I decided last night that I’m rewriting my novel. Again. I’m having a lot of mixed feelings about it and it could be because I need a little break from writing after National Novel Writing Month (nanowrimo) and it could be because I’m doubting my spur of the moment decision to start from the beginning...

creative mode
It is just about two weeks into National Novel Writing Month and that means I have fallen behind on all my shows and not picked up a book since Halloween. Oof. As someone who regularly reads multiple books in a week in addition to listening/watching 4- to 5-hour-long episodes of Critical Role at least once... Continue Reading →
one word at a time
February was going to be my editing month for Ilyum I. It was. I did a really good job for the first two or three weeks. And then some stuff came up (the big thing being that we were in the process of buying a house, something I may talk about another time). I decided... Continue Reading →

November, of course, was filled with Thanksgiving travels and NaNo, the latter of... Continue Reading →
an adventure to Mammoth Cave
Small disclosure to start: this took more time to write out and get posted than I had wanted, but that's what happens when you go right from a vacation into playing catch up at work immediately the next day after getting home. Our trip took place from July 15-19, so I'm not super far off... Continue Reading →
Reading and writing… and reading and writing some more
This is mostly going to be about my writing, but I want to briefly touch on my reading so far in 2021. Over the last ~3 months, I have read 15 books, averaging about 500 pages a piece, with several being up in the 700-800+ range. I honestly feel like I’m back in high school... Continue Reading →
