It was agonizing, but it couldn’t be any different as she was engaged to marry another man, and he was going home. Home to Arda where his only responsibility was taking care of Ada.

OCSP Response Error
All of my sites have SSL certificates and in most browsers that’s fine. In Firefox, it is increasingly becoming a problem. I cannot fix this error for you. Firefox has an outdated security protocol and it cannot handle OCSP stapling. This has been a problem off and on since 2014. They clearly do not intend on fixing it.

Evil Author Day 2024
Reading Time: 1 Minutes I’m recovering from shingles so I’m exhausted and a little mentally scattered. So, I hope my posts look okay. My offerings are relatively small this year because I posted a lot last year and didn’t leave a lot of what I consider to be active projects unfinished. Fortunate Son was originally meant to be a Quantum Bang offering but I believe that what I’ve plotted is far too “alternate universe” to meet what my own standard for what a fix it is for the QB. Happy Reading!

2024 Speculations
As I approach my 37th year as a writer, I’ve been thinking about how I set goals for myself and what feels attainable going forward. Last year I set a great goal, it was motivating but not overwhelming or stressful. I feel great about my success with it.
2023 in Review
Reading Time: 2 Minutes Every few years, I notice a shift in the tone of my writing. When I was younger, it was off-putting as I was deeply invested in my “voice” as a writer and worked hard to protect it. Eventually, I came to realize that all writers are works in progress, and change is the goal. I never want to stop growing, adapting, and learning how to put together stories in ways that entertain me. As I write this, I’ve busted over 100k on my current Quantum Bang project when my actual goal was just 95k. I don’t know why I thought that was reasonable considering. Anyway, there was a time when I would be immensely disappointed in going so far off the rails on the word count goal despite the fact that the actual project is on point for the plot I’ve created. I just didn’t give myself enough room for world-building in my estimate. An ongoing weakness for me as of late. I’ve resolved not to super stress it. I can’t say it doesn’t bother me because I have an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and part of the management of my condition is recognizing what upsets me and acknowledging it. Dismissing it and pretending it doesn’t bother me isn’t helpful at all. I set a personal goal for myself this year to post a completed project on my site at least once a month, and I’m proud to say that I accomplished it. I’m very proud of my…

Art: Over the Mountain Across the Sea by Tintalle
Reading Time: 1 MinutesLet me just say that I’ve always considered myself a very lucky girl on the art front when it comes to fandom. My readers have gifted me with a lot of lovely art in the past and it’s always so much fun to get new art. BUT, the Quantum Bang art has become the highlight of my year since we started doing it. Tintalle did my art again this year and she told a lovely story with the art that really reflects the journey that my characters went on and I couldn’t be more happy with the art if I freaking tried. Honestly, it made me fall even more in love with my series. All four parts are now available to read on the Quantum Bang and you can check the series out here. Plus the art gallery:

Fifteen Years & Five Million Words
I posted fan fiction online for the first time around May 20, 2008. It was a retreat, of sorts, from my life and career as I was stressing myself out in a way that was both mentally and physically dangerous. Finding a spot in fandom saved me, in a way, and it became a place of solace and comfort.
