There’s a lot to update y’all on. First, let’s start with NaNoWriMo. We’re almost a week out from NaNoWriMo, and…surprise, surprise, I didn’t get to the 50k word count goal. That’s okay! I had the odds stacked against me. I started a week into the month, and I took a trip during the last week …

So as I'm writing this, we have literally a whole week left of National Novel Writing Month, and I...kind of feel like it's kicking my butt. But that doesn't mean I'm not still determined!

So you may have noticed a little bit of an aesthetic update to the blog/website. If so, neat! If not, welp, now you know! Also neat! I've had some art work in the works for quite a while, and I just received the files a few days ago! I desperately wanted to change up my …
Can you believe it? I sure can, because it’s been the only thing I’ve thought about for the past freakin’ year.
So this piece that I put up on Medium today is only slightly spooky. Just a bit. Not like, overwhelmingly so. My older brother once told me about this penny superstition, where he would find pennies in unsuspecting places during times where he was worried or off-balance. Both him and my sister-in-law had found them …
