  1. Normally I have this post scheduled and ready to go well before the actual day. But holy fuck, this week has gotten away from me. It was simultaneously too long and gone in a blink.

  2. The Priory of the Orange Tree is magnificent so far. In case you haven’t read it yet and were wondering. I highly recommend a read a long or buddy read if large books overwhelm you because it is so worth it. Even more fun when the people you read with like the parts you don’t and dislike the parts you love! It makes for a fun banter. And yes, there are dragons!

  3. About to drink this half pot of coffee by myself.

  4. Currently craving: chicken fried steak with gravy, crispy hashbrowns, French toast with all the syrup, and a bowl of perfect strawberries.

  5. The Wee One will be THREE soon. Can I even still call him the WEE one when he is no longer WEE. How the fuck? He is currently sitting in my lap watching YouTube on my phone while I type this one handed.

  6. And now he’s down and took off with my phone lolsob.

  7. I decided to take a break on my blog/website while I figure out what I want to do with it. Also, really need more time to work on my novella and my short stories for submission in September.

  8. Do you ever feel like you’re in the middle of a shift but you don’t know what kind or where it will lead or what it will leave behind and you just have to desperately hang on while simultaneously letting go?

  9. Periods starting the same week as the New Moon always take me out harder.

  10. *sigh* alsjfdlkjgsfhbgjh;kjrhjsjk


In case you missed it, last week I started a weekly thread called Behind the Stacks. Each Wednesday morning I will post a topic of discussion ranging from creativity blocks, neurodivergent things, queer character representations, and whatever else comes up!

If you haven’t already, go to our Introduction Thread and introduce yourself!

Until next time, dear hearts
