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

If you grew up in the 90s you are perhaps familiar with City Slickers and the One Thing you need in life. If not, that’s fine, you’re not missing much because SPOILER the entire point is that that one thing is different for everyone, and you have to figure out what it is for yourself.

I really should try to remember to do this quarterly at least, because… I want to? IDK why I ‘should’ but eh, moving on. Here are some things I’ve read so far this year and enjoyed. Frankenstein And The Patchwork Man by Jack Heath I know Jack in passing from mutual acquaintances, having asked him

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,
