I am officially on vacation! I am very much looking forward to several days of reading, sleeping in (because I stayed up too late reading), writing, and treating myself. I was so pumped to maximize this time to myself that I actually spent the past week deep cleaning my apartment in preparation, so there are … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/26-8/08

I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post! This summer is already keeping me busier then I expected. There's been a lot of time spent on the road to my parents' and to my brother & sister-in-law's (my niece's adorableness requires regular observation), more world-building research, and I managed to catch … Continue reading Odds & Ends 5/17-6/13

Another two weeks gone by in a blur! But in spite of how quickly it seemed to pass, I did manage to get a few things done. I finally got my hands on my new bed frame, and I put it together ALL BY MYSELF! And even better news, in the week since, it has … Continue reading Odds & Ends 5/3-5/16

Spring was finally in the air this week, which would have been enough to brighten my days … Continue reading Odds & Ends 3/22-4/04

While many may be tuning in to the Super Bowl tonight, I'll be enjoying All Creatures Great and Small on PBS. If you're looking for a gentle, feel-good escape from reality, I highly recommend checking out this series, set in 1930s Yorkshire and centered around new veterinarian James Herriot. Another show you need to be watching, … Continue reading Odds & Ends 1/25-2/7

Well, the weekend is over and the holiday season is officially underway! After a small Thanksgiving with my immediate family, I now have a fridge full of leftovers to live off of, so cooking is one less thing to worry about for a while. I still have a couple last-minute gifts to check off my … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/16-11/29

What have I been up to in October?

I finally began to feel productive again over the past couple of weeks. First and foremost, I've gotten some good writing time in as I try to work out this kink in my third act. Sometimes you just have to keep writing through a scene, even when you know what you're writing isn't going to … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/6-7/19
