My energy’s low, so instead of pondering life like I usually do, here’s a little round-up of some of my recent projects you might be interested in.

In the Rise of the Grigori Behind-the-Scenes Tour part 2, I dive into how I came up with the idea for the world that became my epic young adult mermaid fantasy series.

The question “do I want to be doing this five years from now?” is a very helpful rubric for deciding on how to spend our time now. I get to choose the path I take. So why do I make it so hard?

The first of a series of behind-the-scenes posts for the Rise of the Grigori series. First up: What’s the series about?

I’m slowing down on even more things… including how I market my business. And you know what? I like it.

I’ve been busy and trying to do all the things, so it’s time to slow down again and focus on what’s next.

My latest bout with Impostor Syndrome led to some interesting discoveries about how Impostor Syndrome and Enneagram Type might work together.

I felt slower than usual this week, but still ended up with some cool things for my readers and knitting customers. And I got to be social, too.

Taking a moment to look back at how far I’ve come before looking to the immediate future again.

In which I try to decide if I’m ready to start writing again…

When the blahs happen two weeks a month, it’s not just depression… Also, update on my slow productivity mission, what I did this week in my business (hint: knitting pattern update), and some sad news about my grandmother.
