Hey guys, my names Misty aka abbymickey24 in fanfic. I'm a mom of a 13 year old, wife, crocheter, and writer (when I can find my mojo that is). Out of the latter two, I couldn't tell you which is my favorite if asked, so I'll just tell you a little bit about both. I've …

Life
I finally managed to finish my first story for Rough Trade, but I'm not so sure I'll get very far with the second since it's almost the end of the month. Which kinda sucks, because that'll be the second time I'll not get to that particular one, but ah well. Between the heat, watching kids, …
Guest Post: I think I do too much…
I generally say yes to things before I let my rational brain step in and ruin everything, and that’s what’s happened here. I received a PM to my Author Page on Facebook asking if I was crafty. As I write paranormal mysteries featuring witches, I got the wrong end of the stick and replied in …
It’s July!
And you know what that means, right? It's Rough Trade time! Yep, I joined in again. This round is for two 20k stories, featuring Sentinels and Guides. I started off doing my NCIS fic, which wasn't what I had initially hoped to do. Alas, my plans were foiled because when I went to rewatch Avengers: …
The Art of Plotting While Painting
Hello everybody (said in the voice of Matt Bellasai from Whine About It video fame). AJ Rose here, lowering the tone of Karin's classy blog to bring you some rambling about books, reading, and my new favorite hobby, painting masterpieces... with a paint-by-numbers guide. What? I can't paint to save my life. Unless it's a …
Ramblings on Creative Expression
Hello everyone! First of all, thanks to Karin for giving me a place to ramble for a little while. I’ll do my best to make sense, but as I’m in the middle of editing a fantasy novel that’s longer than my last two books put together it’s possible I’ve just lost all ability to word. …
I Need a Nap
Or rather, I ended up taking one today. Been a while since I've needed to, but I was wiped out after kneading dough. But, at least I now have four loaves of Challah and I made scones for breakfast this morning as well. We'll just ignore the pile of dishes waiting to be done for …
Process and Product
So a bit about me. I am the mother of two now grown once precocious daughters, a 25 year veteran Head Start Teacher/Administrator, maker of theater and madrigal costumes, needle crafter, writer of prose and the occasional piece of fiction. I am an avid reader and a sometimes writer. I entered Firefly fandom, eventually found …
I Blinked
Wait, it's Sunday again? Already? I feel like it was only yesterday... okay, okay, the day before yesterday... I honestly don't know where this week has gone. Rough Trade is almost over and I have failed the 30k part of the challenge, but I'm totally okay with that because I'm liking my story. It isn't done …
Slow and Steady
Rough Trade is going slow for me. This past week has been... rough, if you'll pardon the pun, and I've been more exhausted than normal. Mostly because things like allergies acting up and trying to inhale tea (I wouldn't recommend it) taking up more than the usual spoons. So yeah, it's coming along, but not …
