I skipped Zyrtec last night and guess what? I am awake. Also, today is Kid 2’s birthday. The cake arrived, and we all have blown up way too many balloons. In celebration, here is a small snippet of Emerald Blaze. A small tiny snippet. Tiny. So tiny, Avon won’t notice it. Do not notice this

No Churn Ice Cream
I don’t have an ice cream making machine or one of those churning thingies, but I wanted some ice cream the other day, and I found this recipe that only takes 3 ingredients. It makes delicious ice cream and you don’t have to churn anything. The gist of it: heavy whipping cream, a can of

Still Brain Dead
I’ve tried to write the whole last week and no go. Partially, I don’t know what to work on. I keep trying things and none of them pan out. Iron Covenant II is really dark in parts and it’s too dark for right now. Roman is in the same boat. I don’t want to work

Best Friends
Me: In other news, Instapot is awesome. Jeaniene Frost: I was reading this while tired and under-caffeinated, so at first glance, I read “Other lessons learned this week: Instant Pot is awesome” as “Other lessons learned this week: Pot is awesome” and thought “OMG, she is LOSING it! Must call her asap!” 🙂 My best

Hunkering Down: Editing and Cooking
The deadline for the first pass edits of Emerald Blaze is Monday. I still have a lot to go. We edit separately, because while we write together, editing at the same time is too fiddly. The matter is a little bit complicated by the fact that I am exhausted. I lock my private Facebook, otherwise
