//My very exciting news on Never the Roses: a starred Library Journal review! Also, about the latest news around “AI” and some writers using it to generate books. My thoughts on art, creativity – and what we can do to “prove” we’re not among them.
//I’m back from travels and writing hiatus, and mulling what it feels like to have not written anything in all this time, what it means to aggressively refill the well, and becoming familiar with the odd sensation of feeling less stressed.
//My office rehab is done and I am THRILLED! I’ve discovered my intuition led me to solidify this aspect of my creative life while on hiatus. Also: Why We Write. Musings on having a creative career and balancing love and business.
//My non-paradisical experience at the Container Store (not their fault), my ongoing tribulations with purging and reorganizing, and also burbling about how awesome the Bramble team is and the ups and downs of this business..
//I’m a featured author at Columbus Book Festival July 12-13! And the Closet of Doom is NO MORE. Also, I’m talking about the lack of control in creative careers and how that leads to toxic desperation – along with thoughts on dealing!
//More of me NOT writing. Reflections on purging, reorganizing, and thinking about my office space in terms of what *I* need from it. Also, responding to a comment, writers letting go of screen adaptations doesn’t mean readers have to love the show!
//My week of well-refilling and alternate-achieving. Being a career creative and balancing that output with business decisions/responsibilities and keeping ourselves healthy and happily creating.
//All about Apollycon and how I finished A ROSE IN THE MIRROR on the plane and working in the atrium on site. I had a great time at the event and got to fangirl and hang with some of my longtime author idols.
//About how I bought a new car! And struggling to decide what to do with my museum piece… Also catching up on finishing A ROSE IN THE MIRROR, getting bills paid, and being impatient with recovery from illness.
//On the challenges of working from home and/or yourself – which is most creative careers – and finding the balance between imposing a disciplined schedule and also being kind to yourself and enjoying the flexibility.
