Author of spooky, fantastical and swoony fiction and blogger of high strangeness.
…or, “Where the *@%! Has Jean Been?!” November was a heck of a month, y’all. As if NaNoWriMo wasn’t enough to keep me busy, about a week and a half into that my freelance business started to pick back up, and before I knew it I had more clients and projects than I knew what […]
Read More »I have a confession: I haven't written anything on Dominion in over a week. There's really no excuse, other than that my mojo has been seriously off since my dog had a seizure last Sunday night and we rushed him to the animal ER. Pete's fine (though possibly epileptic), but that event set off a […]
Read More »Hello, Livejournal Land. Sorry I’ve been so quiet over here. For those of you who don’t follow my other blog, I’m still looking for work. Paid work, I should specify; I never have any shortage of work to do around here–just not the kind that pays for my house. We’re not in dire straits yet, […]
Read More »I did not finish the novel yesterday. Or today, either. Morale at the office has just been too low to be able to focus on it. But there is still the weekend, wherein it will get finished. Oh yes, it will. I’m hoping to get Husband to take a break long enough, either tonight or […]

Read More »If I don’t learn to make better use of the time I’m given, I’ll never amount to anything. If I don’t learn to do a better job of making time for the people in my life, eventually I won’t have any people in my life. To say that we’re one missed paycheck away from homelessness […]
Read More »It’s an incredibly slow day at the office, which would be perfect for running up my word count, except that my allergies are making me absolutely miserable, and that’s all I can seem to think about. So maybe if I let myself whine here a little I’ll be able to suck it up and get […]
Read More »We live in scary times, yo. It seems like every day I’m hearing another sad story about someone losing their job, and those stories are beginning to have fewer degrees of separation. The circle is closing in, going from affecting total strangers, to people I kinda-sorta know, to people I know quite well and have […]
Read More »Well, I’m far enough behind that I need to write a little over 2,100 words a day to make 50,000, and so far today’s a wash. I think it’s the weather making me unable to concentrate.
