Spoiler: Almost everything in here was originally published pre-2020. WordPress gives you some stats, and I decided to look them up to be equally delighted and depressed by my numbers. Reserving the actual page views for myself, here are my top five most viewed blog posts from 2020: Art & Anxiety - Coming in at… Continue reading 2020 Recap: A Year In Blogging

If I’m Going To Die
Disclaimer: I'M FINE AND ALIVE SO DON'T COME AT ME. I had a little scare recently, and I don't want to act like it was bigger than it actually was, but with the way things were going in general in life, and with my anxiety at its highest (which is saying something since this happened… Continue reading If I’m Going To Die
Skip Ad In 5
Normally I watch the countdown, but this time I couldn't get myself to pretend that devastation is someone else's problem. Strange how one minute can feel like a lifetime, especially when you're witness to one, condensed, spoken of in past and present tense, the future just a question marked by the beep of a vital… Continue reading Skip Ad In 5
Where Did Vacancy Go?
This is not a question that anyone is probably asking, but just in case I wanted to put this out there: I privatized all my Vacancy posts. The written web serial is no more in anticipation of the release of The Vacancy Series of novels I'll be publishing in 2021. There are a few reasons… Continue reading Where Did Vacancy Go?
NaNo Rebelling
I decided to record my progress on the NaNo site for the first time yesterday. Because I didn't bother to record every day's work (and because I honestly didn't know which day I did what), I just said I wrote 21k words in the span of an hour on the 12th. It's obviously untrue, and… Continue reading NaNo Rebelling
The Association is Here!
I don't always pat myself on the back, but today, oh today, I am absolutely slapping the shit out of myself because The Association is finally here, it's out, and it's on time! Happy Halloween to me! I didn't think, Dear Reader, that it was going to happen between my mouth nonsense, Bart's vet appointments,… Continue reading The Association is Here!
The Association – An Excerpt
My third novel, The Association, comes out today, and I'd like to share with you, Dear Reader, the first chapter. Join Ivy as she tries to unravel the mysteries of Avalon Estates before they unravel her. CHAPTER 1 Look presentable. Presentable? When had Ivy Sylvan ever not looked presentable? The thought screamed through her mind, her grip… Continue reading The Association – An Excerpt
General Update *Salutes*
Hola, Dear Reader, it has been too long. I took some time off from most of my work while my niece visited for two glorious weeks. We watched more movies that I do in a whole year, ate more junk food than I should in a lifetime, and had exactly as much fun as Covid… Continue reading General Update *Salutes*
Real Magic – A Short Story
Matilda’s insisted on sticking out to him like a lime green umbrella in the gloom of a rainy autumn afternoon.
Camp NaNoWriMo July 2020 – Week 1
Day 1 - 2571 words. Day 2 - 1042 words. Felt too distracted to do well, issues in my neighborhood made me feel uneasy and paranoid (but the multiple cars that parked outside my house then drove off were probably coincidental and had nothing to do with the right wing crazies around). Spent the day… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo July 2020 – Week 1
