Goals

  • …and (several) dollars…well, you know how the rest of it goes. I started typing a post for yesterday’s A Round of Words in 80 Days check-in, got about half-way through, and decided to just take the day off. It was a late start, not because of Easter, as I don’t celebrate Easter unless I’m home…

  • Well, I finally did it. I finally got back to starting my workout and meditation routine this morning, so hopefully I can start making it a habit again. I used to do a small session nearly every day before work started to get too overwhelming for me to manage setting the time aside, and I’ve…

  • “…it might not then be too fanciful to say that some houses are born bad.” “The Haunting of Hill House” by Shirley Jackson When it comes time to return to working on Rosewood Manor, I know exactly what book will be coming off the shelves to reread to help inspire that great, brooding, heavy feeling…

  • RoW80 Update: Whoopsies!

    Isn’t it interesting how, sometimes, we can be incredibly successful in so many things throughout the day, but then we manage to fail at one minute detail, and all those successes seem to fade into the background to make way for the pressing mar on our otherwise perfect day?

  • I was intending to include this in an Awesome Things Volume, but, after a few days of playing around with it, I’ve decided to give HabitRPG it’s own post. What is HabitRPG? Besides the cleverest goal tracking program in the entire world? …Well, that basically sums it up, but let me elaborate. I was fortunate…

  • Yesterday, I officially finished the rough draft of Soulless (unless you count a potential epilogue that I’m still on the fence about). It’s been several years since I completely finished a rough draft of something, and the feeling is incredibly accomplished. The timing couldn’t be better, either, since Monday I was really feeling like I…

  • Quotes: Atlas.

    “Step by step and the thing is done.” -Charles Atlas. Currently, I’m in quite a state of flux, and I’m not quite used to it, so everything feels a little…off. It still, more than two weeks later, hasn’t quite sunk in that tomorrow doesn’t bring a day filled with obligations and work I don’t love.…

  • RoW80 Goals!

    Words cannot express how excited I am to be participating in A Round of Words in 80 Days again…well, okay, actually, they can, and quite succinctly, so let’s get on with it. RoW80 helped me so much when I was first starting out, in building relationships with awesome fellow writers and setting achievable goals and…
