and changing things.I feel like I'm finally over Covid. I managed to clean out a raised bed yesterday and was fine, so whoo hoo! Granted I was supposed to work on the next bed today, but rain. I may be okay but I didn't feel like I needed to push my...

I try to get over Covid.So first off Dragoncon was busy this year. I'm usually pretty packed but with 12 panels and the booth, it felt like a time bubble. Nothing seemed real or even anchored to reality. Which honestly is awesome. I sold a bunch of b...

My inner control freak is freaking out.I'm selling books at Dragoncon, which means I bought a bunch of books. Like a LOT. Which means I have boxes and boxes of books. For about two weeks my office looked like boxes had exploded all over it - and it w...

Sitting on a balcony in Spain, writing.I can't wait to travel again. My perfect life is going from country to country, spending a few weeks there exploring, writing, eating, then go someplace else. Too bad I still have a day job, a mother to take car...

And I'm pretty sure they are winning.There are days I wonder about my sanity. Between my day job, my mother, my writing, the business stuff that goes along with writing, and the garden, I need at least 3 clones. I mentioned at the bottom of the last...
