I don't know why my body insists on alerting me when I'm ovulating to the point I am crippled yet won't let any of my other baby-making parts work? It's incredibly rude. But here I am, barely functioning on about three hours of sleep because some-ovary has decided to be a total and utter bitch… Continue reading Today I Feel Awful, But I’m Doing Great

Trying Out Kindle Vella
If you caught my newsletter in June, you know I'm planning on putting some work up on Kindle Vella. It's an experiment, as it will be for all the authors who use it since the platform isn't even out yet.

A New Project?

Ew. I am SO SORRY about that title. That's awful. But it's true, there is one kinda odd thing I started doing maybe a week and a half ago that got me motivated to write more, and I'm going to share that with you now. But seriously, sorry. So I have been on a slow… Continue reading This OnE WeIrD TrIcK Got My Motivation Back
