AKA Where I've Been for a Month
Odds & Ends: ???-6/21
Odds & Ends 3/16-3/22
Well, this has been a weird week. Anticipating more time at home, I made myself a to-do list earlier this week to keep myself productive and active. Today was really the first time I needed to turn to it, but it's already nearly halfway done. It might surprise you that I'm not seeing this extra … Continue reading Odds & Ends 3/16-3/22
Odds & Ends 2/10-2/23
Unfortunately, the last couple of weeks have not been very productive. I ended up sick early on, so after a lot of time spent resting and figuring out how to breathe more easily, this past week was about trying to play catch up and reset. I managed to mostly recover by my birthday, at least, … Continue reading Odds & Ends 2/10-2/23
Odds & Ends 1/27-2/2
It's Superbowl Sunday! As a Missouri girl, I'm rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs, but I'm kind of "meh" when it comes to actually watching football, so I am cheering for them and eating my Superbowl foods while watching Howard's End and Sanditon on PBS. I did get some good writing done this week, as well as a little reading, … Continue reading Odds & Ends 1/27-2/2
Odds & Ends 1/6-1/12
The name of the game this week was productivity. It's a new year and I wanted to hit the ground running, and I think I did alright. I got in and cleaned my apartment now that all the holiday festivities are over and my Christmas decorations are put away, I did some grocery shopping, re-organized … Continue reading Odds & Ends 1/6-1/12
Odds & Ends 11/24-12/01
It's December 1st and I am almost ready for Christmas! I've been gradually getting my decorations out the past week or so, and after a happy Thanksgiving spent with family, I got the job finished. I also managed to get the last of my Christmas shopping taken care of today (though nothing is wrapped yet) … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/24-12/01
Odds & Ends 10/7-11/2
Well, I think it's safe to say that October got away from me. I'd like to say I wasn't posting because I was on such an intense writing streak that I couldn't possibly tear myself away from the project, or because I was so busy doing fabulously exciting things, but alas, that was not the … Continue reading Odds & Ends 10/7-11/2
Odds & Ends 9/23-9/29
This week's been a quiet one. I've been doing lots of research—which, when you're writing fantasy isn't so much looking information up as it is thinking long and hard to work out and invent obscure but still accurate world details. I completely understand why J.K. Rowling keeps coming out with Wizarding World content; I can't … Continue reading Odds & Ends 9/23-9/29

Odds & Ends 8/19-8/25
This week's been a quiet, but productive one. I got several days of re-writing in and it felt good. I love being able to take a deep dive into my stories and really soak in the world and the characters. It helps remind me why I loved the idea to begin with and encourages me … Continue reading Odds & Ends 8/19-8/25
Odds & Ends 7/29-8/4
Productivity was the name of the game this week. Vacation's over now and it's time to get back into the swing of things, so I was a little impatient to see things getting done. I started off Monday with a surprise insight into a scene I've been struggling to edit for a while, which really … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/29-8/4
Odds & Ends 6/24-6/30
This week ended up being a good reminder on the value of collaboration. It started off Monday with a presentation for Mrs. Toombs's summer school writing class (thanks for having me back this year!), which was awesome because those kids are full of so many creative ideas and so excited about them. I love getting … Continue reading Odds & Ends 6/24-6/30
