I’ve been spending my time between working on an outdoor project, playing video games with my husband while he’s on vacation, and occasionally sitting down to write. I made a lot more progress this month than I expected to, and I’m happy to report that I finished...

Writing: I realized rather belatedly that I forgot to send out a monthly update for July! This will be brief, as the vast majority of June was spent in recovery after my gallbladder surgery. I’m finally feeling better, and my creative brain is itching to work on...

Writing went rather smoothly in December, though my word counts were lower than I would have liked. I was able to write every day before the holiday break, except for one day when I was sick (probable food poisoning). Some days, I netted a negative number of words,...

Well, we have finally made it to the end of this weird year, and that’s saying something, all things considered. We’re still in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, obviously, but we managed to make it through a momentous election, too. Between Biden’s win and the...

November went more or less as expected. I didn’t write at all the first week, with the election going on (was that really only a month ago?!), and afterward, I struggled with rewriting the first chapter of BLOOD OF SALT, TEARS OF PEARL, but I eventually got all the...
