  • Uncertainty sucks…

    I like to plan (EXCEPT for plotting my stories- I’m a total pantser with that). I make plans and when they blow up, I still have the goal. I still have the deadline. I can work around the inconvenience that has popped up. Maybe not in the way that I want, but I can STILL…

  • This is Bullshit….

    So, there’s this totally accurate statistic I read somewhere on the internet a few years back, about the average publishing age of women vs. men. Women publish fictional novels at a later point in life, typically. Not all of them, obviously; just a notable amount. Almost as though the majority of women are taking care…

I suppose I could…

Some goals for the new year: It doesn’t look like a lot, but right now, I’m struggling to move forward. I’ve discovered that making and posting my YouTube videos has done…
