sidenotes on life, writing, & the little things
Where I’ve been, working on a new writing project, putting querying on hold to rewrite, my thoughts on book twitter and staying out of it, #projectpan love, future plans for this channel, and more as I try to catch up and re-invigorate.

In which I sit down and blather on about trying to write with chronic pain, and how the heck you’re supposed to get on with work when you can barely think (?!).
Also, my sense of time is the WORST. In the video, I say I posted on this topic a year ago… friends, it was 2 months ago *facepalm*
June was a weird month, book-wise. I had a hard time finding something to love until…
The hits, the misses, and the WHY?! *cough* 5 love languages *cough* that I read in June.

6 months ago, I buckled down and got serious about examining my spending, tracking my money, and saving for REASONS.
Here’s what worked, what didn’t, and what I learned.

I’m back in the query trenches! And starting a new(ish) WIP as I read-through and create an editing plan for my next revision project. Wish me luck!
What are you working on this month? Have a new WIP? Working on a Camp NaNo novel? Let me know in the comments 🙂
I’m a writer who deals with chronic illness. Fatigue, migraines, and generalized pain often leave me with brain fog and deep exhaustion (among other things). I also have a 9-5 and a 2 hour commute. Time is short and the stories won’t write themselves. I don’t have a magic fix, but I have developed strategies to make the most of the good days and plan for the bad.
How you do you cope? Comment below.
The best books I read in April (and March, if I’m being honest). Mystery, finance, and manga, oh my!

Products I don’t like, products that make my eyes hurt, regrets, lessons learned, and an update on my #ProjectPan!
My first makeup #declutter of 2019 (likely, not the last).
Progress.
Are you doing a project pan? How’s it going?
