When I read my tarot cards at the beginning of February, I drew the Three of Rods, which indicates opportunities to expand one’s horizons, as through studying.

Over the past 28 days, I participated in WriteonCon, a 3-day online writing conference, as well as a plotting… Continue reading Life Update: February 2018

So my year started off somewhat unfortunately when I caught the flu. By its end, however, this first month of 2018 turned out to be quite an interesting mix of creative productivity and more private introspection. I started 2018 with a “Calendar” tarot reading for the new year, and the first card was The High… Continue reading Life Update: January 2018

I got a beautiful deck of tarot cards when I was in fifth grade or so, and while I don’t really consider myself a spiritual or mystical person, I do enjoy using them. I decided to do a reading for myself for the new year. Since I wanted a reading to represent what my 2018… Continue reading My Tarot Reading for 2018
Last month, writers on Twitter were sharing their progress for the year. I’d been feeling a creative slump for the past few months, so I was initially feeling disheartened. But when I reviewed my handy-dandy One-Line-a-Day journal, I realized I actually had done a lot this past year. Here’s a look back at my writing… Continue reading My Writing Plan for 2018
This month, I’ve mostly been working on my story for the horror anthology Malaise, which I’m getting really excited about!

2017 was, to put it mildly, a year.

So without further ado, here were my favorite resistance… Continue reading My Favorite Female Characters of 2017
