It's the most wonderful time of the year!
What have the past two weeks brought? Well, I'm feeling ready for Christmas—my shopping is officially done, presents are wrapped, and I even got a few decorations out. I've also had some fantastic writing days this past week. I feel like I'm getting a little better at getting my inner editor out of the way; … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/27-12/10

I've also … Continue reading Odds & Ends 9/4-9/17

My thoughts on the MCU's latest offerings
The past few weeks have been a little busier than I anticipated, but mostly in good ways. I did get my first act finished up by that first week of July as I had hoped to, made a little progress in my second act, got to have a lot of good family time, and I … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/10-7/23
