Tonight, I got some closure regarding my loved one who recently passed away. It’s the first peace I’ve started to feel.
Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them often.

I'm currently well-stocked on most of my books for an upcoming event, and then some pre-holiday direct sales for signed books. I'll update after the event!

*deep breath in*
*gales of laughter out*
A California winemaker is struggling to sell his Chardonnay ... so he's written a romantasy novella about it. The novella, unsurprisingly, looks awful.

Happiness is revisiting books we love, getting new books, sharing new books, writing new books… essentially, books!

Now that it’s after 5, I’m in one of my favorite parts of the day, which is enjoying my coffee before the rest of the house is awake. I always uncover my budgie, Artoo, around 6 AM, and he’s great company.
The worst interlude of my day is between 3 AM - 5 AM, too early to make coffee, too late to get more sleep.
Anyway, the countdown to coffee is almost over.
I tend to get up around 5 AM.

I don’t have a need or desire to do drugs. And why would I need a stimulant at 3 AM when I’m already wide awake? Doesn’t make any sense.
so you need a quiet, inconspicuous way to get an energy boost at 3am.

have you considered...Going to the Bathroom to Do a Line of Cocaine? this is exactly what it was designed for

This is my latest profile pic also, and I just noticed that over my shoulder you can see my Nebula award finalist certificate, as well as my illustration of my character Galla-Deia from The Questrison Saga.

Right! Time to switch into almost aggressive hygge mode until the new year. Cocoa, blankets, fuzzy socks, books, baking, reading, writing, watercolors, twinkling lights, candles…activate!

Think I’ll spend the rest of the evenings of this year watching Rick Steves.

Currently the book I’m reading is at the final act, and it’s that point at which I wish I could freeze the experience, but also I cannot stop now.
