My mother's nickname is Otter. She competed in college level swimming, and earned it there. You may have seen my post where I explained that I canceled the preorder for Captured Pawn to care for my mother in hospice. Currently my mom is having a very slow heart attack. Heart event? She has chosen not … Continue reading Hospice Update
2024 has been the hardest year of my life... and that's saying a lot. My husband didn't just break, he shattered his leg, leaving me caring for him in home while he was entirely immobile and at the same time scrambling to pick up the pieces at the family business we both work at since … Continue reading Dumpster Fires, All Around
Bad news, y'all. I had to cancel the pre-order for Captured Pawn because my mom is dying, and I'm caring for her. It has been written and is in edits now; I'm working on it during any downtime I have. I'm sorry to disappoint!
I shocked the snot out of everyone around me and VEHEMENTLY wanted a tattoo for my puppy dog who passed. Here's the result! I also got an urn for his ashes and set up a Memorial. The necropsy showed cancer of the everything, which reassured me that my choice was correct. My husband leaves little … Continue reading A Memorial and a Tattoo
So I THOUGHT June was NaNoWriMo, but apparently it's July. Which works out amazing because June was a disaster of a month. In the last two months, my husband broke his leg, a tree came down on our neighbor's stuff and insurance denied the claim, our beloved dog died, we lost two fillings, and the … Continue reading NaNoWriMo!

After the storm passed we discovered what he had been trying to … Continue reading When It Rains It Pours

Now, he was an OLD boy, and had been struggling for a while, but this was different. I brought him in. They found bleeding in his abdomen and thought it … Continue reading He Was the Bestest Boy 10/10/10 – 06/13/24
I didn't formally sign up for Camp NaNo this time, but I'm doing it all the same. I just didn't want the deadline stress hanging over me while I was juggling everything that needs to get done AND editing. That said I'm editing a scene a day, which is my goal. Captured Pawn is at … Continue reading Some Stress Rambling
So the good news is that I'm no longer having ideation, my drastic med changes worked, and I'm feeling way better. The bad news is that my husband broke the SNOT out of his leg, and so I'm caring for him. EIGHT PIECES, Y'ALL. Plus shards. He has SO MUCH hardware in his leg now. … Continue reading Let’s Play Good News, Bad News
I am ridiculously depressed, and I'm stepping back on a lot of things to try and get my stress levels under control. I'll be calling my psychiatrist on Monday to address this, don't worry, and I have a support system. But I'm having ideation, and I need to hunker down and stick this out.
