I started feeling kind of weird at work yesterday, staying absolutely freezing even though it was 70 degrees and I was wearing TWO sweaters, one of them wool. Felt worse by bed, and still felt cruddy this morning, so I took a sick day and went back to bed so that my body can fight […]
Hear ye, hear ye! It is Tuesday and I am wearing the first toe socks of the season! They have penguins on them and red toes. How fun is that? Add to that the infinite bonus of wiggling them at my husband, who is supremely freaked out by toe socks, and you have the beginnings […]
I’m up early this morning, a victim of awful anxiety dreams. Anxiety dreams are so much worse than nightmares. With nightmares, you rocket up, heart pounding, body slick with a cold sweat.

As a writer I have long been familiar with the classifications of pantser vs. plotter. Being myself somewhere caught in the middle of the two, this classification didn’t seem to capture the difficulties I sometimes (okay, I’ll be honest, often) encounter with my writing.
