December 3 – Old Man Winter Molly and Schrodinger felt the memory fall away from them, and then they were back in the present. Who was that? Schrodinger asked her. I don’t know, Molly replied. Maybe it doesn’t really matter? We can look and see later. Sue might know. Sue Elder ran the Carter’s Cove …

Advent 2021 – December 2
Posted on December 2, 2021
December 2 – Jack Frost Molly blinked, and she was back in the town square. Jade’s snowflake glimmered at the top of the tree, just like it had in the…memory? Molly shook her head. Maybe I was just caught up in the story. You and me both, Schrodinger said, pressing against her leg as if …
Advent 2021- December 1
Posted on December 1, 2021
December 1: The Snow Queen Jade lifted her right hand, and a beautiful snowflake glimmered into existence. “I have given out one of these every year at the Ball, to a person who I feel needs it. But the very first snowflake I created for a tree was not given to a person. It was …
Advent 2021 – Day Zero
Posted on November 30, 2021
November 30 “What’s this?” Molly McIntyre stepped into the kitchen, shaking snow from her hair as she did so. It had been snowing for a few hours, but that hadn’t stopped Zette from dropping off the mail. Now, she showed her husband Drew the elegant white and silver envelope that had come with the other …
Contemplating the future
Posted on February 28, 2021
I started my morning pages today. I actually woke up, went downstairs, and did my pages with a steaming cup of tea and the sounds of my Deep Focus playlist. The only thing missing was a candle, but that’s fine. As I clean, I’m going to be putting all the candles together so that I …
Coming out of Covid sleep
Posted on February 24, 2021
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been here – a long time. But Covid has left me isolated and feeling too…off to write. And let’s be honest – it wasn’t just Covid. It was the entire world sort of falling apart on me for a while. I retreated into myself. I worked …
A long slow wakening to another year
Posted on March 8, 2020
February and March are hard months for me. There’s reminders all around of the people I’ve lost, and the fact that those months in New Hampshire are usually cold, dark, and either dripping grey or spitting snow doesn’t help. We sprang ahead today, and the sun is shining, and I’m feeling a little more optimistic. …
A new year
Posted on January 5, 2020
I’ve been very quiet here lately. The holidays are rough now – between the deaths of my mother (who adored Christmas) and my husband (who didn’t like commercial aspects of Christmas but loved the family aspects), I’m not really in the mood to celebrate anymore. It was a quiet Christmas and Thanksgiving, and that’s what …
(writing) Pondering
Posted on April 25, 2019
I’ve taken the year off from writing cons. Not because I don’t like them (let’s be honest, I adore cons), but because I have other things that my vacation time is going towards, and because really, lately, I’m feeling like I’m not doing enough to justify the expense of going to cons. And yes, I …
(writing/personal) Finding Time to Finish
Posted on April 16, 2019
Today is PG Holyfield’s birthday. It’s also a day that I’m at my day job, the day after taxes were due, and I’m reading my newest Writer’s Digest on my breaks. I adore Writer’s Digest. I read through them eagerly and there’s usually a lot of good information in them. Today, though, one article hits …
