So uh. July. Yeah, I don't know what happened either with this one, although it probably has something to do with me joining a team reading challenge and getting very competitive (we finished fourth but we gave it a good run). Outside of the novels and longer graphic novels that count towards my Goodreads reading … Continue reading July 2021 Wrap-Up

June 2021 Wrap-Up
So uh, I took an unexpected semi-hiatus this month. Of course, instead of a planned hiatus, where I could relax, reenergize and whatnot, this was unexpected and I was filled with writer's block, stress and everything else. It wasn't just the blog, but a number of things that boiled together and hit me with a … Continue reading June 2021 Wrap-Up
May 2021 Wrap-Up
We are nearing the middle of the year, and I am exhausted. I also feel, for the millionth time, like I am truly an Old. Which is to be expected, since according to teenagers and early twenty-somethings I am an Ancient One, but to truly old people (boomers, Gen X), I'm but a slip of … Continue reading May 2021 Wrap-Up
April 2021 Wrap-Up
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
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
