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 […]

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!
