We Write!

I'm not sure I've mentioned it here -- I know I have over on my blog -- but I got jumped about 9 days ago with a new novel. Well, new in the sense that it hasn't already been written. Not new because I knew I had to write it and had planned to get... Continue Reading →

The thing about burnout is you don't really get how bad it is until you start to recover, even if you know you're burned out. It's one of those things that's harder to see from the inside. I'm realizing now that I was seriously, severely burned out, and now that I've had a smidge over... Continue Reading →
