Life is Crazy in the Best Ways Possible

Life is Crazy in the Best Ways Possible

Hello. My name is Karen, and I’m a Blog Abandoner. I didn’t mean to! But, sure, that’s what we all say, isn’t it? We didn’t mean to disappear. We didn’t mean any of it. And, really, we could come back any time, right?? Well, what started as a busy week turned into a busy month […]

So then I said to Christian Bale…

So then I said to Christian Bale…

I’m just going to come right out and say it. I met Christian Bale last night and my brain is still not convinced that happened. He is in a new film called “Hostiles,” which is so great. I saw it in November at AFI, and really liked it a lot. So when I was invited […]

In Which I Meet Gary Oldman and Now I’m Jealous of Myself

In Which I Meet Gary Oldman and Now I’m Jealous of Myself

When the invitation popped up in my inbox, I shrugged a little and thought, “That sounds like fun.” And then I read to the end and just about fell over. I was invited to an event at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, for a press day with the craftspeople who worked on the new […]

When you’re too tired to blog and it’s James Franco’s fault (sort of)

When you’re too tired to blog and it’s James Franco’s fault (sort of)

A funny thing happened on the way to this blog. Like…three…weeks…ago… Y’all. I don’t even know what is happening right now. Life is so crazy all the time and so busy. I am seriously surviving on around 4-6 hours of sleep per night, which sounds not bad. Except that I recently downloaded this sleep tracking […]

Oh, hai, guys! How’s it going?? I’m running on like 5 hours of sleep in the past two days, so…that’s how that’s going for me. Life is just crazy right now, but in a good way. Here’s a little look: Current Book Last month I said I’m still working on “11/22/63.” And…well…yeah. I still am. […]

October Goals…Because 2017 is Seriously Almost Over

Stuff is happening, y’all! Guess what I did in September that wasn’t even actually on my list? Can you guess?? Do you want me to just tell you? I LAUNCHED A NEW PODCAST! This has been in the works for a long time. You might remember when I mentioned early last year that we were […]

I’m a Dorky Fangirl and I am Not Ashamed…Mostly

You guys. You. Guys. I am the biggest dork in the world. People don’t believe me when I say I’m socially awkward, but that’s only because they didn’t witness what happened the other night. Let me back up. Several months ago, I was sent to a press lunch with Seth Meyers ahead of the Emmy […]

If you give a mouse a fun size candy wrapper…

If you give a mouse a fun size candy wrapper…

I switched hours with a co-worker the other day because of a fun thing I got to do in the morning. Which meant I would be at work until we closed at 8 PM. Because I was just going to have to turn around and be here at 7 AM the next morning, I spent […]

My Job is Getting in the Way of My Career

My Job is Getting in the Way of My Career

I’m a writer. Always have been. As a kid, I spent many class periods sitting hunched over my desk, writing stories and not paying attention to my teachers. I’m sure my less-than-stellar GPA was a coincidence. My main area of interest used to be fiction. I spent hours upon hours writing short stories and attempting […]

“If you don’t know where you’re going…”

September 7, 2017 by Karen M. Peterson 4 Comments

“If you don’t know where you’re going…”

“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” I know where I’m going. At least I do for now. Which means I need a map to get there, and that’s where goals come from, eh? You guys. It’s September. It’s like a full week into September. Can you believe it’s […]
