September Creative Contemplations I listened to an online business summit this month and I … didn’t hate it? So weird. Usually I nod off as they’re full “omg sales funnel” and “you 10 step never fail formula” and … well I fall asleep about then. But at this one the presenters had clearly been encouraged […]

Bad Language It’s weird how we say “excuse the language” for a word like fuck but have no problem with people using non swear word language to undermine and gaslight people. That’s worse language. Unfollowing Recently, I unsubscribed/unfollowed some one/thing that I had received for years. It was one of those things that was […]
NaNoWriMo Prep 2021 Part 2

NaNoWriMo 2021 Prep
I’ve been thinking about what I want to do for NaNoWriMo 2021. I blame NaNoWriMo sending an email to their prep course. My current feeling is that I need to work on my current big fiction WIP (work in progress). The problem is that the WIP is in the really awkward middle place where […]
August Creative Contemplations
August Creative Contemplations I feel like I start every month in review with things that were hard. Anxiety kicked my butt for parts of August as I got to be “reviewed” at my day job over my physical needs. It has always been a negative experience that is poorly managed and going through it makes […]
July Creative Contemplations
July Creative Contemplations June and July have felt like hibernation months to me. June started with minor surgery, morphed into acute bronchitis, then July everything from June just kind of dragged on and on and I wasn’t feeling up to much. I did hit my 6th Brain Poke of the pandemic (4th this year) […]
June Creative Contemplations
June Creative Contemplations I’ve not been creating at all in June. Most of my energy was taken up with day job, a minor surgery and managing the post-surgery stuff (wound dressings, not aggravating the wound by existing, post op appointments). And then a bad case of bronchitis where I am amazed I didn’t crack […]
May Creative Contemplations
May Creative Contemplations I’ve been hanging around in health-related frustration again in May. Setbacks, pain flares, plans for teeny tiny minor surgery this week… I had originally planned to release a new book but I just haven’t had the capacity to re-read my book and get it to beta readers and do all that pre-publication […]
Impasta Syndrome
I think impasta sounds funkier than imposter, and in possibly related reasons, see post title for why SEO is irrelevant for me. In early April I playing with some basic mapping out of my plans for the rest of the year. I was thinking about when to launch my writing course. The general idea […]
