    anticipation

    ByJennifer Willis 31 May 2022

    Nearly two months ago, I submitted an application for a writer’s retreat scheduled for later this year. I put a lot of thought and effort into that application, even though I wasn’t sure at the time how much I wanted to attend the retreat. And then I forgot about it, for a month or so….

    setting up the 2021 bullet journal

    ByJennifer Willis 29 December 2020

    I’ve been hard at work getting the new bullet journal ready for 2021, and since a friend (Hi, Heidi!) asked for details about how I’m currently using this customized system, I figured a blog post was in order. Warning: Planning nerdiness ahead. I’ve written previously about the bullet journal — my bullet journal adventure so…

    timed sessions, when time has no meaning

    ByJennifer Willis 4 April 20204 April 2020

    I’ve been wanting to re-start this blog with more regular posts on helpful and constructive topics, but life was always intervening. That seems like an entire lifetime ago. One of the topics I wanted to cover was the benefit of using a timer to help get started on projects, to focus on ongoing work, and…

    hiding in the shadows

    ByJennifer Willis 29 October 2018

    This morning, I awoke to more inflaming outbursts from the president’s Twitter account and more divisive language and positions from his staff. It’s another day in the United States of America in 2018, and the president is again attacking the press on Twitter. His friends on Fox News are speculating that a caravan of migrants…

    this writer’s ragnarok: here’s (some of) what’s going on

    ByJennifer Willis 20 July 2018

    I’d initially hoped to release Twilight Magic, the sixth and last book in the Rune Witch urban fantasy series, around the middle of this month. That is in no way going to happen. Then I thought I could get it out toward the end of August; that’s a remote possibility at this point but not…

    research is a beach

    ByJennifer Willis 10 May 2018

    Sometimes you just need to do some on-site research. I’m working on world-building for a follow-on series to the Rune Witch books, to be set in a small community along the Oregon Coast. So, darn! I had to go to the coast for work. I’m such an unreasonable and demanding boss. I had a tight…
