If you’ve been following the blog for the past few weeks, you’ll know that I’ve been trying to manage my time better. If you’ve been following my Five Thing Thursday posts, you may have gotten a hint that, for me, it hasn’t been as easy as it sounds. Then the stars aligned this past weekend. …
Earlier in the week, I had what I’m going to call a mild anxiety attack. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that reads this blog, that I’ve got a lot on my plate at any given moment. My typical approach to this is to focus on just one thing – usually the one …
I mentioned last week that, for my birthday, I was giving myself the gift of Time. Seeing’s how I’m typing this up on Sunday morning, it’s taking me a bit of time to get some traction on that score. And that’s ok. This whole thing is a work in progress. I didn’t expect to have …
Of all the times during the year that I tend to get introspective – There are more than you’d think, but not many – the two times that I really dig deep are my Birthday, and New Year’s Day. This works out pretty well for me since those two days are nearly half a year …
So… Yeah… This post is a bit late. Well, better late than never, right? But why is the post late, you ask? And, if you’re asking, thank you for sticking it out today. This weekend I had set myself a deadline for finishing this revision pass on JADE MOON WANING. Then, as it often does, …

This time last weekend, I was at Balticon. I had the entire day, more or less to myself, programming for me having ended with a great panel discussion (I was the moderator – so my opinions on how it went are my own, but I think it went well) about the past 25 years of …
I confess that today got away from me. I did get a good chunk of writing done, then I spent *A LOT* of time outside with chores, etc. Next thing I know, it’s after 6:00 Pm. Time to shower, feed the dogs, and find some time to unwind. Not to mention dinner, etc. But what …
I’m going to end this week by telling you a story, because – you know – that’s what I do. Last weekend, I got a Fitbit. A Fitbit Inspire HR to be exact, which wouldn’t even have been on my radar, if not for John Scalzi mentioning his. I got it for a number of …
With as much as I’ve got on my plate these days, I’m always looking for ways to get more done, quicker, etc. Sometimes, under certain circumstances, I am tempted down dark paths. I’m talking about Multitasking. You know what I’m talking about: You do a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and …
