    When the Muse Hits, It’s Hard!

    I had big dreams and aspirations of picking up the book I “finished” oh so long ago and editing it to perfection this month. November is National Novel Writing Month aka NaNoWriMo. I’ve only ever successfully completed it once. And that is the book that needs perfected. And I was stoked to do it. Until… Read more

    DAY 60

    Flea Market Guy officially made it to sixty days of sobriety. It feels so much longer than that. Sixty days. That means we have only lived together for 60 days, because he moved in when he first started his journey of sobriety. I guess I haven’t really posted too many updates about it because I… Read more

Unfortunately, I have more “side hustles” than I do… Read more

    Fall Break and Cracked Crowns

    After a long fall break of falling off the writing, I’m back. I don’t know what it is about breaks and my kid being out of school that literally takes away any creativity that I may have. I mean, I still have it, I just can’t get it from my head to my fingertips. It’s… Read more
