Happy Friday everyone! Welcome to another edition of the Friday Fess-Up for March. It’s been a week. I say that not in the usual “Well, seven days have passed” kind of way. I mean it more like “Seven entire days have come and gone and I’ve felt every one of them.” So I confess to …
Happy Sunday, folks! This is probably going to be a shorter post than usual, because I, somehow, lost an hour this weekend. I’m looking for it, but those things are so squirrely, I figure that it won’t turn up again for another six months. Anyway, what I want to talk about this week is the …
I’ll admit it – this is a fess-up post after all – I am not as young as I used to be. There used to be a time (not too long ago, in fact) when I could pull a couple of 12 hour back-to-back work days and not bat an eye. Those days are gone. …
Self-doubt is a thing. It’ll creep up on you from any number of dark paths and try and convince you that the thing that you’re working on will never work. That it won’t ever sell. That you’re not qualified to write it, or – even better – that you are unjustifiably arrogant in thinking that …
Happy Friday Y’All! Welcome to the first Friday Fess-Up for March. This had been a better week than the last patch of weeks I’ve been through. I’ve been making progress, though I do confess to not getting up every day to write. I’m learning that I need a solid 7 hours of sleep at night. …
I’m going to subtitle this: “The Head Wants, what the Head Wants.” I have always listened to music while I’m writing. The kind of music varies (or at least it used to), but it was always there. It’s there right now, in fact, as I’m typing this. I use music for a number of different …
Welcome to the Final Friday Fess-Up for February. I am *so* going to miss the alliteration. Anyway. Here’s what’s sure to be an unpopular opinion: My Fandomness Quotient* for the 4-day work week is on the wane. Even as little as 5 years ago, I’d be all over a 4-day work week, but now I …
One of the unexpected benefits to keeping a – more or less – weekly blog is that, if you go looking, you can spot trends and patterns in life, the universe, and everything. Looking back over the past few weeks, every Sunday post I’ve tagged with “Challenges” and “Life,” and I hadn’t noticed that until this …
Happy Friday Folks! Short post today because I’m about spent, mentally. I’m sure I’ll get into more detail on Sunday. Time for some self-care this weekend. And sleep. Definitely sleep. If you’re reading this, Congratulations: You made it through too! Be sure to check back Sunday. Be Safe, Y’all
This is what it looks like from my desk this morning. What you can’t see is the layer of ice coating the top of all that white-stuff. What you can see is the top of, what seems now, like a foolishly long driveway that I am going to have to force …
