For once, I am actually glad another month has passed! June is, naturally, my new least favorite month of the year…not that I’m very fond of any of the summer months. Believe it or not, I am NOT a summer girl. *shudders* But enough about that! I hope y’all have been enjoying the deathly heat—maybe y’all had sense enough to vacation in the Alps or something. *winks* Speaking of vacation, that is the excuse I’m giving for not having completed everything on my to-do list this mo

Dudes. We’re a month into 2022 already. No stinkin’ way. I feel like I missed a ton of stuff, since I didn’t do a monthly wrapup/goals post in January, so I’ll try and sum up a few things in this one. I’ll end up addressing my yearly goals rather than monthly ones because I kinda didn’t have any for January. Except for survive. And finish Bound and Determined. I did manage the first, surprisingly, but the second I’m pushing back. Again. But only until the end of this month. A

happy new year, peeps Most of y’all won’t remember my Welcome to 2021 post, but to sum up, I did a lot of praising God for His many blessings, for protecting my family, for providing for us in 2020. And I’m not saying that 2021 wasn’t a good year—it was, and I am beyond thankful for God showing up and showing out—but it definitely didn’t end as expected. On Christmas Eve morning, the day we celebrate with my mom’s side of the family, my grandmother was rushed to the hospital

Someone help me. I think I've lost, like, six months of my life. There is absolutely no way that it could possibly be December already. Y'all, Christmas is in twenty days. TWENTY DAYS! Inconceivable. But somehow true, which means it's time for me to wrap-up last month and list my goals for this one! I'll try and keep this post short, since I'm sure we all have some shopping or wrapping to do (lucky me, I've gotten both done!), so without further ado (you'll find I love saying

Here we are, y’all. The second to last month of the year. November. Boy, has time flown. Just think—last November, I was blogging about names and the flat-earth theory and the election. I also released an updated version of my Christmas novella, The Gift of Her Heart, and was still working on Bound and Determined. This November? Well, I probably won’t get that much done, but I do have one really big goal for this month… But before we get into that, allow me to announce the wi

HOW IS IT OCTOBER ALREADY? Like, I’m almost finished with my Term A classes (eight-week courses that are a half-semester-long), which is AMAZING, even if it seems too soon. (Seriously, my classes have been heck lately...well, not really my classes themselves...just my professor. But I ain’t gonna complain. Not today at least.) My point is that this year has gone by way too quickly, which means my main goal this month is to write at least 12k in Bound and Determined. More like

*facepalm* Y'all know how I promised to wrap up the tour yesterday? Yeah, that obviously didn't happen. Why? Because I had a ridiculously busy day and was thiiiiiiis close to finishing up this post when my wifi shut off. So, you know. Here we are now. A day later. Oh, well. Anyway... The launch tour has officially ended, my lovelies, and as sad as that seems, it is truly a cause for celebration!!! All of you have made the launch a HUGE success, for which I am exceedingly grat

September is here, y’all. I almost didn’t make it. School started August 23rd, and it has been get-it, get-it, get-it every day since then trying to write essays, post replies, study. Not to mention all the note-taking. I have, like, thirty pages of notes already and it’s only been two weeks. Point is, don’t take two eight-week courses at once. Actually, the point is that I’m glad I could make it...because I probably won’t be showing my face again around here for a while. I d
