This year has flown by.

🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

It’s hard to believe it’s mid-December already.

☀️ ☀️ ☀️

The last few months have been some of my busiest ever! In addition to the Arizona State Writing Residency (six workshops and dozens of consultations, yay!), I have traveled for MileHiCon (Denver, CO), TusCon (Tucson, AZ), and LosCon (Los Angeles, CA).

Sometimes, I let myself get so busy I can hardly fit everything in.

But we all need space and grace in our lives, so I am taking a break from the Author Blog this month.

But I just had to take a moment to wish everyone the wonder of open eyes and an open heart, warming comfort on bright winter days, and abundant creativity.

Happy whatever you choose to celebrate this time of year!

See you in 2025.
