  1. Manifesting Destiny got a fair review in February's InD'Tale.
  2. Brynnde was made a finalist in Books & Benches' cover art contest.
  3. Got a lot done (just not any writing).

I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed these days, actually. There is a lot going on in my life and with my family, and then on top of that is everything going on politically—it makes for a lot of stress. I know the answer is not to bury my head in the sand; that's what they're hoping we'll do, it's why they throw things from every side so we don't know which way to look. They want to scatter our energies and exhaust us. We're tired, all right, but more than that, we're angry, and we outnumber them by a lot.

  1. New shoes. My old ones were developing holes. (I walk a lot.)
  2. More auditions for my audiobook. I'm just so excited about this project!
  3. Minerva (one of the cats) came to stare at me this morning. You'd have to know Min to know how amazing that is. We rescued her last October, and she doesn't like or trust me because I've had to chase her and stuff her into a carrier a couple times. So the fact she made herself visible to me at all is astounding. Most of the time she hides if she knows I'm around.

  1. Got rid of old furniture. Felt really good to literally kick it to the curb.
  2. Started a new project—a tarot book I'm writing for a friend who wants to learn. I'm going card by card. Maybe I'll publish the manuscript later.
  3. Starting getting auditions for the audiobook I'm hoping to release. I'm so excited! I've wanted to do this for a long time. Squee!
