Writing with OCD
CW for discussion of OCD and compulsive thoughts, so heads up. I’ve been back and forth about whether or not to write a post like this, but then I was reminded of one of the goals I set for myself at the start of this year – be more open about mental health and the […]

2017 In Review
I think here’s where I’m supposed to write something meaningful about the year we’re leaving behind. But honestly, what is there to say that you haven’t read somewhere else? That this year was a MESS? That it was hard to create in the face of what’s happened in this country, in this world? You know […]

On My Desk This Month: November 2017
Hello friends – hoping your November treated you well! Mine was a bit of a blur. Like so many other people I decided to do NaNoWriMo this year. I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that I can write more per day than I think I can, so I tried to write 2,000 words a day for […]

On My Desk This Month: October 2017
It has been a BIG MONTH, y’all. I sold my book, and got to actually tell people I sold my book! I’ve also started to really work in earnest on a new project, which is exciting and invigorating and all sorts of other adjectives. ANYWAY. Let’s get into the material objects I like to spend […]

It happened!

On My Desk This Month: September 2017
September is almost over and AT LAST the weather has turned. Windows open, fall candles lit, thick socks on. Here’s what’s on my desk this month, and what I’m loving in the fall! A Sweet Spearmint Bath & Bodyworks candle, which I like to combine with other minty candles to bump down the sweetness Malaga […]

Back in the Saddle
Full disclosure: for at least 30 seconds I thought “Back in the Draddle” (like… drafting saddle) was a hilarious title for this post. So if that affects your opinion of me, I very much understand. Anyway. Here I am again. Drafting. [500 deleted words on how much I hate drafting, including profanity and 300 characters […]

On My Desk This Month: August 2017
I am not a beauty vlogger, so I can’t call this my “August Favorites,” but basically it’s my August favorites. Here’s what’s on my desk (which I use as a vanity/coffee table/sometimes recycling bin) this month: After School Boy Blazer, a deep navy Essie nail polish Australian Bamboo Grass scented candle from Makers Kit notes […]

Knowing Your Strengths vs. Laziness
As I wait for my agent to take a look at the latest draft of Wildergirls, I’ve been toying with the beginning of a new project. My process for the very beginning of things thus far seems to be that I get a sudden flash of the first 100 words, and then need to spend a […]
