So part of my commitment to occupying my own space here more regularly also means occupying this space more faithfully and more fully, as my full self without fear. That means that, every so often, I will discuss religion, because I am a deeply religious person and it has a lot of bearing on my […]

Intro post #1 here. Okay, so you’re keeping dedicated notes and you’ve kind of figured out that there are three basic flavours of Being Stuck In Bed that have nothing to do with lazy or sick: fatigue, mental health, or neurodivergent symptoms (including for people who aren’t typically neurodivergent). Today we’re going to tackle the

I’ve been part of a workshop on writer’s block for, wow, like 6 months now. Next week is the final week and I am going to miss my Thursday morning zoom call! Today, though, we were talking about habits, habit formation, and how not writing can just be a habit rather than necessarily anything huge

I’m in limbo. If you’ve been here the last few months and/or on my Instagram, you’ll know that. Terminal cancer (that I fully intend to recover from), not working, yada yada yada.* So it’s a particular kind of limbo, but also it’s not, because I know other people who are in different specific circumstances but

A friend of mine asked this question this week. I’ve asked this question this week. Probably, some of you have too, so I decided I wanted to answer it here, where it might be useful to anyone who stumbles across it. I’m also in weird-vibes land because I just watched a return-to-work video by a

Apparently it’s the week for sharing random YouTube videos, and we’re just leaning into that. (As much as I logically love the idea of a weekly structure around here, a la Made-It Mondays, let’s be honest: the rest of my brain vastly prefers random spontaneity [why did I have to spell that three times] and

I woke up with The Sads this morning. This is probably to have been expected: I was migrainey last week (though at least only the silent variety), and had more migraine taste in my mouth overnight; I’m overtired/overstimulated to the point where I developed an eye twitch on Sunday night, something I don’t remember having

Doing my weekly journalling and I’m starting May this week. Loving this quote from Hilary Collier Rushford: As a stylist, I teach about the chicness of breathing room. A collar left open, a cuff rolled up. We see it in a home that isn’t overly crowded with stuff, has room to easily relax on the

Like, yes, this is relative, and some writers I know can write an excellent short story in a day – in fact, my collection April Showers, which contains some of my favourite ever short stories, was drafted in ten days IIRC, so I can definitely write a short story in two days. But. I’ve decided

I’ve managed to snatch enough energy today to do a smidgen of publishing work (after spending all morning in bed, ha), and I am very excited to have gotten Life Had Other Plans fully uploaded to the printer, which means I can order a physical proof copy in about a week, yay! For expediency’s sake,
