I return!
I know, I know. You didnāt even know I was gone. Such is the way of magic. Over the weekend, the boyfriend and I attended a wedding in North Carolina. It was very pretty! Here is a photo of some mountains for you. It was remote. Terrifying mountain roads were traversed. We did have a great time, though! I didnāt get any writing done, and obviously, I didnāt get any work on the house finished.ā¦

And then the shed roof collapsed...
Okay, okay, so it didnāt quite like fall all the way to the ground, but it is an issue. The other day, we were driving down the alley that runs next to the house, and I noticed that the shed roof looked a little deflated. It wasnāt as bad as I feared it might be, but it wasnāt great, either. This is what weāre working with. Cāest un problĆØme, non? Oui. Is big problem. I did not build thisā¦

Freshy Fresh Updates!
Well, well, well. Here we are again! A new week and a new round ofā¦something. This weekend was pretty great! Iāve been struggling a bit with the lack of time off from my day job, but I did get a 3-day weekend, and that was fantastic. Last week, I realized that I used to have more freedom than I do now. Or maybe it just felt that way. I seem to have built myself a daily grind cage, and I donātā¦
Book: The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass
Today, I have a book! I should actually have a few over the coming weeks/months. Iāve been reading/listening like crazy lately. Description I stole from Amazon: āEngage your readers with emotion. While writers might disagree over showing versus telling or plotting versus pantsing, none would argue this: If you want to write strong fiction, you must make your readers feel. The readerāsā¦

Updates for this Week!
Iām going to need the temps to stop plummeting for a while, for real. I finished about 25% of the exterior work I need to do on the bungalow last weekend. The difficulty wasnāt too intense, but it did take some time. I replaced a couple of siding pieces and patched up one corner of the house. There is a spot where Iām going to have to engineer a better drainage situation. The damage that Iā¦
A Round of Updates for This Fine, Spring Week
Whale, hello there! How doth we fare this week? This post is later than I thought it would be. I swear that I can barely keep up with these days that just fly by. I actually had a couple of blog posts that I wanted to get out this week, but we didnāt quite make it. Ah well, cāest la vie. House progress: Bungalow yard clean-up continues. We have a small veggie garden this year, which isā¦
Movie: Dust Bunny
OMG I love this movie so much. I cannot evenā¦ Here is the description I stole from the trailer: āTen-year-old Aurora has a mysterious neighbor (Mads Mikkelsen) who kills real-life monsters. Heās a hit man for hire. So, when Aurora needs help killing the monster she believes ate her entire family, she procures his services. Suspecting that her parents may have fallen victim to assassins gunningā¦
This Week In the Life
Hello! I hope everyone had an absolutely lovely weekend. I did. It was busy, but it was, in fact, lovely. I finished several yard projects over the weekend. I mowed the lawn and finished getting our vegetable garden together. Several weeds were pulled, not all of them but many of them. The weeds have been a challenge this year. Iāve had to dig up several of those Rose of Sharon things, whichā¦
A Mountain of Meat! A Feast!
My brain really wanted to combine the words āmeatā and āfeast,ā but the best it could come up with is āmeast,ā and letās face it, thatās way too close to āmoistā for anyoneās comfort. Last weekend, we decided to go carnivore and eat like 8 pounds of meat for lunch one day. We went to Phat Daddyās BBQ in Ellettsville, Indiana, and it was AMAZING. We got the family meal thing, and it was a goodā¦

Ham is 5!
The boy has made it. I should say WE made it! For anyone who might be new here, Ham is my cat. Exhibit A: Cat In the autumn of 2021, he lived under my deck. In December, right before the temperature was about to dip below freezing, I let him into the house. I was already feeding him, of course, because he was skinny and sweet and very demanding, actually. After I started feeding him, he wouldā¦

But when...
Whale, hello there! How are we all doing during this chilly/warm/chilly/warm spring? The roof guy might or might not finish the roof today. Who knows? Not me! This has been the worldās longest-running roof replacement. The bungalow roof isnāt even that big. The good news is that the part he has finished looks amazing. In writing news, I am currently writing chapter 7 of Serpents. Itās goingā¦
Writing Updates for This Very Week
Whale, hello! Here we are in another spring week, and the weather still canāt quite figure out what it wants to do. My weekend was pretty good. I got a lot accomplished around the house, not as much with the writing. Iāve been struggling a lot with book productivity on the weekends. Iām not sure why. It might have something to do with being trapped at a desk all week. I think Iāve said thisā¦
Writing has commenced!
At first, I accidentally typed a question mark at the end of my title, like I wasnāt sure if writing had actually commenced. There is no confusion. It definitely has. I have two chapters in for Serpents. I will write yet more this week. Itās going pretty well so far. I am splitting my time between writing and social media content, so that has been an interesting shift. It is working okay soā¦
A Book Completion! And Other Shenanigans
I started a blog post the week before last and never published/scheduled it, apparently. So I will announce the announcement now. I finished the rough draft for Bone and Briar! Neglecting my social media posting paid off in terms of time and things accomplished. Did I lose whatever rapport I had with the algorithm? Probably. But I finished a book! And that is something. I also plotted out theā¦
Goodbye, Guinevere
Hey-o! How is every little thing? Everything is a-okay here. We did have a bit of a sad weekend. The last of my sonās fish died. He set up that tank over a decade ago when he was but a wee lad. It lasted a long time. Guinevere the Eternal was the last little cory remaining. She was probably about 2 inches long and lived in a 40-gallon tank by herself for the last several months. Hereās aā¦

Book: 7 Figure Fiction: How to Use Universal Fantasy to Sell Your Books to Anyone by T. Taylor
Heyllo! Here we are, back again. Today, I have a book! Iāve been extra bookish lately. Iām always at least a little bit bookish, but the current level of bookishness is above average for me. This is my most recent audiobook listen: 7 Figure Fiction: How to Use Universal Fantasy to Sell Your Books to Anyone by T. Taylor Here is the book description that I stole from Amazon: āThere are only, inā¦

What does the time say...
Hey-o! I promise Iām still alive. My spicy scene writing class kept me a little busier than I thought it would. And given my lack of time, that means my social media post scheduling and writing has fallen by the wayside a bit. I should be back to it next week, I think. I have determined that there will likely be fewer videos with my face in them. Scheduling time for filming is kind of trickyā¦
