Housekeeping
Today has been a day for just managing to try and pick things up a little. That goes both for the real life and the writing life. Real life terms, I’ve been getting caught up on laundry, playing with my birds (literally), putting out the recycling, and once I’m done with this post I’ll be … More Housekeeping

Still Editing and Still Planning
I’m back from camp training and am using a bit of the rest time to work on the sequel. I’ve been super fortunate this time to be working with a de facto editor who is really helping me tighten up this manuscript. Within days of sending him the second draft he responded with a variety … More Still Editing and Still Planning

About that Goal
A few days ago I write about how I wanted to finish my second draft by tonight. There are still a few hours left in tonight and all things are possible. But, to be honest, it does seem rather unlikely. I suppose I could chalk it up to poor planning. I really liked the sound … More About that Goal

In Celebration of ME!
It’s June 21st. “First day of summer?” you ask. Well, yes. But also its my birthday. Now, most years I just spend my birthday feeling extra surly and, honestly, just kind of waiting for something to go wrong. But this year I’m trying something different. I’m trying to get into that whole vibe that this … More In Celebration of ME!
