I also have dropped the ball on Instagram once again, but I have “thoughts” on that, and I also have like commented and….two people’s blog this month. Sorry guys.

(I haven’t written a blog since October 6th??? Hahah, WHOOPS) Before we get into this, let’s do a quick recap: yes, I have been terribly absent from the blogsphere, and doing a not-to-good job at being consistent on Instagram, but I’m giving it my best shot, alright?? I have a lot of editing to do,…

Another NaNoWriMo won and done and in the bag *brushes off hands*. I finished at 1 am on Thanksgiving, fueled by brownie cheesecake.

(just finished watching the Mandalorian and now watching the British Baking Show. It’s a good Friday night) Tomorrow is All Hallow’s Eve/Halloween/Almost NaNoWriMo. I was thinking back to waaaaay long ago, and I remember sitting on the porch during Trick-or-Treating wearing a cloak and masquerade mask writing….a blog (which is very Bernadette of me. I…

Saturday Morning Post Vol. 32
Let me tell you a story about a writer endlessly wandering her neighborhood. It’s the height of the lockdown. April 59th. (Or was it March 33rd?). I feel like I remembering it being warm so it could by May 41st. But also….like I can remember when the lockdown began but not when it actually ended…
