Happy Pride! I'm so glad that the world is filled with so many great LGBTQ+ romances and adventures. They used to be so hard to find.

Gouache painting of a spaniel, beagle, and german shepherd. They're holding in their mouths a tennis ball, library card, and rope toy respectively. The beagle looks very proud, while the other two stare at them.
Happy National Library Week!! A great time to ask everyone you know if they have a library card.

I don't read much horror but I love stories about vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures

Accidentally going off on a tangent is sometimes inspiration for the next piece of writing

Learning to write even when it's hard, is probably the most important lesson a writer can learn. Some of the best writing has come from the most impossible circumstances. Don't wait for inspiration, more time, quiet or comfort. Write something, whatever you can, from where you are now.

I just read this book series by Traci Chee. Great storytelling and dynamic characters. I really enjoyed it

Spring will be here soon. There's just a faint stirring here in the north - but the natural world wakes - and I feel new things stirring in my consciousness. Spring is a time for new inspiration

Libraries are going to need extra support in the next few years. Consider joining your local "Friends of the Library" group. They will be the first line of support when it's needed most.

One things I love about writing is that I get to escape into any world I choose to imagine

There's loads of YA fantasy right now (which I love) but not much YA sci-fi. I wonder why and if that will change at some point

When I'm struggling to get started writing I just start with journaling, to get the ink flowing and my brain started with words, then I switch back and usually things flow better

Had a couple of good writing days after a period of rough ones. It feels extra good to have words I really like today

I find myself missing things about Unity and its community, but I don't at all regret the choice to switch to developing in Godot

Optimizing for speed is not a fun part of coding for me, but I know it's super important

In the midst of life's chaos I treasure the time I set aside for writing, not just to get writing done, but for how those moments feel
