Absence

Hello, everyone. I'm writing to you from a Starbucks in a town I'm unfamiliar with, because my family is in the middle of a move. Our plans for where we would live were spoiled by local zoning laws, so we decided to pack up and move somewhere entirely different.This was some odd months ago. Since then we've spent every moment fixing up the house to sell and looking for a new place to live. We had...

I Got a Job (Yay!) and Then the Stomach Flu (Boo!)

I know I've been a bit inactive on Mibba lately, but I actually have good excuses this time. I finally got a job, although I kind of cheats because it's a construction job at my dad's self-owned company. Still, it's helping pay for the wedding which is rapidly approaching. Only 15 more days, and I am insanely nervous. So much can go wrong! But I'm hoping everything will be perfect and...

Happy September, Everyone!

Wow, so it’s been awhile since I posted a blog, huh? Sorry about that, I’ve been in a bit of a daze since my RHIT exam and I’m not sure why. I passed it with flying colors and have applied at a few jobs; I even had my first job interview. It’s been three weeks and I haven’t heard anything, though, so I’m thinking I didn’t get it.On a more positive note, I’m getting married in five...

My Exam Is in Four Hours

Two years ago today, I started my first day of college to be an HIT professional and today I take my RHIT exam. I totally didn't know the exam would fall on the anniversary of my having starting college, but what a nice coincidence. I'm not sure how it bodes for me, but I'm hoping it's a good sign. It's a big relief that they give you your results as soon as your done, so I don't have to wait...

AWOL

Just wanted to extend a quick apology to any of my readers who have been saiting for me to update. I dropped the ball and it's been almost two weeks since I update, so I'm sorry about that. I've already written the next chapter for As We Fade in the Dark and Your History of Silence, which I will post sometime tonight hopefully.Also, just had to tell somebody, I watched Sia's video for Electric...

First Person vs. Third Person

So I’m planning a Bucky Barnes story and I’m having a bit of a dilemma with the point of view. I’ve only ever written in third person, which makes more sense because all of my stories feature multiple characters acting as narrator.But this story is going to be different. This story will be purely from one character’s perspective and I was thinking I might try my hand at first person from...

I'd Love Some Feedback

Hey, guys. So I've been on Mibba for about two months now. I've made some pretty good friends and entered some contests. I even got runner up in one of them :) Thanks to She Said Poptarts for that one!Anyway, I've got several stories going on and a couple of them are struggling. In particular, my Bert McCracken story. I've already got a story in the Comment Swap thread, so I can't submit it there....

Good Hogwarts Stories

I'm in the mood to read a really good Hogwarts Story. It doesn't matter if it involves the book characters or not, but I'm having a hard time finding a really good one that's more than just a few chapters. It would be especially nice if there was one that started in the first year instead of a "transferred to hogwarts from America." There's nothing wrong with that plot line, but it's just not what...

More News About My Story!

OMG OMG OMG, Mibba recommended my story, Sweethearts, on Tumblr! I was just scrolling through Tumblr when my story popped up! *runs around like a kid in a candy shop* The tags say romance rec, and I just can’t freaking believe I stumbled across it or that it’s even up there!…this is probably one of those things I shouldn’t get so excited about, but I just don’t care. I’m too freaking...

One of My Stories Is on the Mibba Homepage!

I know that having a story on the homepage isn’t really a big deal, but I still find it kind of exciting. Last night I updated four of my stories and I feel super accomplished and this morning it was nice not feeling guilty for being lazy or stressing over how long it’s been since I wrote a chapter or two. It feels good.Oh, and if any of you guys wanna give my stories a read (and a nice...

Whoops. Sorry, Guys.

Hello, all. I’ve had such a busy week so far that I forgot to do my Monday blog. The second week I got two of my bridesmaids their dresses, which just leaves one – and we have plans to go get hers next Monday. It’s really a relief to me. Also we finally, FINALLY booked our cake tasting and arranged a meeting with who will hopefully be our florist. We also picked our linens and decorations...

Sexism Within the Family

My mother is the most debilitating person in my life. She hates to do things for herself. I do not share this sentiment with her: I guess I take more after my dad. My big problem lately, though, is that she is constantly forcing the concept of gender roles on me. I have a few examples from the past couple of days.So, yesterday, Dad had to leave town for work and didn't have time to put new tires...

Monday #2

Memorial MondayWow, it doesn’t seem like a week since I started Mibba. It seems so much longer, ha ha. Especially since my mom gave me her iPad and now I can check it without sitting at the desktop computer.This week was better than the week before, boredom-wise. I did have a mild stomach flu and went a whole day without eating anything but a handful of Saltines. I planned out the next few...

Disclaimers & Whatnot

Hello, Mibbaverse. I’ve been reading a lot of stories around the site and seeing a lot of different things. Most of all, I’m noticing a lot of story summaries with disclaimers. I never thought about it before, but should I be including disclaimers in my stories as well? I mean, it makes sense but it also makes since that I shouldn’t have to because the story is clearly marked as a...

Homemade Rice Krispie Treats: An Experiment Gone Wrong

So, another day, yet another blog. Seriously, for a writing website Mibba is distracting me from writing a whole lot, ha ha.Anyway, I was browsing the Tutorials and saw a recipe for Homemade Rice Krispie Treats. My fiancé adores Rice Krispie Treats, so I thought I would try this one out to surprise him when he got home. The recipe was great, but I learned that I am a total airhead while making...

Absolute Panic

Wow, okay, so I just spent about three hours writing up a timeline for one of the stories I’m working on. To put it simply, it was 9-point font and took up two entire pages. When I hit PRINT, a message popped up saying my printer was offline, so I turned it off and on again. While I waited for it to start up, I went ahead and clicked SAVE AS. The Save page came up but before I could do anything...

Between College and Career...

Last week was weird.I graduated from a two-year program at community college the Friday previously and I had no idea what to do with myself. Seriously. I applied for college the same day I graduated high school. I spent a month looking for a job, filling out financial aid, looking for a car, and then college classes started. I haven’t had an idle week since.Until last week. My college takes a...

Welcome to Mibba

So today is my third day on Mibba, and I sincerely hope that the people who run this site don’t track what pages I go to and when – that would be embarrassing. I’m constantly back and forth between the forums and the Knowledge Base.I’ve started a couple of stories and made some layouts. Some people sent me messages and left me comments. I even received an offer to do a co-write, which I...
