I think the world was against me posting this morning. First, a nightmare scared my son, and I spent extra time snuggling with him, consuming most of my morning me-time. Then I got a 403 Forbidden message when I tried to access the admin section of my website. That seems to happen yearly, so I…
Got You Covered #IWSG
Wow. January flew past me. It’s been busy at the Town’s End, but nothing this squirrel can’t handle. I’ll hop straight to the question of the month, since it’s a topic I’ve been known to obsess over. IWSG Question of the Month – If you are an Indie author, do you make your own covers…
Welcome 2023! #IWSG
I returned to the office yesterday morning and discovered a power outage had killed my computer. Now I’m starting with a fresh image (computer image, not a new physical appearance) for the new year. Yay. We’re supposed to get new work computers this year, so that means I get to set up all my tools…
Progress Made #IWSG
December. Wow. Where’d the year go? It’s the first Wednesday of the month, making it Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. I didn’t participate in NaNoWriMo this year because I knew I wouldn’t achieve 50K in 30 days, and I didn’t want to derail my current progress by trying. I did get 5K, which was a…
No NaNo for Me #IWSG
Ah, November–a time to try to cram everything in. There’s holidays and medical appointments and school productions and shopping to be done. It’s usually a month where I’m overloaded with things to do that it’s amazing I get anything else done. That leads directly into: IWSG question of the month – November is National Novel…
October Already #IWSG
September flew by, and I struggle to fathom where the time has gone. I expected this, but it still shocks me that it’s October already. The first Wednesday of the month makes it Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! What makes me insecure this month? The fact I’m starting this month’s writing the same place I…
I See You, September #IWSG
I switched up my standard pixabay lighthouse picture for one generated by Wombo Dream. AI art is getting impressive, controversial as it is. September kicked off much as I expected—a lot of running around doing kid stuff as school resumes. I’ve been busy since late last month, and I don’t foresee it calming down until…
Entertaining Myself #IWSG
It’s the first Wednesday of August, and guess what! I’m co-hosting the Insecure Writer’s Support Group blog hop today along with Lisa Buie Collard, Lee Lowery, and Tara Tyler! Be sure to give them a visit. July saw my character hashing out his trauma with a long-hated enemy. I admit I’m disturbingly gleeful with how…
Chipping Away #IWSG
It’s July! Heat’s in, fireworks have mucked with the air quality, and I’ve finally managed to get to a headspace where I’m not overwhelmed. June was good, despite being busy. I got to watch AJR in concert, which was awesome. We started the long and expensive process of orthodontic work for my daughter. My friends…
Into Month Six! #IWSG
It’s the first of June, and the first Wednesday of the month, making today Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! Woot! I’d hoped for less busyness in May, but that wasn’t the case. I faced urgent application changes at work, health problems at home, school events and overdue assignments, birthday parties to attend, and none of…
