April showers bring May flowers. April days also bring NaNo words. (Yeah, I know, that one didn't rhyme at all.) The first Camp NaNoWriMo session of 2020 is upon us, amidst a truly upended world.

Social With Me
The impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic has officially reached me since my last post. Minimally, I'm getting a fifteen day vacation but it's panning out like that fifteen days might be extended at least a little longer. I'm not complaining. A long vacation is actually really soulfully and mentally healing. I can focus on … Continue reading Social With Me
Winner, Winner! #LoveBites2020

Looking Forward
I'm well aware this entire blog has been quite silent for a couple years now. 2017 was the last year in which I more consistently blogged, but even then I think it was more just #SnippetSunday hops toward the end of the year. In reality, ever since I started a full time position at the … Continue reading Looking Forward
When Tragedy Strikes
Hi, everyone. I know, I dropped off on a long hiatus again. I didn't keep up with writing as I had wanted to. I have, however, started to keep up with weekly flash fiction challenges. (Namely #ThursThreads hosted by the lovely Siobhan Muir and #MenageMonday hosted by the amazing Cara Michaels.) I need to get … Continue reading When Tragedy Strikes
