I'm a thirty-something cis woman, and I spend most of my time at work or playing with cats. Or I did until I started writing again. Now, writing romance novels is taking a big chunk of my schedule.
Hey, work is insane right now. I’m going to be working 60-80 hour work weeks for the foreseeable future. Which means, I don’t know how often I’ll have the energy and time to post. Maybe, it’s theoretically possible, but I’m going to be prioritizing mental health breaks and rest over blog posts. I mean, I’ll … More Work Is Insane Again – Cue Fewer Posts
I changed my mind. I’m taking another week off blogging – TTFN!
Yes, you read that right. I have a draft of the book! I guess 2nd time’s the charm. If you’ll excuse me, I have some celebrating to do. So I’m taking the week off – see you next Monday!

Because that’s a thing – when depression … More Short Post So I Have Time to Do Dishes
I slept through my alarm and woke up about 2 hours late, so no post today. I have enough time to get ready for work (Thank God!), but not enough for any more than this. Wish me luck that the day gets better!
Mondays are hard enough to face anyway, but getting out of a warm bed on a cold day makes the struggle even harder. You feel that chill nipping your nose while your blankets surround you with a warm hug, and your subconscious mind starts whispering, “Go back to sleep.” You know, in the same soothing, … More Getting out of a Warm Bed on a Cold Day
Plenty of people try to make you feel guilty for not functioning well regardless of your mental illness. What they don’t know is that you already feel guilty for not doing well.
