    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!

    That’s me! That’s my book! I’ve known about this for maybe two weeks or so and it has been the WOOOOORST keeping it to myself but today I finally get to tell people about it. So this is me, telling you about it. For a longer synopsis you can click here, and for some general […]

    Rediscovering Lost Loves

    Found this today as I was putting together a playlist for the project that has no name: Soneto de la noche, Morton Lauridsen, performed by Polyphony It doesn’t suit at all – far too rich and full of joy – but I was reminded of how deeply I love this piece, and how solidly my […]

    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 […]
