It’s getting to be that time of year again, after all. Yes, there WILL be a Carter’s Cove story this year. But I’m doing other things as well. I’ve just sent out a short story to a magazine for consideration, and I will be doing more short stories in the future. It’s an interesting exercise, …

(writing/personal) Sunday updates
Posted on October 1, 2017
Today is the first day of October. This year has seemed to fly by, and yet it’s been the longest year of my life. I’m told that grief is like that. Today is also the 10th day in a row that I’ve written on Advent. I’ve got an accountability buddy, and it’s really working. …
(creative/sca) 100 Days of A & S
Posted on August 12, 2017
I’m totally stealing this idea from my friend Sue Young, who put it up on her blog. Also, you should follow her blog, because she’s amazing. But basically, the challenge was set up to do 100 straight days of doing at least 10 minutes a day of Arts & Sciences in the SCA, and I’ve …
(writing/personal) Updates of all kinds
Posted on April 9, 2017
Today is a writing day, and that’s a good thing. I need to get back to a routine before I go back to work in a month, and I need to get this book done. I’ve also done a few housekeeping things that I wanted to let people know about. I’m deleting my LiveJournal …
Writing and news
Posted on March 5, 2017
I’ve been thinking a lot about story, and life, and how our choices define us lately. I suppose it’s not surprising, given everything that’s happened lately. We’re coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my mother’s death, and I knew that was going to be hard. But I didn’t realize how hard it …
Birka, Birka, Birka.
Posted on January 29, 2017
As I write this, Birka 2017 is now in the books. For those of you who don’t recognize the name, Birka is the big winter event that the Barony of Stonemarche runs every year, and it’s basically a con masquerading poorly as an event. There’s food, there’s a hotel, there’s a hot tub, there’s …
Healthy attempt number god knows
Posted on January 11, 2017
Ah, January. That wonderful time of the year where everyone wants to get healthy. And yeah, I’m totally one of them. I really just decided that I wasn’t going to worry about more than getting through the holidays this year. I survived them. I didn’t go over my highest weight from last year, although …
(writing/personal) Pokemon Go!
Posted on July 11, 2016
Yes, I’ve gotta catch them all too. It’s fun, and I need some fun in my life. Besides, it’s something hubby and I can do together. And it’s good for us. I’m Team Yellow (aka Instinct) and if you want to find me, I’m CassieHobbes. I’m also recommitting to writing (again). I’ve discovered …
(writing) Ponderings
Posted on June 26, 2016
I took the first three chapters (okay, two chapters and an interlude, if you want to get picky) of Darkness Falls to my writing group yesterday, and they liked it, for the most part, but they had some interesting ideas, and I’m going to be incorporating them going forward. So not as many split chapters …
(personal) Home again
Posted on June 7, 2016
I’m mourning my black kitty today. Sebastian got out Wednesday night, and although Brian found him Saturday night, he was frightening dehydrated and died early Monday morning. Sadly, before I got home from ConCarolinas. It’s been a pretty sucky year for me in terms of death. My grandmother died in August 2015, my …
