I didn't meet the 50k challenge, but I couldn't be happier with my progress. I averaged about a thousand words a day despite losing almost a week to migraines and...well, other kinds of headaches.

I had a great time at Planet Comicon last weekend. Met some fun people, saw lots of great costumes, sold a few books... All in all, it was very enjoyable, and I think I'll be up for more when the time rolls around again next May. Many thanks to all the folks who stopped by... Continue Reading →
Last week I enjoyed my annual writing retreat at VAB, easily the most important week of my year. It's a time of renewal and restoration in the company of a remarkable group of women. A place of centering and rediscovery. A chance to stop and breathe in the midst of our busy lives. Ironically, I came... Continue Reading →
