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. For some that means the focus just isn't there as the world deals with such a unprecedented stress to be … Continue reading Down the Camp NaNo Rabbit Hole

Embermyst: Going Out of Print Sale

Mentally and emotionally at least. With my history, that combination is a rather large detriment to accomplishing goals and … Continue reading Rough Starts, Outlining, and a Cackling Plot Bunny

The week before Christmas is the final and worst Hell Week when you work retail. Since I had my own things I had to finish to be ready for the holiday … Continue reading Reflecting On 2016
