Welcome to 2024 everyone! The past two weeks have been a wonderful blur of celebrating the holidays with family and then recovering from those holidays.

Odds & Ends 11/27-12/10
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 … Continue reading Odds & Ends 9/4-9/17

Odds & Ends 8/7-8/20
The past two weeks have seen me cross the finish line with the rework of my story's second act, which is exciting!
