50,000 words
Holy crap, I did it!!! I’m sleep deprived and my house is a mess, but I made it to just over 50,000 words in 30 days, with about 45 minutes to spare. Phew, I feel so much better about my … Continue reading

Field research
41,000 words and three days left to finish. Quality had taken a nosedive, and plot quickly devolved into sex scenes – I’ve read so many romance novels and done a lot of field research, so I can crank those kinds … Continue reading

Drugs of choice
There’s a long tradition of artists and authors on drugs and I kind of wish that tradition worked for me, but nope, clearly it doesn’t. All those years of using pharmaceuticals, cannabis, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar overload, and finally now none … Continue reading

Not just the naughty kind
I know better than to ever ask, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about it. Much more often than I want to admit. Memories still haunt me, still make me cringe with pain and regret. Knowing that one chance … Continue reading

25,085 words and I’m behind on the word count but still halfway there; NaNoWriMo 2018 is kicking my ass in the best possible way. What a glorious distraction from the tragedies and heartbreak of everyday life, and from the blood, … Continue reading

Ummm…
Caution, healthcare story ahead: The patient had a colostomy bag that was packed so full that at first glance it looked like a loaf of bread. It’s no surprise that it exploded out of the top. The smell was no … Continue reading
Pumpkin butter
A recipe called for pumpkin butter, and Google showed me how to make it; it makes your house smell amazeballs, and let’s just say yummmmm – it has so many uses too! I have mad scientist plans to create a … Continue reading

Seriously, WTF
Why are men so invested in violently repressing women? And what the hell is up with all these people snapping and going on shooting rampages? Can’t we as a society teach healthier, better humans? What about actually addressing mental illness … Continue reading
