Lost: One Glove, Perhaps Worn
Arranged on a winter-bare bush, just waiting for a princess to return, pull it on, and prove her willingness to rule. May she return soon.

Birthday Month Snowpocalypse
Of course yesterday–the day I had to spend mostly outside the house–was the day it decided to snow. It didn’t accumulate, thank goodness, but the roads got super sloppy and everyone piloting a car was stressed out and consequently a bit wavering. On the bright side, I got through the grocer’s between waves of “OMG …

Cold, Critical Gloss
I find myself muttering, “Christ I wish I still drank” more and more often these days. Breaking out in hives the morning after I indulge in any alcohol isn’t as much of a deterrent as it might be. It’s a busy month. Birthdays, tax preparation, phone calls to be endured. At least I have a …

What We Want
“But what if they don’t get along?” I worried, over and over. “Yes, I know Miss B chose Boxnoggin at the shelter from a range of contenders, but what if they don’t bond?” Reader, I worried for nothing, as this fuzzy (in more than one way) photo confirms. I came around the corner, disturbing their …

Cardio, Achieved
A bright, clear, cold morning has risen, and brought with it…several notifications from the bank, needing me to call in and verify some charges so we can be sure they’re mine. I don’t mind it–I’m glad they’re paying attention–but good gravy Marie, my heart is going a million miles an hour now. I don’t need …

Spark, Work, Spark Again
2.5K on HOOD’s Season One yesterday. All in revision, which would bother me–except I’m getting ready for the huge push to get the zero out. Then I can switch to The Poison Prince and get that skeleton all arranged and padded. It lingers in my reveries like to a step-dame or a dowager, long withering …

On Formality
I am a somewhat formal creature. My emails start with “Dear Sir/Madam” most of the time, and I will never call someone by their first name until specifically asked to do so, and even then it will be Ms/Mr Firstname for a while. This meshes somewhat uneasily with my chosen career. Generally the people I …

Do a Bask & a Protec
Lord van der Sploot wishes you a happy Friday, resting secure in the knowledge that he can do a bask and a protec at once. This is his favorite perch on a sunny day; he can watch the street while he recharges. He is a fine figure of a dog, isn’t he? Look at those …

On HOOD
I’m almost ready to submerge again. Almost ready to turn off all socializing and dive into finishing a zero draft. Season One of HOOD wants to be born, and quickly. It’s not the usual point in a draft for me to submerge. Normally it’s the last quarter of a book that comes out in a white …

Cautionary Cranky
Yesterday I did All the Things. There was revision, there was fresh formatting to do for a paperback of Quill & Crow, and revising on HOOD. Plus cleaning the kitchen, dinner to make, dogs to run, and a whole raft of things I had scheduled because it was a “holiday” and I had it in …
