Ramblings

I’m again writing this from a coffeeshop. Have been going since Tuesday. Have learned a lot. I knew this before, but had forgotten, that one of the reasons why it’s sometimes so effective for me to go and write at a coffeeshop is because it forces me to focus. The right coffeeshop has the perfect […]

As I posted about previously, it means a lot to me to be in this bundle. The book that’s in this bundle, “The Clockwork Fairy Kingdom,” was inspired by Dean, who is the curator for this bundle. It’s really special to come full circle with it. I was thinking about what I wanted to offer

I’m writing this morning in a coffeeshop. I’ve been having difficulty writing at home recently. Figured it was just the cozy mystery. Except that I’ve been having some problems with writing the next novel as well. Writing shouldn’t be hard. It should be easy. If I’m having difficulty forming words and focusing, there’s a problem.

As expected, not only did I not lose weight last week, I gained some of what I’d lost back. *le sigh* This week, I need to actually get back on the diet and do the things I need to do to start losing weight again. It has been a very educational experience however, seeing just

I was joking with a friend yesterday about the glamorous life that I lead… First off, I have lovely birds that I enjoy watching. There are lots of chicks right now.

Yesterday, the reminder came up to check my energy levels, see if the thyroid meds had helped at all. I find it very ironic that the first of these showed up on a day when I was totally freaking exhausted. Wiped out. No energy at all. I did not have mild cold symptoms like I

No weight loss this week. No weight gain either. *le sigh* I kept track of my food every day, and that’s why I figure there wasn’t any weight gain. Because last week wasn’t the best week, health-wise, I didn’t get in my steps. I really need to do both in order to actually see the

I finished novel number 43 last night. Yeah, I’m pretty boggled at that number as well. I’ve written six novels this year so far. I’m pretty far behind on my annual word count goal, as this last novel didn’t want to be written quickly. However, even if I don’t make my goal, I’m still going

A short while ago I posted about feeling as though my internal battery had just grown old: it took longer to charge, was never fully charging, and drained away quickly. Then last week I woke up one morning completely exhausted. Wiped out tired. Sat up in bed and thought about laying right back down again,
