Your Best Year 2017 Mid-Year Review

This year I’ve been using Lisa Jacobs’ Your Best Year 2017 as part of my business goal-making and planning. It’s a great book, although I confess I haven’t been using it to its full potential. I’ve also been following Lisa’s blog and Instagram accounts for added inspiration and accountability. This…

Adventures in Research: Steering the Ship

A couple of weeks ago, I went on vacation. A lot of it was sight-seeing and hiking, the sort of thing I like to do in my free time. But I also spent one day doing some very important Weather War ship research–which had the bonus of being amazingly fun. I…

Book Rec: Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln

Cover of Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln. A Japanese girl stands with her back to the viewer and looks over her shoulder. She is on a city street at night.

A couple of months ago I shared the cover of Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln, and hosted a blog post by her. At the same time, I was also given an e-ARC of the book to read. Since the book releases today, I want to tell you how much I…

Creative Doesn’t Have to Mean Cluttered!

Picture of Albert Einstein with a quote about clutter and creativity

I know, you just read the post title and you’re already mad at me. But hear me out! I’m not writing to condemn people with cluttered houses–far from it! I have plenty of messy tendencies, and right now, I’m very glad no one can see the inside of my closet. But…
