The Final Stretch: 12 days out
Happy Spring, everyone! I’m almost halfway through the first draft revisions now…woot! And I’m still making time for walks with the dog every day, much to his great delight (and mine…he sleeps better when he’s had his exercise!).

5 Reasons We Should Appreciate Our Index Fingers
Ah, the index finger. A quiet little digit that we take entirely for granted, paying it little to no attention, using it freely and without thought… Until it’s out of commission. Then it’s a whole different story. Because the most mundane, automatic tasks become outright challenges — sometimes insurmountable ones.

Of Broken Digits and Looming Deadlines
Twelve days to deadline for Sins of the Lost. I’ve faced tight deadlines before, but this one…this one is definitely going to be the most interesting. I don’t even want to think about where I am and how far I have to go in the story. Needless to say, I could have done without the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...
