• 1 Down, 51 to Go

    Hit the ground running with a great first week. Marked literally everything off the list and I didn’t even have anything to ‘catch up’ on during the weekend. It was nice and I hope it foreshadows a very productive year. I’ve got another full board of tasks this week and I’m excited to get going. …

  • Happy New Year!

    Say goodbye to 2023 and hello to 2024. I know it’s only a day on the calendar and a flipping of a page, but something about the start of a new year gives me so much motivation to get more accomplished. I’ve stopped doing ‘new year resolutions’ so much as just goals. And some people…

  • End of Year Thoughts

    2023 has been quite a year. Both in my real life and in my author life. I had a huge plan for myself this year, and I’m proud to say I marked nearly every single task off the list. There were a few things I decided just weren’t for me, and there were a few…

  • Reads of November

    November was a busy month, with NaNoWriMo writing every day and the holiday season, and I didn’t have much time to read. I only ended up getting through four books, and just barely. I don’t know if I was in a funk or what, but I was just not in the mood for reading. But…

  • NaNoWriMo Ended

    I did it! had to really knuckle down and put in the time, but I reached the end just in time. Next year I’ll make sure to give myself more time to outline and prepare the story. And I’ll have to try and get to the keyboard a little more often so that during the…
