New projects and new goodies for my readers! I unveiled this on Facebook earlier today, but now I’ll share with you guys. I’ve taken a challenge up to self-publish 12 of my short stories, one each month. The lovely JA Marlow designed this month’s cover for Convoy, which is a short story set in a world …

(health/personal) Not letting the stress get the better of me
Posted on September 23, 2013
Part of the reason I write this page every week is to remind myself of what I’m trying to do. Yeah, I know, Yoda said to either do, or do not – there is no try, but honestly, I’m human, not a Jedi Master, and I have to try. Because more often than not lately, …
(health/food/personal) A new week, and more food!
Posted on September 16, 2013
Happy Monday, folks! I think I’ve FINALLY got this cold on the run – I actually took Saturday off and RESTED. Well, I wrote, but I could do that from the couch. Sunday I felt so much better! Ate real food, did chores, and wrote. This is going to be a good food week. …
(health/personal) Back from vacation!
Posted on September 9, 2013
Yep, I was on vacation for the past week, which is why I didn’t post. I was actually planning on posting, but after Harper’s Retreat, I got sick. I think it was a combination of stress (running an event, even a successful one, is stressful) and the fact that allergies are killing me, and poor …
(health) Thoughts on stress
Posted on August 26, 2013
I’m under a lot of stress at the moment. I’ll be honest – it’s mostly self-inflicted. I’m autocratting (running, for those not familiar with SCA terms) a fairly large event Labor Day weekend called Harper’s Retreat, and the week before the event is always nerve-racking to me. There’s SO much that needs to be done, …
(health/personal/writing) One week in!
Posted on June 6, 2013
Today is Day 7 of going completely gluten-free and mostly sugar-free. It’s been an interesting journey. Weighed in this morning at 277.8 lbs, so up a little, but that’s okay. It’s been hard, I won’t lie. Drank Coke on Saturday, had sushi with non-GF soy sauce on Tuesday, and an ice cream cone on …
(personal/health) Day 1 of the 21-day Sugar Detox
Posted on May 30, 2013
So, today’s blog post (and the posts for the next 3 weeks) are going to be heavy on food and health things. Be warned. I’ve decided that I’m going to do a 21-day challenge to myself of eating mostly Paleo (I say mostly, because I’m not giving up rice or potatoes yet. I need …
(writing/to-do/health) Thoughts on the eve of a long weekend
Posted on May 22, 2013
So, I’ve been back to work on the Day Job for three half-days. Today, I’m exhausted (although I don’t know if it’s because of the two hours at the dentist today to repair a broken tooth or just low stamina), but I have the next FIVE days off, so I’ll be able to sleep in, …
(personal) Musings on birthdays and life
Posted on April 1, 2013
It’s my birthday today. Today is the last time I will celebrate a birthday in my 30s – next year is the big 4-0. I was talking to my new doctor on Thursday and you know, I don’t FEEL like I’m staring 40 in the face. I don’t even feel 30. I look at myself, …
