I’ve been awake since 2am because of anxiety. I leave for the airport in about a half hour. I haven’t ridden this edge of anxiety since my Kane days. Literally shaking right now. But! I am also so excited at the same time. I’ve already medicated, so that should help me not have a panic
A week from now I will be alone at a Supernatural convention. By alone, I mean, minus my support system. I’ve avoided these cons for years due to the agoraphobia. The sheer number of people is terrifying. Not being in control of my surroundings is terrifying. Add in meeting Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who just makes
I work for an ad tech company for my day job. I write technical content for the help center and manage language on our UI among other things. As part of a product refresh we are doing, they are offering us the opportunity to run ads of our own, on anything at all, so I’ve
Happy New Year, Readers! In the hope of starting the year out right, I aim to get some writing done this morning. I got stuck on the fourth Blood Witch book, so I’ve switched gears and gone back to The Daughters of Morru. I’m at the point in the plot there that I need to finesse
It wasn’t the worst year on record, but it wasn’t the best either. It was a year of ups and downs, turn arounds and backflips. It was the first full year without my father in this world, my first Christmas without him. There was a lot of added responsibility with taking care of my stepmother

A few months ago, routine bloodwork came back showing that I am anemic. More bloodwork showed that I was severely anemic. What can I say, when I do something I like to go big. I’ve been on iron since and today I’m going in for a colonoscopy and endoscopy to determine if there is any internal cause.
It is hard to believe that we are at the midpoint of December. It’s been a year of status quo, travel, and challenge. For a good chunk of the year, I’ve felt stuck in a rut, but I’ve also traveled to a number of places I’ve never been before (and a few I have). Mom and
I’ve felt stymied on Book 4 of the Blood Witch Saga for months on end. I stare at the page and I type a few words, but I’m stuck. So, yesterday I broke out one of the other works in progress, “The Daughters of Morru” which has been languishing on my hard drive for over
One of the best things in the whole world, for me anyway, is giving to those who have nothing, no way to repay a kindness. Sometimes this takes the form of buying breakfast for an unhoused person, sometimes it’s five bucks to get someone home on the train. When I’m feeling down, I seek out
