Okay, hands up, who has a copy of The Broken Knife? Am I the only one who doesn't? Why does it take so long to get author copies? 😂 #litrpg #author

This guy. I made a terrible dog bed out of an old sheet and some foam scraps, and now that I've replaced it with a proper dog bed, he still prefers the old one. So now I have one dog under my desk, and one next to me. I am so loved. #dogs #writingbuddy

I think we may need to check the assembly manual for this dog.

For the past month or so, I've been helping a relative who went through a horrible medical situation. She's recovering, but still needs a lot of support. I go every day and spend at least a few hours at her house, and one thing I really appreciate is the way she has surrounded herself with beauty.

In all of my copious spare time, I have decided to make a few more plush Kaz and Kylas, so if you're going to #LitRPGCon, you might be lucky enough to get one! #hobbytime #TheBrokenKnife #LitRPG

Image of the USA flag overlaid with the text "We the People of the United States of America do not want Greenland. Period. We also, individually and collectively, recognize our current leader is mentally incompetent, and should be in a care facility or prison, not the Oval Office. Thank you, and we're sorry." with a side note after the word Greenland, saying, "Though I'm sure it's lovely there, with all that universal health care"

If anyone needs me, this is where I'll be until the dog moves.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get a bird feeder cam. Now I can scream at them from 750 miles away.

Apparently, in order to raise reader engagement, I'm supposed to post something every day. But what do people post? That assumes I have social skills, which, I hate to break it to you, is a BIG leap to make.

Being half Beagle, Blue loves to find any little critter he can track down. For several days, we kept 'losing' him, and started to panic. He always turned up again, but we finally saw the old swimming pool moving. There's always the possibility #ItWasAMimic, but yeah...

Post Thanksgiving. There's still pie.

Happy holidays, folks! I found #HarryPotter hanging out in the clearance section @barnesandnoble.bsky.social and I gotta say, I know how he feels.

This is Blue. Blue is half blue heeler and half beagle. We adopted him when he was six months old and our daughter LOVED Blue's Clues. Blue is a goober who did not want to get out of bed, and now he's on the internet like this. Same, Blue, same.

Sometimes when I need a laugh (so a lot lately) I just browse Amazon using the weirdest word combinations I can think of. Today I found a doozy. I was just searching for chickens...

I actually ran out of books on Libby today, and my brain sort of locked up for a minutes. Good news, there were more books available at the library. For now, anyway.

Really, it was for a book.

Nothing to do this weekend? Come on out to see me at Meeple-a-thon 2024! Play games (so many games!), and do a little shopping you can feel good about, supporting small businesses (like me!) and an awesome cause! #ttrpg #kansascity #meepleathon

I'm not much of a photographer, but I love this one. Has nothing whatsoever to do with writing, but it's still my first real post 😂
