Growing Winter Greens (Lizard Talk)
Bearded dragons require greens and vegetable matter in addition to their staple diet of bugs. My guys, Kimba and Artemis, prefer collard, turnip, and mustard greens in that order. Although it’s too cold to garden, I certainly can garden indoors and growing leafy...Write What You Know…But Don’t Bore People
One of the most common pieces of writing advice is write what you know. And yet, I’ve read books that were so heavy on the detail that the story became bogged down or lost completely. It’s a very fine line to walk in writing what you know and boring the...
A Year of Love: Rescue Update
Last year about this time, I saw an add on a kill pen Facebook page for a mare. Supposedly heavily pregnant, gentle, needed out of there ASAP because she was getting picked on by the other horses and not being allowed to eat.

Consistency and Making Time To Practice
You can tell when you’re getting into a regular practice schedule. The lips and cheeks start to hurt less; the tone sounds better. Notes come easier, and even hitting those high notes happens. At least this was the case with me this week as I worked to continue...Winter Lizards
Pito (from Hidden) may live in the rainforest and not have to deal with winter at all. However, Artemis and Kimba, my two bearded dragons (alas, they don’t talk) live in their enclosures in our home, which happens to be an older mobile home. Which means it gets...World Building: Where and When
If you’re part of my Patreon, you know I have an inner circle where people can ask me anything about writing and even a teir where I offer edits and critiques. I wanted to take a bit of that and bring it to the blog each week. Since I’m currently working...
