So obviously I’ve not been posting. This is for a variety of reasons, are very good, but I’ve also felt terribly guilty about it. I’m sure some have wondered — or even assumed — that my lack of blogging (and tweeting, whoops) meant I’d fallen off the wagon (to be fair, when I do tweet, [...]

So, I’m sick. Third time in six months, which is unprecedented for me — must be something about this California sunshine that adversely affects me! The bright side? Weight loss. You know how it is, anyone who has ever been overweight: the joy of being sick, losing your appetite and losing weight because of it. [...]

Long time, no blog! I know, I know… but I have good reasons! XD Let’s just say that my professional writing career has made significant strides in the last month.  Plus I learned to knit. XD More on the proffi writing very soon, but for now, I thought I’d kick off the New Year — [...]

Long time, no post… why? I’ve been in Atlanta, visiting my mother and attending Dragon*Con. You see?! I really am a nerd! Though in comparison to most of the people at Dragon*Con, I was not particularly nerdy –  no costume (the costumes?!?!), and I’m into the decidedly “mainstream” Harry Potter. Mostly, I was working all [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates this week — I’ve been working on some side projects that hopefully I can talk about later. I have, however, been updating my Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook pages with some relevant info, and figure it is time I do a bit of self-promotional meta. So! Here are the many [...]
