I should have had Aren fissure me to some place hot, like Florida or Texas. The cool Colorado air will make this challenge worse than it needs to be, but my clothes – and everything from my normal life – are here at Naito’s house. I’m not worried about being cold,...
I've stopped reading. I didn't do it on purpose, and it hasn't stopped 100%, but I've only read 5.5 fiction books this year. 5.5 books. That might as well be nothing. I feel like I've lost a huge part of what makes me me. Like a lot of you, I grew up with books. In...
(Please excuse me for this non-writing related post. Sometimes, I just need to write my thoughts out.) My husband and I are evaluating preschools/daycares for our boys again. The school they're currently in, a school which we love and can afford pretty well, has a...

I learned a new bookish term today: sleeping hero legends. I came across a link to this article on Facebook. It's written by Jack Campbell, who writes an awesome military science fiction series. Seriously. Awesome. It holds my attention and keeps me breathless on the...
