Happy Halloween!

| October 31, 2018

It’s my favorite holiday of them all, Halloween! Strangely, I’m not doing anything particularly Halloween-y today. Though there will probably be some candy consumed. Okay, there will definitely be some candy consumed. This is also the beginning of my final vacation/trip this month/year, as we’re off to our annual gaming convention in Portland. Happy Halloween […]

Another Adventure!

| October 15, 2018

I’m off on another adventure this week! As I mentioned last week, I’m accompanying my mom and sisters on a bike ride across the state of Missouri, though I’ll be in the vehicle, not on the bike. I’m doing a little work for the day job throughout the week, but I’m also going to take […]

Labor Day!

| September 3, 2018

It’s nice to have a long weekend, both in terms of relaxation and productivity. I’m spending the day working on a bunch of projects, but I’m sure I’ll get some vegging time in too. Hope everyone else is enjoying Labor Day, in whatever way you prefer!

Back from SpoCon!

| August 13, 2018

I’m back from SpoCon, and I’ll talk more about my experiences there in the coming weeks. But for now, I’m settling back into the day to day grind, enjoying the relatively clear air here, and definitely relishing the cooler temperatures of Western Washington. Spokane is a cute little place, but it’s much too high desert […]

Off for another adventure!

| April 23, 2018

This year seems to be the year of many adventures for me. This time, I’m off to the city that birthed me, to visit my mom and sisters. It’ll be a different sort of adventure, as it’s a combination of me hanging out and also working. One of my sisters and I will be commandeering […]

Quiet Monday

| April 2, 2018

I’m back from Norwescon, and I’m working on getting my head around all of the things I saw and did while I was there. There will be posts about that soon, but for today, I’m trying to have a bit of a quieter day, despite needing to catch up on a great many things!  

Off for an adventure!

| March 14, 2018

We’re off to have an adventure for a few days with some of my dearest friends. I’ve got posts set up so you can be entertained while I’m otherwise occupied. I doubt I’ll get much writing done, but it’ll be nice to give my brain a few days of recharging!

Taking Time to Relax

| January 15, 2018

Though the picture to the right isn’t my actual view today, I’m taking a bit of a break from my usual posting schedule after a weekend at Rustycon. I’ll be back to the grind tomorrow. But for today, I’m imagining being off on some tropical island and getting in some well-deserved relaxation!

A Brief Vacation!

| September 4, 2017

I’m off from my day job today, and it was going to be a writing day. Then I got a last minute invitation to PAX West/Prime, so I’m off to do that instead. I’ll return tomorrow with your regularly schedule programming!  

Quick turnaround!

| February 15, 2012

Remember that microfiction story I mentioned on Monday? It was accepted at the venue where I submitted it on Tuesday. That’s less than a 24-hour turnaround from the story being written to the story being accepted. Hooray for nearly instant gratification! The venue is Bat Terrier, and I’ll be sure to post again when my […]
