Guess who has fallen off the blogging bandwagon? #amwriting

I enjoy blogging. I really do. But it seems lately to be the first thing to go if I end up getting busy. And lately, well, there's been more work to do than hours in the day. I know I say that a lot, but 'tis the truth :)

So, what has been up lately? Well, lots! THE COINCIDENCE MAKERS is out in the world. Have you snagged a copy?

I'm busy trying to put together the sequel, which has been a blast to write. I love the characters and being able to get back into their world!

Work is work. Busy. I have six of my dozen graduate students finishing this spring and it's a bit of a herding-cats scenario. Fun, but definitely taking up all of my time. Eeking out a few hours to write a week is a challenge.

It's been a really weird winter here in Montana. Almost no snow in the Missoula valley. It was 60F here yesterday, which is unheard of. Freaks me out for sure, although there's a part of me that loves the more California-like winter.

I've been busy trying to plan my nuptials for this coming summer. Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart, nor is it terribly awesome. Like, why must there be so much pressure to make this crazy expensive party? While my inner anthropologist analyzes this, I can't seem to escape the intense need to ensure I do it "right."

Life rolls on at a breakneck speed and I struggle to find the quiet happy moments. I read a lot at night. I long for summer. I snuggle with my puppies. And I hope for moments where I don't feel as if I'm constantly failing to attain some impossible goal. Things get easier at some point, don't they?
