Most of these posts are purely biographical in nature, but can shed light on what inspires Toi’s writing and tend to be quite entertaining. As of October 2015, these posts have all been combined under the About Me label.

Top 5: 09 – Movies

This is a list of my top five something. Most of the time my lists are pretty static, but sometimes I do change my mind. While I do try to apply some logic to my choices, sometimes I pick things that make no sense and for no good reason other than “I like it.”

Movies
1. Star Wars Episode IV
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. Batman 1989
4. Love Actually
5. Princess Bride & Clue (a tie)
-Honorable Mention- Die Hard (the 1st one)

This is really hard for me because I enjoy so many movies so much. Needless to say, you’ll be seeing tons of lists pertaining to movies down the road.

A Day in My Life: Feb. ’14: The Not-so-sweet Life

dayNlife

You may or may not find this surprising, but as a writer I’ve never been much of a journaler (I like making up words). I’ve always kept writing, sketching, and poetry notebooks, but I’ve never really liked writing about myself. This monthly post is my attempt at rectifying that and is an opportunity for me to get a little personal, as I share a single event from my life.

February 2014 – The not-so-sweet life

So here’s the truth of the matter.

My life is very uneventful. I go to my day job, I come home and write, and I try to spend time with my family when I can. There’s been quite a bit of sadness and sickness going around lately and I’ve been less than thrilled with the result of my book launch. I’m proud of my book and the dozen or so people who’ve read it seem to like it. I’m moving forward with the sequel and am seeking beta readers for it now.

As for a day in my life, I just ate some of the best macarons on the planet. I got them from a little bakery service called: Hummingbird Macarons. So I guess there is a little something sweet happening in my world right now.
