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/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 …
(blog tour) So I’m a little behind…
Posted on May 18, 2016
But in my defense, I was sick. The last week before my Remicade treatment is always rough for me, and since I’m preparing for a con and a book launch at the same time, well…yeah. But the blog tour marched on without me! Monday, I was over at KT Bryski’s blog talking about music. …
(writing) Updates and a blog tour
Posted on May 8, 2016
(above image from The Daily Tea) It’s about two and a half weeks before I leave for Balticon and ConCarolinas, and I’m starting to get a little (okay, a lot) panicky. I’m busy writing blog posts for the upcoming blog tour for Winter’s Secret, which starts on May 16th! Since that’s about a week away, I realized …
(writing) The importance of schedules
Posted on April 24, 2016
It’s a Sunday, which means I’m down at Gibson’s Bookstore, writing. It’s a habit we (by we, I mean the other crazies writers that meet with me) started during NaNoWriMo this past November, and we’ve continued to meet every Sunday since then. We started with four of us – now we’re up to eight, and have …
(writing/personal) Blog tour! Blog tour! Eek!
Posted on April 23, 2016
How do you find time to write? What do you listen to while you write? Where do your ideas come from? Do you have any rituals? What’s your favorite book/author? These are all the things that are swirling through my mind right now, because I’m starting to work on the blog posts for …
(writing) Taking the leap
Posted on April 20, 2016
Well, I’ve been talking about it for a while, and I’ve finally taken the plunge. I’ve signed up for Patreon. You can sign up for my stream here. Now, to allay any fears – I will still be posting here too. And the Advent Story will still be here in December every year. …
(personal/writing) Working through the grief
Posted on March 28, 2016
The picture above is 4 generations of my family, taken four years ago (I believe). Since then, my grandmother (on the left) passed away two months before her 99th birthday, and just this past Tuesday, my mother passed away, barely 2 months past her 65th birthday. I won’t lie – it’s been a …
(writing) I need to write Sapph
Posted on March 8, 2016
Damn, I need to write more ghost stories. Really. In my spare time.
