanted to write this article. But I’ve realized that… Despite loving scifi the way I do, I haven’t read enough to make an extensive list. I mean, I’ve read a lot of scifi, but not a lot of it IS about space, apparently? So instead of making a list like you normally would, I’ll just make…
