A very Merry whatever holiday you celebrate

Yes, it’s that time. Santa’s Amazon is going on holiday hiatus. The kids are home, the cookies need to be baked, and I have a closet full of presents to wrap. I’m in freakin heaven. But it does make finding the time to write difficult at best. I am, as I type this, putting off […]

Winter Stoppage

Winter in the Pacific Northwest is pretty much like fall here, except about fifteen degrees colder. And the rain is touch heavier. And this morning I had to deal with actual snow  while getting wood for the fire. And this cold nasty weather *might* be why I’m not writing. It also might be because I’m stressing […]

Hello Christmas

My NaNo is a joke, but I have over a year’s worth of stories, so… draw. I’m happy with myself. But I can get back to beta-reading for friends and writing my novels soon. Well, in between decorating for Christmas and being a mom. I am excited to get back to my novels though. I’ve […]

It’s that time again…

All around me, my fellow writers are prepping for NaNoWriMo. And while I adore NaNo, I haven’t done it for a few years. I’m pretty good about pushing myself by myself. I don’t affirmation to write anymore. But then I started thinking about how great it would be to get ahead on my Chelsea Childling […]
