While the grief is not as raw now, the house feels very different, an emptiness lingering. Our time as a two-dog household was shorter than we had imagined. Scooch […]

Boosts my mood. I am having a great time restructuring Dreamkeeper (book no3 in the Dreamcatcher series) and it has greatly improved my general mood. Progress can be slow, but I am enjoying the work, even if I cannot get to it every day. Fingers crossed that I continue to make strides this season and […]

And I’m giving myself one too. Soon my kiddos will be on school break but we don’t have many plans for those two weeks. Family time, holiday movies, rest, and long walks with the pup will likely fill our days. While I will likely pull out my laptop during those two weeks just for funsies, […]

Time to get back to fantasy books. I went to the library earlier this month to grab a stack of spooky season reads, but instead of just running in and grabbing my hold requests, I spent about twenty minutes sitting on the floor in front of the SFF new release shelf. When deciding what to […]

Is more like a distraction. We have a second miniature schnauzer in the house! Meet Murphy, the baby of the family. I now feel like I have four kids: a teenage son, canine middle child Scooch is 11, my younger son is in fifth grade, plus the new puppy. We intended to get a puppy […]

Despite summer distractions! I’m writing new scenes for a book I actually want to publish someday instead of just random things. I’m so happy to be productive again. While youngling was at morning nature camp, I got a little me time in and opened up Red Hour. I started from the beginning, making minor edits, […]

Is healthy! It’s time again to leave the laptop at home and take a break from my writing goals. It’s been a busy year of volunteering at youngling’s school, reading/reviewing, editing/writing, and taking care of my home and family. School is out (yes!) and I’m currently enjoying a little time away from the keys and […]
