Plans for 2026! (And reflecting on 2025…)

But first... a bit of a somewhat-related tangent... Honestly, I wasn't really planning on making one of these posts, despite talking about how I wish I was more consistent about doing this in years past, lol. But as usual, around the beginning of a New Year, my Facebook feed was completely chock-full of everyone's 2025 Wrap Up posts and discussions about what they hoped to accomplish throughout 2026. And as usual (at least in my circles, I guess), most of the posts talked about how the ... View Post

New Things!!! Er… sort of.

Well, it's officially the start of autumn... probably my very favorite season, for many different reasons. Firstly, the weather, of course. I'm lucky enough to live in a state that experiences all four seasons, which I personally prefer, actually. Some people don't like summer, or don't like winter... but I honestly love them all, each for their own special reasons. But it's true that autumn probably takes first place if I really had to choose... Because yes! The weather turns GLORIOUS ... View Post

Current and Upcoming 2025 Creative Endeavors…

(I can no longer use the word "Project(s)" alongside "2025" or I will go into a rage as well as vomit... and so, "creative endeavors" it is...) Unsubscribing from sticking the "business mindset" onto my writing doesn't mean I'm no longer going to write, publish, or sell my books, mind you. On the contrary... I will continue to value quality over quantity, hire top-notch human formatters and cover artists, and have my books online and at events for others to buy! :) I'm just stepping off ... View Post

I had to take a break…

I've thought about writing this post for months now. But I could never make myself sit down and do it because I wasn't exactly sure how to say what I wanted to say without sharing a lot of stuff that I'm sure no one would care about or without being too depressing. I'm honestly still not sure how exactly I'm going to say it... but it does need to be said, so I'm just going to wing it and hope for the best! I actually started a similar post back in January 2025... but it was pretty harsh ... View Post

The obligatory end of year post: 2023

Wow. I am really, REALLY bad at: Remember the post I made here ages back talking about how I was going to try to get better about celebrating (and just generally remembering) my wins? Yeah, well. That didn't happen, clearly. Whoops. Thankfully, however, I also managed to write a post at the beginning of 2023 outlining what I wanted from the New Year. Which is super lucky, because I happened to stumble upon it when coming back here (blows dust off the site) to make this post. And I was ... View Post
