REMEMBER THE LIEBSTER AWARD? I'VE BEEN NOMINATED ONCE AGAIN, this time by my friend Emer from A Little Haze Book Blog. Emer is super nice, VERY well-read, and stans Star Wars. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT IN A BLOGGER? A quick description of the award: “The Liebster Award is an award that exists only on the… Continue reading The Liebster Award II
Welcome! You made it! I started this blog as a "portfolio" for "serious writing" (per some professional advice that would have better suited someone else.) Over the years, Narrative Paradise morphed into a book blog...of sorts. I don't write book reviews (very often) or participate in reading challenges. I DO post book tags and gush… Continue reading An introduction
A million thanks for this tag go to Jenna, one of the most positive bloggers I've ever (virtually) met. Her book reviews will want to make you read whatever she's reading. If you haven't visited her blog before, go now. I'll wait. Welcome back. Here are the rules for this tag: Thank the person who gave… Continue reading The Versatile Blogger Award
Aw yeah. Look at this beautiful award. I was tagged by the always-wonderful Jenna at Bookmark Your Thoughts. She updated her graphics recently - go admire the new layout! I copy-and-pasted the award basics from Jenna's site: "'Liebster' is a German word meaning beloved, dearest, sweetheart, or darling. For bloggers, the Liebster Award is… Continue reading The Liebster Award
Won't lie, didn't love 2018. Maybe the year wasn't a total lost cause, because of new friends and growth experiences and improved health, but I sure hated living through it. Different things influenced my year in big ways and I want to sum them up: I quit my job I finally got out of… Continue reading Lauren’s 2018 Retrospective
Technically, this is a Thanksgiving tag. I don't do Thanksgiving. I celebrate with my family, but I don't care much about gourds or the color brown. However, the new year starts next Tuesday. High time to turn introspective! I'm using this tag to look back on my reading year...and possibly as an excuse to rant… Continue reading Giving Thanks Book Tag: Goodbye 2018 Edition
NANOWRIMO IS UPON US. My plan at the beginning of last month was to announce a month-long hiatus so I could work on a novel for the next 30 days. Now I'm not so sure. I have an idea for a novel that I've worked on before. I planned to do a grand restart last… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month
This is not an advice post. I've been thinking about my creative process since a fallout with a writing partner in 2016. I come to most writing advice with the question, "Is this something that works for me?" Though my process for fiction is a bit different, this post covers how I write most of… Continue reading How I Blog: My Creative Process
To those who follow the blog: After 3 years of writing on Procrastination as a Creative Force, I'm changing the name. Why? Peoples eyes glaze over when I tell them the name of my blog. It's too wordy and confusing. It has nothing to do with what I actually write. It differs from my domain… Continue reading Blog Name Change
