Slow Down Saturday

I got kind of stressed out by the stuff I have to do for my book launch (the 2nd book in my Lady Wynwood’s Spies series), which is coming up on February 17th. I have a To Do list with everything that needs to be done, but I get paranoid that I’ve forgotten something, and it makes me anxious.I try to slow down my workload on weekends, especially Sundays, but I was reminded on Thursday that

Gray counterpane

I haven’t posted my knitting in a while, mostly because I’ve been working on long projects rather than little simple ones, and for some reason I can’t do one project at a time, I tend to have several going at once.One of those projects is this knitted counterpane or bedspread. I’ll eventually post the entire pattern, but it’s adapted from the No. 52 Counterpane with Diamond Stripe that was

Lady Wynwood's Spies playlist

If you're following my Writing Diary Blog, you might remember that I'm trying to establish writing rituals to help me to get into flow state faster and easier, and also to encourage me to be more self-disciplined in my writing schedule.One of the rituals I've adopted has been to play the same playlist when I write. I usually can't write to songs with words, so I've been listening to movie and

Slow Down Saturday

Hi, it’s Camy for another Slow Down Saturday.I just heard that some of my relatives contracted Covid. They’re doing okay for now, thank the Lord. But in these uncertain times, let’s remind each other that God made us, that God tells us not to fear, and we have the comfort of knowing that we belong to God.Please continue to pray for me, and I’d like to pray for you, too!

My first novel published in five years just released this past December, Lady Wynwood’s Spies 1: Archer, the first volume in a Christian Regency Romantic Adventure Serial Novel (yeah, I know, that’s quite a mouthful).Basically, it's like a really long novel divided into parts. Each volume has a story arc, but the overarching story continues in each volume and they're not stand-alone novels.

Slow Down Saturday

Last year right after Thanksgiving, I had a couple weeks of pretty bad burnout. I had been working hard since July to improve my writing productivity, and I had been doing well, but I hadn’t been taking enough time out for myself to recharge, and I certainly hadn’t been spending much time alone with God. So I spent two weeks mentally drained.Since then, I’ve been trying to remember to make it

"Blue Skies" by Point of Grace

My iPhone happened to shuffle to this song during my walk today, and the sky looked like this! Aside from the great weather, the song really spoke to me today to remind me that God is still with me no matter what, and I can put my hope in Christ. I hope this will encourage you today, too!On days of gray When doubt clouds my view It's so hard to see past my fears My strength seems to fade

How can I pray for you?

I had an IBS flare-up and then bad allergies, which caused painful sinus headaches that kept me offline. My health issues made me feel overwhelmed and stressed, and I got hardly any work done in December and the first 2 weeks of January.I finally feel better and have started getting back
