About Me

  • Having traveled and lived in many states across the US, Laurine Bruder finally settled in the upper midwest of Wisconsin.  Growing up as a bisexual Pagan in a small Church town wasn't always easy, but it certainly gave her eye-opening views of what the world could be like.  And yet, she still clings to that eternal hope that there is good left in mankind.  It just needs to be brought to the surface.  Laurine was given the nickname of Ree (also her writing moniker) by her first community of online friends, whom she will always be thankful for.  The nickname has ...

  • NaNoWriMo Update 4

    November 23, 2008

    • Well here we go, the final week of NaNo and I'm only at 35k!  Considering the official winning starts in 3 days, I've really gotta put my nose to the grindstone.  I'm so close to finishing up, I can just taste it!  Oh, and here's the excerpt in my novel that I posted on the site.  It's probably my favorite scene to date!((Warning for Language and Blood)) “Get your ass over here Simon so I ...

  • NaNoWriMo Update 3

    November 21, 2008

    • Well, you know that feeling you get when you've finally hit a breakthrough after running into a wall?  I do, and I love that feeling.  I guess I just had to be inspired to take this book to the next level.  I completely rewrote the first big fight scene in my novel and I am so happy with it, wow.  I really think it's possible that I'm going to hit 50k by the end of next week.  Nine days ...

  • NaNoWriMo Update 2

    November 18, 2008

    • You know that block that people tend to hit in week 2 of NaNo?  I think I've finally been hit by it.  I've barely written anything today and had to settle for just typing up some stuff in my notebook to improve my word count.  My notebook is sitting there, calling to me, but I just feel so burnt out on this story.  I could really use a pep talk or something...*Chuckles*  Wish me luck, this ...

  • Scathing Twilight Review Part 1

    November 17, 2008

    • All right, before I start this review let me note: my rants/reviews tend to go all over the place. With this, I will TRY to keep things concise, but no promises. For another, I have read Twilight cover to cover. Twice. No skimming, no skipping, but have actually read and absorbed the entire book. This review is for the first book. Not for the entire series. But there will be more reviews to come ...

  • I Usually Don't Rant on Books, But...

    A Mary Sue can mean different things to different people, but basically it serves as the author's self-insertion or wish-fulfillment character.  The author makes this person so special, so unique,
