Directly Proportional to Cats

Posted on December 30, 2016December 30, 2016Leave a comment

Productivity, or writing productivity in my case, is these days directly proportional to my cats. I swear, it is! Writing and Cats–the struggle is real. I have a plan. I have a schedule. I even have a time sheet. Time Read More…

Thanksgiving

Posted on November 24, 2016Leave a comment

From its bloody beginning to the more recent attacks on the Native People’s protesting the DAPL, Thanksgiving is a complicated holiday in the United States. It’s always been a “damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t” style holiday for me, especially being a 20+ year-long Read More…

Posted on April 8, 2016June 23, 2025Leave a comment

This week’s Flashback Friday: Shiny Comicon. Because I’m at the Emerald City Comicon, I don’t have the time to type up a fully fleshed Flashback Friday. Instead, I leave you with an image of my first comicon in 2012. It Read More…
