Ally Cat with a Pen: September 2014
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Sunday, September 28, 2014. New Look, Same Great Taste! While I'm quite sure no one's actually wondered at the taste of any. Blog, let alone mine, the title is at least half true; for anyone paying attention and keeping up with things here, this blog does indeed have a new name. Not a new look theme-wise, at least not yet. Don't know if I'll be changing that or not - I kinda like it the way it is. That's about it for this update. Ta for now! Sunday, September 14, 2014. I'm a firm bel...

Ally Cat with a Pen: Photo Moment
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2015/08/photo-moment.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Monday, August 3, 2015. My new, temporary office space! It's actually set up in a corner of my dining room, but still. It's the first time I've actually had the space set up in a way that I'm actually pretty happy with. And yes, that is a piece of luggage sitting beneath the artwork. I'll be filling it up and preparing for travel very soon! My passport should be arriving any day now, so it'll soon be time to book a flight and get ready to head out! Miscellaneous objects in photographs.

Ally Cat with a Pen: I Don't Even Know Anymore
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-dont-even-know-anymore.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Friday, July 3, 2015. I Don't Even Know Anymore. So one of these days I really should learn consistency. Clearly today is not that day. In the meantime, here's an update on all the craziness that is my life lately. Did I mention that my fiance was flying in? I'll have to go back and check my previous posts. Well anyway, my fiance did indeed fly in from London for a three week visit. She only just left three days ago. During that all-too-brief time, a lot has happened. Im hoping that ...

Ally Cat with a Pen: February 2015
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Thursday, February 26, 2015. On the Thoughts of the Sculptor. A weird little piece I just wrote while thinking of a class assignment. I don't know exactly what I was thinking when I wrote it, but here it is;. They are trapped in the stone, as we are trapped in life. I can see them. I must free them. Others must be allowed to see them as I do. They must be freed. Some would call it incomplete, but it is what I have seen. It is enough. Sunday, February 22, 2015. She woke up on the floo...

Ally Cat with a Pen: The Woman Behind the Pen
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. The Woman Behind the Pen. Gamer Writer. College student. One of these is false. Pretty sure you can figure out which one. No, I am not actually an international best-selling author. I am, however, all the rest of those things. And while I do hope to one day be published, I don't really expect or care to be a best-selling author. Sure, who wouldn't. Want to make enough money to do nothing but write all the time, right? But I'm realistic enough to know that it'll likely never happen.

Ally Cat with a Pen: Nearing the Finish Line
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2015/04/nearing-finish-line.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Nearing the Finish Line. The grade for the essay due last Thursday was just posted this morning (she's late again, but we'll put that aside for now). I got a 54 out of 60. Now, she claims that she doesn't grade based on opinion, so that means she thinks I made six points worth of grammatical errors? All semester, I've only had one. Grammatical issue pointed out to me in my essays. Just one. And now suddenly she's found enough to dock me six points? In other n...

Ally Cat with a Pen: March 2015
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Untitled Project, Part 5. Well, it's Sunday again, and that means another chapter of the UCP! They’d finished nearly half the bucket before Tyler decided it was enough for him to start talking. 8220;I know you have questions,” he began, “So do I. So here’s how it works; for every question of mine that you answer, I’ll answer one of yours.”. Was he making a game of it? Why not just answer questions and move on? Why make a ‘system’ out of it at all? If he didn...

Ally Cat with a Pen: October 2014
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Of Writing and Knowing Characters. With NaNoWriMo right around the corner, it's time to get ready for a lot of writing. Maybe you've spent the previous month planning everything down to the last detail, or maybe you just wrote down a few notes about the main idea of your novel. Either way, when the clock strikes midnight on November 1, it'll be time to take those notes and details and put them to good use. I also consider the piece to be one possible outcom...

Ally Cat with a Pen. Monday, July 6, 2015. Five Characters Who Should Be In Your Novel. While digging through some writing boards on Pinterest, I found a link to an infographic about the five people who should be in your novel. It was pretty basic stuff; the protagonist, the antagonist, the sidekick, etc. Obviously we know that there needs to be a protagonist and antagonist; otherwise who's story is it and what's the point? The fifth character was the love interest. If your story involves romance, great&...

Ally Cat with a Pen: January 2015
http://allycatwriting.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Ally Cat with a Pen. Thursday, January 22, 2015. Write Your Own Future. I've been collecting inspiring and encouraging messages lately, surrounding myself in all things positive. Inspired by this post. I've discovered my mantra for this year:. Write your own future.". But I'm done with that now. Now I'm surrounding myself with people and things that want. I'm not the next of them, I am the first of me.". I can write my own future. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. And no, that's not a military reference. Everyt...
