Seek me? Find me here! (also, BAAACK!)

HI GUYS!!! Happy New Year!!! Whew, that was a WONderful break! I still feel like I’m playing catch-up in many areas of life, now that I’m officially married to my wonderful Wervyn and the holidays are over, but I am planning to get back into the swing of blogging and vlogging and officially writing, as well as hopefully work on some other fun projects! It’s a lot, really. In fact, listening to myself, I’m hoping I’m not gonna tap out, as I’m also looking for some freelance web design work hopefully in the new year, so wish me luck, and if any of you are praying folks, please pray for my stamina!

So if you’re interested in keeping up with me to see what I have going on, or just want to follow me on some social sites, this be the hook-up.

Twitter. I do most of my updating there first. I’ll post what I’m writing about, thinking about regarding writing, or link to any new blogs vlogs, upcoming publishing news or sales updates. It’s kinda the pulse of my empire, so stay up to date on there and you’ll be on track!
Facebook Page. It’s linked to my twitter and also includes big updates, like vlog and blog posts and I upload all pictures there and sometimes longer update posts. If you check Facebook more than Twitter, this is the one to stay connected to.
Read my blog. Here, obviously ^_^ I’ll be waxing wordier about my writing progress here, as well as writing about other writerly interests and authors I like now and then, so if you want deeper reading, check it here. Also post vlogs here.
Youtube, for vlogs! I post little slices of writing life and tea-loving, as well as personal inspiration or silly life videos.
Tumblr. Mostly for putzing around and mixing with another community, and posting updates to my scarcely-updated webcomic. And I allow myself to repost things that are relevant to nerdier interests. It’s fun

Here are some other sites I’m on:

Goodreads, for compiling lists of books I like, and eventually for keeping track of all the books I write/work on.
Pinterest. For adding pins of writerly things I find interesting or inspiring.
I also have a Podcast on Audioboo, DeviantArt, Formspring, Google+ and MySpace page (I’m kind of addicted to Social Networking sites, can you tell?), and I don’t do much on those right now, but you can check them out if you’d like.

Well, that looks like it for now! I plan to get a vlog up soon that talks about my new writing life and writing space, so stay tuned for that! I’m excited to be back, and hope I can be better on my game than ever!

Luv, Christina

Autumn Morning {a short poem}

Christina A. Nelson — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 15:20:37 +0000

Shining sun, chilly morning
Autumn came without a warning.
Sweater matched with summer shoes
Milk the last of summertime, who’s
Steamy grip has finally slipped
And let in autumn’s tingly nip.
Walk to farmer’s market square
The squash and herbs and seeds are there,
And with a parcel for my pay,
I head back home, to tuck away
Again to blankets soft and worn,
To block against the chilly morn.

Happy October, guys! Autumn is prolly my most favoritest season, so after taking a walk to the farmer’s market this morning, I felt inspired to write about it

Book Cop & Independence Day

Happy Independence Day, American readers!

In honor of this day, may I present Book Cop, from a hysterical webcomic Axe Cop.

{ VACATION }

Christina A. Nelson — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 20:17:04 +0000

Well guys, I’m taking a vacation from this blog, my vlogs and all other updateables. That’s right! I’ve taken hiatuses before, but this is a vacation. I have way too much going on in my life to focus on, and just thinking about what to vlog or post next is something I don’t need looming over me, even though I do enjoy it. I’m even having a hard time getting my writing to talk to me, so I feel that I should give the muse a break as well. I think it will be healthy! If something happens with the book, though, I’ll definitely keep you updated, but updated for updating’s sake is out. But I won’t exclude myself from FB and Twitter. I update them sparingly as is, but I want that option open if I absolutely MUST gush about something that inspired me.

So, ta ta for now! Oh, I’ll be back, but not sure when. I’m getting married in November, and everything is leading up to that, and then after that is Thanksgiving and Christmas…oh dear. But one thing’s for sure, my heart isn’t in it, and no time to focus means that I should just let it go for a while. I just feel so…thin. Like butter scraped over too much bread, as it were. And I need a holiday, a very long holiday. With maybe writing peppered in, but as a joy, not a duty.

*waves* Til we meet again!

Vlog: New Webcam/Editor test

Christina A. Nelson — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 21:58:21 +0000

Remember when I used to write blog entries on here? Yeah…. ^_^ Complicated life demands a streamlined form of communication, though I don’t at all intend to stop blogging. It’s just easier to compose and edit videos, really, though I hope when life settles down, I can get back to it!
