I’ve been on a poetry kick lately. It’s very odd, since I never considered myself a poet, but there it is – the words are coming, and I’m not going to shut off any of the creative flow that the universe chooses to gift me with. I’m getting more in touch with my spiritual side …

(con/writing life) RavenCon, privilege, and why I think going is a good thing
Posted on April 29, 2018
I spent this past weekend in Williamsburg, VA, attending RavenCon. It’s one of my favorite cons and I love going back there. Cons always recharge my batteries. I’ve got BaltiCon coming up Memorial Day weekend, and then I might not do another con until fall. Or next year, for that matter. Cons are expensive, …
(writing) Space opera is surprisingly intricate
Posted on March 25, 2018
Art by Deviant Artist sdavis75 I’m working on Seeds again today, and I found this lovely piece of art to inspire me. While it’s not precisely what The Frontier looks like, but it’s very close, and I can see this beauty sailing the Cosmic Web. Today was a lot of figuring out the gods …
(personal/writing/food/health) Yes, I can eat salads – in short, a month on Whole30 with Crohns
Posted on February 4, 2018
On January 4, 2018, I started my second attempt at a Whole30. I had made it 9 days in September before my guts rebelled, but I was determined this time (and better prepared, to be honest), and I completed the 30 day reset on February 2, 2018. I’m in the re-introduction phase now, to see …
(personal/writing/advent) Deep thoughts
Posted on January 11, 2018
Two posts in one week. Wow, I might actually be getting into a groove or something. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about writing lately. And streaks. And self-care. Shocking, I know, but bear with me, because it all ties in together. I’m still picking at the Advent story, but I’m paused as …
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 …
(personal/writing/advent) New Year brings new opportunities
Posted on January 3, 2016
It’s the beginning of a new year, and one I’m hoping is better than last year. No, one I will MAKE better than next year. I’m recommitting to several things – my goal to get healthy; my writing; and myself. Yes, I’m going to be enforcing my time to get better. I can’t …

(personal/writing) Blowing off the winter dust
Posted on April 21, 2014
You know, it’s been a LONG winter. Maybe not GRRM long, but longer than I wanted. Much longer than I wanted. But it’s finally warm out. The snow is gone and there is music in the morning when I go out. I’m still adjusting to my work schedule, but it’s getting easier. I’m not …
