My mind is racing all over the place, and I can’t keep up. I am in despair; I am full of hope. I am on a precipice poised to fall. The air current is trailing goosebumps over my skin. Everything hurts and everything is beautiful. 

I just can’t write this post 

I have too much to say and nothing at all. Too many ideas drag me in too many directions. I sit in the front seat but I am not the one driving. 

I think you get the picture 

I’m invoking my one-strike rule. I am allowed to skip one weekly post and return next week. 

I hope you are all taking care of yourselves and hanging in there!

I’ll see you next week.


New here? I write adult fantasy that sits somewhere between dystopia, post-apocalyptic fiction, and science fiction—complex, a little dark, unapologetically nerdy. 
I’ve published two books in a trilogy called The Spheres—The Fragments (2022), The House (2025)—and am working on Book Three. If you enjoyed this post, why not sign up to my newsletter or get a free review copy?
