Towards the end of January I turned in the last round of deep edits on a project that I had been working on semi-unexpectedly for about two months, referenced in my last post. I promptly felt like falling down and sleeping for ten days, despite the fact that I had just come back from vacation... Continue Reading →
Odds and ends
Hello, humans! I debated about doing a MystiCon recap here because I have been...very much feeling like taking a nap. Like really, a nap would be great.

I'm a little late this time, which is on brand for 2019. You'll remember from my six month post that things were kind of all over... Continue Reading →

Four of my favorite Halloween movies. What are your favorites?
The invisible price of creating
It's impossible to make something from nothing. I spend a lot of time feeling guilty for things. It's one of my flaws, and like many flaws it can also be a strength. It's good to know what your impacts on others are, and it's good to try to mediate those impacts as you are able.... Continue Reading →
Some announcements
A month or two ago I said I would have some announcements about what was coming up next for my writing. I wanted to share where my head has been. Please check in on my Books page or Events page for upcoming dates as they are firmed up. As you probably know, I have been... Continue Reading →
