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 …

(goals/writing/personal) Looking towards the future
Posted on January 8, 2017
It’s a new year. I’ve already started to do things a little differently – set up a new theme here on the blog, and added a button at the top of the page so you can follow me on Patreon if you’d like. There will be new stuff on the Patreon coming soon, as I’m …
(writing) I need to write Sapph
Posted on March 8, 2016
Damn, I need to write more ghost stories. Really. In my spare time.
(writing) On grooves and getting into them.
Posted on February 28, 2016
It’s Sunday, which has become a writing/editing day for me. There is a wonderful bookstore/cafe in my hometown called Gibson’s Bookstore, that has become one of my favorite places around. I even saw John Scalzi speak here! (It was cool. I was sick, so I stayed away from him, but it was VERY cool. Yes, I’m …
(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 …
(writing/personal) blowing the dust out of the corners
Posted on August 19, 2015
Good thing that it’s only electronic dust, because lord, there is a lot of it! I have been dealing with depression, family illness, and stress, so I haven’t been writing. Or blogging. Or really doing anything, to be honest. And I don’t know that the stress is going away soon, so I’m trying to pick …
Ramblings
Posted on June 13, 2015
This might not be of interest to most people, as I’m using it as kind of a catchall of what’s in my head right now. My brain is responding well to 250 words a day (about to hit Day 4 in a few, and I even managed 250 last night on the tablet, because I …
(writing) Words! And other things!
Posted on April 20, 2015
Quick update, because it’s late and I’m tired. :p But I’ve been quiet here too long. I’ve given up for the moment on writing in the mornings – I’m just not a morning person, and there’s not enough tea in the world to change that, sadly. But I have a studio, and I’ve always …
(writing/personal/advent) Not dead yet!
Posted on March 23, 2015
I seem to use that a lot as a title. That’s not a good thing. But I’m not dead, and I’m still writing. I’ve finished the first draft of Winter’s Secrets, which is the rewrite of the first Advent blog story. I’m letting it marinate until April, when I’m going to do my …
(personal/writing/depression) It’s been a long winter.
Posted on March 1, 2015
I know, it’s still a long way until spring, but seriously, I feel like I’m trapped in George RR Martin’s Game of Thrones world. Between the depression and the SAD and the god-awful snow (seriously, there’s been like 60 inches of snow in the past month!), I feel like I’m smothered in cotton. So what …
