Yall probably haven’t noticed. After all, if you’re here, it’s likely because you already read the books (unless you’re here because of the anomaly novels, and if you are, I adore you!). But you can’t find an electronic copy of McKenzie’s books online anymore because…...
Sandy Recommends: Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik
I have to apologize, ya'll. I have done no editing or writing in the last twenty-four hours. Instead, I was sucked into Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik. It was so, so good! From beginning to end! The perfect blend of sci-fi romance, which is so freaking hard to find....
The Urban Fantasy is Done!
Okay. It's not done done, but the first draft is written and it's pretty darn solid. I couldn't be happier! I haven't "finished" a book in a long time. I made my January 20,000 word count goal. I'd like to write that much every month (except December; I've given up on...
An Ode to the Nerf Zombie Swords
Yall, I will never be a poet, but we LOVE these Nerf swords. They're definitely worth the effort to write a review. I went on Amazon to do just that. Oddly, though, my review kept rhyming. So I shrugged and just...went with it Dear Nerf Zombie Swords, You have served...
Newsletter, Exercise Doesn’t Give You Energy, and Weekly Update
Words were written last week, but just barely. I wrote 5,357 words and had a few scene epiphanies. My goal was 5,000 so I guess that's good, but I was really distracted last week. I could have done better. But, man, was I tired. I started Jazzercise again. Those...
Review: Mary Poppins Returns
Who else has watched Mary Poppins Returns? We saw it over the holidays. I went expecting to be disappointed, but hopeful that I wouldn't be. The original was just so good, how could a sequel compare? It didn't help that I've been supremely disappointed with a lot of...
Happy New Year: Take 2 (Monday Update)
Happy New Year! Again! My year is just now getting started. We spent last week in Colorado and had a beautiful time. Spreadsheet Guy skid three days and Kid C took snowboarding lessons for three days. Both loved it. I took skiing lessons one day, and my feet hurt like...
Looking Back at 2018
It's the last day of 2018! 2018 was a GREAT year. No surgeries for me! And I learned a ton about myself. I ditched distractions, focused on what matters most in my writing (the writing, duh!), and I increased my productivity by about a thousand percent. And it's about...
Boot Camp, Party, and Weekly Update
Happy Monday! I had a fantastic weekend. Not only did I finish the day Friday with my 5,000 word a week goal met, but I went through Sarra Cannon's HB90 Boot Camp. That's the class I mentioned last week that helps authors plan their year. Or rather, plan the next...
