I’m taking an editing break this weekend. It won’t be easy because I want to find out what’s coming next in Brantner’s epic sci fi saga, but I NEED to. I can’t be at my best seven days a week for four weeks in a row. Editing is an exacting, painstaking process. If I […]

This feast-or-famine life I lead as a writer-for-hire isn’t for the faint-of-heart. But I simply can’t imagine living any other way, having survived it for 16 years now. The holiday season and tax time in Feb-April are the deadly-slowest times of each year for me Work slows during the holiday season slightly before

Upwork is trying to get me to use AI to “increase my productivity.” No way will I EVER treat my clients the way AI bots treat me I do not play well with bots. Having to find ways to bypass AI bots when I need human help drives me right straight up the

I love misty mornings. And kitchen chickens… (even when I have to sweep and scrub the kitchen floor after they leave) And warm dens. And open windows. And all things merry and bright… It’s the hap-happiest time of the year!!! Gonna make some hot chocolate and toast and enjoy the
