Since I finished Touchstone, I’m working on a new thing that will probably/hopefully be a short story, set in a world that will one day have a novel there as well. My search history last night was full of fun historical trivia, so I thought I’d share. First we have this video on women’s corsetry […]

*insert blissful smile here* Well, I did it. Touchstone is complete. This is the LONGEST time I have EVER spent on any one project in my life – not book, PROJECT – excepting perhaps my first published novel, because it went through many, many rounds of edits. (Many. It was, after all, my first published

The last month has been even more fatigue-y than usual, and it was very challenging yesterday to realise that a bunch of things that would usually be super easy for me – in this case, helping the 13-yr-old with homework and literally just finalising a menu and turning it into a grocery list for an

Just a quick update on the writing front. I am CLOSING IN on the end of Touchstone AT LAST, omg so excited. I should have the book basically DONE by the end of the weekend (OMG!!!) and then I’ll need to read over the final handful of chapters to make sure they are as polished

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
