Rec me thriller sci fi books about giant monsters eating humans. Or some lost world is discovered and humans get eaten.

preferably not part of a series. Also, if the monsters come from the ocean, that’d be cool.

Had my dissertation defense yesterday morning. Now I’m Dr. Tigriswolf.

so Hurricane Ida happened

i lost power around 9:30 pm on Sunday; got it back sometime last night. everyone in my immediate circle lost power at some point but only my parents and lilsis still don't have any. my uncle has a bunch of branches and limbs in his yard but none on his house. fences, powerlines, trees, signs -- stuff is down everywhere. 

and it was only Cat2 winds here. 

my parents had a very tall, somewhat large, dying tree removed from their yard this summer. if they hadn't... 

and let's not forget, there's still a fucking pandemic and fuckheads who trust facebook hearsay and clickbait over science and think they can control women's wombs while not wearing a mandated mask. 

*sigh* 

2021, you haven't been much improvement over 2020, i gotta say.

so i have a book now

2021-05-10T20:03:12Z

hey, long time!

so, i have a book coming out soon! See here.

so, i’m reading Black Book of Poems and i haven’t been this frustrated with poetry since the first time i read Milton. i keep having to pause and roll my eyes, and i do not understand all the rave reviews. these poems are so forced! so trite! i feel like i wrote this kind of stuff as a preteen, and then i feel guilty for feeling like that, but seriously.

all the rhyming. ALL THE RHYMING. every single poem so far has rhymed, for fuck’s sake. SO MUCH FORCED RHYMING.

i’m gonna finish it, if only so i can add it to my book log. (which, yes, i am keeping again. 17 so far!)

and, to be fair, there are some good lines in here. they’re just difficult to find because of all the R H Y M I N G.

so, i’m gonna submit a manuscript to a poetry competition. I have 2: one for general poetry and one for fairy tales. I like them both equally, so I need help deciding which to submit.

anyone wanna read ‘em and discuss with me?

My cat Anakin has been having some health issues that bewildered our regular vet and the specialist they sent us to; the specialist sent us to another specialist, who finally diagnosed the problem. For the past few weeks, I've given him multiple medication multiple times a day and none of it made a difference.

He has feline infectious peritonitis, the dry kind. He'll live a few months at most.

He's not even two years old.

So, I’m going to finish my lit review today. Got 13 books to add and then I need to arrange it cohesively.

One of the books, I’ve written two papers about. So I went back to those papers. I’m going to post part of one on my tumblr. It’s about the fire.

As a starving grad student, I’m ever in need of funds.

So, if anyone needs an editor or proofreader, I have over five years of experience as a professional editor, a BA in English, and an MA in Education. If any of y’all know of someone who could use an editor, I’ve created a flyer with basic info. Drop me a line and I’ll email it to you.

so i’ll be making a presentation in my writing class about how to use fanfiction for creative writing and student engagement

anyone got a quote for me about how fanfiction helped them learn to write / encouraged them / anything else along these lines?

Query:

2018-04-06T15:48:08Z

Have any of my fics/poems ever made you cry? If so which? Why?

So I’m reading Dewey’s Art as Experience. Dewey says, “A work of art no matter how old and classic is actually, not just potentially, a work of art only when it lives in some individualized experience.”

Query: is art art if no one is there to appreciate it?

Query: does art lose some of its artness when the context of its original creation is gone?

I’m pretty sure he’s arguing no to the first and yes to the second, and I’m really pretty sure I’m not sure that I agree.
