Moving on and settling down…all at once
I Made Something Up!Posted by beth on September 10, 2010
I’ve always thought writing fiction was hard, and the advice I got about it never helped. It was always one of two things: Just make stuff up. It’s all about characters. Just make up characters. Both easier said than done, unfortunately, although they sound simple enough. I could never figure out why it was so [...]

Prepare YourselvesPosted by beth on August 18, 2010
I know it looks like I’m just not blogging as much lately, but what’s really happening is that I’m giving you extra time to prepare yourselves for the awesomeness that’s about to come your way. That’s right, friends. I’ve found the USB cord for my camera, so I’ve just uploaded LOTS and lots of amazing [...]
Hey Thursday, I like you.Posted by beth on August 12, 2010
It’s been a good day so far. I woke up after dreaming that I was at an art camp. I think I dreamed this because I read this last night before I went to bed. Anyhoe, I was at this art camp, and I needed supplies, and then I stumbled across a supply room that [...]
“I am,” I said.Posted by beth on July 23, 2010
I live in a musical, if only in my own mind. There’s always a song playing in my head, always a lyric to fit the occasion, and if I had my way, we’d all burst into spontaneous, choreographed dance in the streets daily. The weather (natural lighting) would also fit our moods, and our outfits [...]
The Story of My LifePosted by beth on July 19, 2010
It’s a good thing I’m not a people-pleaser, because I feel like I am constantly letting someone down with all my coming and going. I leave Raleigh, and people are sad. I go back to Raleigh, and people in Asheville threaten to lock me in a closet because they don’t want to lose me. I [...]
What Would You Do (oo-ooo) With a Time Machine?Posted by beth on June 24, 2010
I realized this morning that I’ve been neglecting my questions lately. I’m trying to find a balance between answering those and just telling you fun stories about what’s happening. For the most part, there aren’t a lot of fun stories about what’s happening because my days are spent sitting on my couch, writing articles, and [...]
Virginia Is for DancersPosted by beth on June 22, 2010
Lovers schmovers. I went to Virginia last weekend to see my friend Rachel and her daughter (my goddaughter), Annabelle. Annabelle turned 5 last week, so we had a birthday party, and it just so happened that her dance recital was the same weekend, so I got to go to that too. It was ridiculously cute. [...]
Things That Happened TodayPosted by beth on June 16, 2010
I cut a jerk off (because he was being a jerk) at 3 mph. He honked at me to show his dissatisfaction. He then turned on his bright lights, I can only assume, to prove once again that he was a jerk. On the side of the freeway, I saw one of those big, cylindrical [...]
Twitter ExperimentPosted by beth on June 15, 2010
I’m writing an article for YourDictionary entitled “Who Is Jimmy Fallon’s Wife?” I love writing these who’s-married-to-whom articles because there’s always a love story involved, and I just think that’s precious. Unfortunately, not much of J.Fal’s love story is online. And yes, I just nicknamed him J.Fal. What of it? So I just tweeted, “I [...]
