At the cusp

Things all seem to be so close to taking off. 

The Board Game Rundown is going to be at Origins and this year we have our own booth! We’re getting to interview some big names and are making real connections. I cannot state how excited this makes me! It’s a hobby I love and I might be able to turn it into a real job! Plus, I get to spread awareness of board gaming as a sort of board game ambassador (I’ve essentially been doing this for decades–I frequently try to find what board game an interested person might enjoy).

I am looking for agents for my first book, A Sinister Love. I have finished writing a second book (just 5 months) and ready and eager to have readers give me some feedback. I have been brainstorming ideas for sequels to BOTH books, as well as a creative nonfiction book I’ve been aching to write for years.  It feels like I’m just a few steps from making it as a writer, even though I know there’s so much work ahead and I cannot know how close I actually am.

At the same time, I’ve been practicing guitar a lot and am getting much better. I have plans for recording, possibly even offering my services online.

My brother and I are working on a script for an animation he is making. We have plans for more.


I am close, but i cannot drop the ball. I have to keep going, and there’s a lot to do. I need to do my due diligence to the rundown. I need to start writing for magazines and the like. I need to push myself a little harder in my guitar playing (and learn to sight read).

I’m just a little worried that this is all for naught. Either nothing is going to pan out despite my best efforts, or I will sabotage myself. All I can do is plug away one day at a time.
