I don’t know about you, but I’m heading into the new year feeling at least a little less anxious than I was last year, but it’s not quite enough. My mental health still isn’t at prime production and it’s affecting my health. I’m stress eating and gaining the weight I fought to lose. I’m not…
I’ve been writing Paige Whiskey and the Whiskey Witches for ten years now. She was a character I created right after some supremely hard losses in my life, and people either really like her or they don’t relate to her at all. I remember Mandie Stevens asking me if I was going to ever end…
Alivia flew up here last week to recharge. Our batteries were drained and we needed time to just sit down and… maybe do absolutely nothing, thinking we’d at least write something.
