Because my TBR queue isn't large enough
I'm not getting much writing done today, because, well... we're at Disneyland.
Working on Have Yourself a Post-Apocalyptic Christmas while Megan is at the dentist. One thing I love about my Freewrite Traveler is its portability.
New post: PTSD Service Dogs: What They Do and Why They Matter.
June is PTSD Awareness Month and today is International Working Animal Day. I'm writing about a topic that matters personally—not just as an observer, but as someone who experiences hypervigilance. Service dogs do real work: grounding handlers during panic attacks, checking rooms, breaking intrusive thought loops. They aren't comfort animals; they're lifelines.
So, what are you reading this weekend? (the second one is actually my WIP, with chapter outlines for the parts I'm still writing)
Weekend Writing Challenge: Supply Chain Collapse
In my latest blog, I explore how my diabetes inspired a zombie story where the real villain isn't the undead—it's the broken supply chain.
Your Turn:
1. Identify one essential resource (meds, food, power).
2. Imagine it becomes inaccessible overnight.
3. Write a scene (200-300 words) navigating this scarcity.
Focus on panic & ingenuity.
