Well this month was a giant cluster-fuck of clusterfuckery. My sweet girl, with one of her beloved carrots (pic taken last year) So many great things happened, all overshadowed with the passing of the best dog in the whole wide world. Peace was 14 and some months, so it wasn't entirely unexpected but we just...we … Continue reading April 2021 Wrap-Up

March 2021 Wrap-Up
The first half of the month was pretty slumpy, as I DNFed quite a few books (as in: most of my March TBR, which was a bummer) and then took forever to read a couple more. But then I read a bunch of contemporary romances and I was back in action! Writing-wise, I wasn't as … Continue reading March 2021 Wrap-Up
February 2021 Wrap-Up
I didn't read nearly as much as I wanted, but I felt constantly distracted throughout the month by social media and silly games on my phone. Also, it took a lot longer to finish A Desolation Called Peace and The Unbroken than I expected, because they were both amazing but it took a while to … Continue reading February 2021 Wrap-Up
January 2021 Wrap-Up
January 2021 is over and...well, it looks like 2020 maintains its hold. Either way, it was a decent month reading-wise, and an even better one writing-wise. I finished the first draft of That Distant Dream 2 and will start editing in February, for (fingers crossed) a late 2021/early 2022 release date. I had a couple … Continue reading January 2021 Wrap-Up
December 2020 Wrap-Up
The hellyear has ended! But wait—we're not out of the woods yet. A new year unfortunately doesn't reset the past. Anywho, this was another rough month, mainly because I dropped my notice at the beginning of the month after a long contemplation (looooong story there). The time is right to become a writer for a … Continue reading December 2020 Wrap-Up
My 50 Favorite Books of 2020
2020 is almost over! This has been a hell of a year for many reasons. While I published two things, I had horrific writer's block for TDD's sequel, work was a constant struggle and of course the entire situation with the pandemic and the country. I am so grateful that I had books (and my … Continue reading My 50 Favorite Books of 2020
November 2020 Wrap-Up
While I failed miserably at NaNoWriMo this year (don't do NaNo while your already stressful job is transitioning to a brand-new software system without a plan and during a nail-biting election), I still wrote a good chunk of this draft and I read a lot of books! Much of the reading came from a wondrous … Continue reading November 2020 Wrap-Up
October 2020 Wrap-Up
It's Halloween! I refuse to let 2020 ruin this holiday for me. I am working this weekend (#saturdaylibrarian) and am going in full witch mode because I'm feeling really witchy right now. If you live in the US and can vote—vote. Make your voices heard. Vote in your local, state and national elections. Despite a … Continue reading October 2020 Wrap-Up
September 2020 Wrap-Up
Another month of 2020 in the history books. And, whelp, the his story books. It's been so hard to write and be upbeat/peppy (ha—I have not done this) during this year, as the covid death toll rises, my government continues to flail about in fraudulent apathy and many of my FB friends are more concerned … Continue reading September 2020 Wrap-Up
August 2020 Wrap Up
I'm back! Thank you everyone for the well-wishes from my last post. I'm not 100%, but I'm feeling a little more able to manage everything. The edits (read: overused words edits) to That Distant Dream are done, and it's such a huge weight off my chest. Nearly 4,000 revisions made, and I hope that it … Continue reading August 2020 Wrap Up
