I’ve seen a lot of people online asking lots of writing advice: how to write in deep PoV (Point of View), how to handle negative criticism, show versus tell, etc. I intend over the next few months to tackle as many of these topics as I can, but first I’m going to start with a very fluid and dynamic topic: tools. These are the tools I use, every single day, in my writing and in my life outside.
If you’re new to my website, welcome! But if you’ve been here before, you may notice some changes in the last couple of days. Let me walk you through the changes.
We all know the story, don’t we?
Well, I didn’t know it as well as I thought I did.
Ahh, Valentine’s Day, the holiday only some people can celebrate, while the rest of us pretend not to be bitter about it.
One of the mainstays of Valentine’s Day, and indeed, romantic love as a whole, is the love letter. 💌
For my 12 Months 12 Books Challenge, I began with The Rook to fulfill, ‘A book you have, but haven’t read.’

So…it’s been a few months, and I have ticked a couple things off the list, and made some progress; but mostly, I’ve made a mess.
So here’s what I’ve been up to.
Ahh, the holidays. These days, at least in my household, it’s all Christmas carols, holiday movies, baking stollen and cookies, and frantically wrapping presents so they’ll look nice under the tree. That’s not too unusual. But I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the origins of Christmas and winter traditions, and how it’s all changed and evolved over time. So this seems like an appropriate time to discuss how the holiday season looked in the Georgian Era.
I recently launched my Patreon account, so I thought this would be a good time to explain and explore what Patreon is, what I plan to do with it, and how you can help.
There’s a recipe that’s been bugging me for years, a dish teased by Washington Irving a century and a half ago. I’ve been asking my mother for years to make it, and this year we figured it out together. And I present it to you now as an option for that Thanksgiving turkey.
