Since I started my yarn diet, I’ve been buying more books instead of yarn. I suspect at the end of the yarn diet I will need a book diet, but there are worse things to need a diet from. *glances accusingly at fridge* Anyway, here’s what...
is really hard! That’s why I’m blogging about it instead of actually working on it. It’s middle grade, and those are always really hard for me. (I say “always” as if I’ve written a lot of them. This will only be...

Not just October, but almost the middle of October. Definitely past the 1/4 point at any rate. You know what I didn’t realize until just the other day? That fall smell–the kind of weird sweetish smell that smells really good–is...
