Between my annual gaming convention over the weekend (virtual this year) and NaNoWriMo, I’m a little tapped out today. Thankfully, it’s a day off work already, and it’s also going to be a day off from the blog. Back tomorrow!

Okay, I’m not at the beach today, but I am taking a well-earned day off after a weekend of online gaming. It was lovely to be able to “attend” a convention that’s normally at a time when we can’t travel this year, thanks to it being entirely virtual. So today is a day for catching […]

I got back from vacation last week and had one productive day before getting sick for the rest of the week. So I’m way behind on pretty much everything in my life right now, including writing. Some folks are able to write through their sicknesses, and normally, I’m one of them. This time around, though, […]

As I told friends recently, “I feel like I’ve been running three marathons at once.” This was a result of finishing up a novel and a novella by the end of October, plus a very hectic two days of work as everyone tried to get things to me before I went on vacation. And now […]

We’re off on an adventure at the moment, so I don’t have any writing advice to offer this week. I’m looking forward to a little time off from writing and to be reenergized when I’m back!
