Over the years, I've used many planner styles, including Bullet Journal, Happy Planner, Full Focus Planner, and most recently HB90. All of them have pieces that I love. Each of them are missing a few tools that just make my life easier. And sometimes, a new beginning is easier with a bit of a switch-up in my planning life. So, this quarter I made my own planner. (And because I am me, it has a dragon on the cover. And cute monthly dragon-themed coloring pages. And inspiring quotes—about dragons—at the beginning of each week.

I finally got tired of franken-cobbling together a new planner every quarter and up and made my own. Which I got printed. And put on Amazon. My copy just got here!

Also, I know I disappeared on you again, for which you have my deep and sincere apologies. I've been a little distracted. I offer my excuses here. But we really need to stop having so many life and death situations around here, or you all are going to start thinking I'm making all of this up.

Anyway, I'm back! And hoping to stay that way this time.

(Though that feels a bit like tempting fate.)

So excited to be participating in FanX this year from the panelist/presenter side of the table!

My presentation is Saturday from 4:00PM-5:00PM in room 255-C . . .

Insanity? Nope, just another quarterly performance review as an author.

Back in 2012, during the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve, I suffered an unexpected stroke. I am deeply grateful to have only minor residual effects, which have improved a great deal over the years. But in the meantime, there have been some awkward moments as a result of my brain being a little bit scrambled. Some of them have been truly laugh worthy. As promised, here is one of them.

Every author’s path to publication is different. This one is mine.

I’m so excited to have been selected as a panelist for the Life, the Universe, and Everything Symposium this year! If you’re there too, please come say hello.
