*creeps up to dusty, neglected blog* *blows dust off neglected blog* *coughs* Much better. It’s strange to discuss the past year, isn’t it? For me, it was divided into two parts. The first part was filled with remote teaching and online tutoring, which, given the circumstances requiring those things, made me loathe my computer. Not…
This happened on Twitter last night, which was New Year’s Eve: My Gen-X heart may or may not have skipped a beat. The year 2020, which I can now happily say was last year, will be famously remembered for being largely horrible for general reasons I don’t need to expand on here. Personally, it presented…
Alternate title: Oh God a Post on Commas Whyyyyyyy Well, no. We don’t have to. But a couple of things happened recently that brought us here. The first was a response I left on Twitter. It was more a subtle jab at my grammar-nerdy self than an actual question (hence the lack of question mark).…
Two weekends ago, Heather Kindt and I co-rented a booth at Albuquerque Comic Con (read her post about it here). Check us out in our costumed glory. You can’t see my A+ Rey hairdoo game, but I think the foam belt and wrist thingie get the point across. Heather thought her web outfit was lame,…

When you’re choosing a new book to read, what genres do you find yourself exploring? Do you stick primarily to one, or do you branch out? I encountered the titled question in the newsletter of my friend and fellow author, Al Macy, and my first thought was I hadn’t considered genre hopping “dirty” before. I do…
Another year is coming to a close, and one of my favorite Twitter follows asked a great question. So of course I started thinking about my three things. Now, Charlotte said three things that happened to you—mine aren’t so much that. They’re more things I/my family did. Which I think is just as good. 1.…
Today I’m over at Writing and Wellness discussing . . . let’s say making the best of things. Though I did laugh at Colleen’s tweet about the post this morning. I know what you’re thinking: Ooh, bad reviews and seasonal depression?? Sign me the hell up for that. Don’t worry. It won’t make you want to…
