Outside of being a mother, I'm addicted to writing and art, but I moonlight (and masquerade) as a gamer. Neverwinter (a D&D game) is my current go to.

I'm glad I went serial on Substack. The Storm Summoner wouldn't be what it is if I hadn't. The battle I'm leading up to would've happened already the way I had it set up, and it was much too quick. Keera's mom would've died in the next chapter, but I thought about it… I'm not killing her… yet.

I'm number 2, numbers 1 + 3 were also NOT the tank. Tank came in number 4. Can someone tell me how a tank can fail so hard? I know! Not using the shield or paying attention to where they're standing. Hope was doing her best to heal, but you can only heal a n00b so many times.

Planted more things today. Bell Pepper seeds, more apple seeds (got two from the last group but I want more lol), an orange seed (or lemon? I can't remember 😅), and some flower seeds.

Tariffs affect everything. Not just products coming to and going out of the country.
One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Today I had a reader who lives in my town, that my husband does snow removal for, yell outside at me and tell me to “stop with that storm caller shit, I blame you” for the snow we're getting. 😂😂💀 IYKYK

Here's how I describe Substack.
Substack is the best place I've ever found. Intentionally nice, understanding, and helpful people spreading each other's stories and love around, lifting each other up. I've never seen anything like it.

The Storm Summoner - Chapter 1
Since birth, Keera has been both revered (by her father) and shunned (by her mother). How can she deal with her mother's betrayal to her father, when no one knows that she knows?

I'm finally done with a book that's been sitting for years. I couldn't be happier with this one, but I'll be pivoting from spicy thriller to non-spice high fantasy from here. Years and years to come of dark fantasy fun. ❤️

I avoid “success” or “finishing” because I get a weird feeling inside me.
A) it's not something I'm used to feeling, and
B) it makes me uncomfortable.
It's almost like anxiety.
Fear.
I got the bones of a project put together, and I got that feeling, and I'm trying to push past it so I don't quit.

Just found out you can make fire arrows in Minecraft using a Flame Bow! I know, I'm behind, but it's still awesome.

Very rough picture of one of the characters in my book that I'm working on. I'm so out of practice and using a pen was never my usual medium. Glad to get back into drawing again, though.
