Trying to explain my chronic pains to people who don’t have chronic illnesses is always wild. Apparently I’m “too young” to be in this much pain 😂 yeah, looks like my body didn’t get the memo - if someone could explain that to my body on a cellular level maybe that would fix me lol

Last week's nonsense (and pain flareups) continue. I was able to hit all my writing goals last week, but I'm not feeling too confident about this week...

When I went to visit my mom last night, she put an insane asylum sign on the door to the room where I sleep when I stay over (so I guess that’s what she thinks of me after reading all of my books 😂)

Writing sequels is hard. Mad respect to my fantasy author friends who have multiple series under their belts with multiple sequels/spin offs. I think it's safe to say most of my books are going to be stand-alones. (Don't worry, I'm not abandoning the sequels I've promised readers, I'm just whining)

THIS IS NOT A DRILL 😱 The Book Purge just hit over 5k raised this year for the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.
I'm bringing The Book Purge to at least 4 more events this year, so let's see how much more we can raise for the cats 😻

My brain: I'm so pumped! I've got so much more motivation! I'm gonna do all the things.
My body: Why does it feel like we got hit by a truck? Is it nap time yet? I know we just woke up, but can it be nap time?

Bakka Phoenix will be carrying a selection of my titles at their table at @canconsffh.bsky.social so I can focus on The Book Purge 😍 If you get one of my books and want it signed, bring it over to my table. I highly recommend checking out Bakka Phoenix as they always have an incredible selection.

I've got another fantastic @canconsffh.bsky.social to look forward to this year 🤩 Between panels, fundraising through The Book Purge, and a little bit of behind-the-scenes work I'll be keeping busy. Good thing I got myself that caffeine pass 😉
