Howdy! I never got around to doing a 2017 recap. But here's basically how my 2017 writing year went. Over my Christmas break, I sat down and outlined my 2018 writing goals. Which seem fairly lofty at this moment, given that I'm already behind on my Jan word count.... BUT, my oldest sister is … Continue reading Jumping In To A New Year

When Life Hands You Plums
Howdy! I know it's only been two weeks since I posted last, but I feel like it's been a lot longer. Also life has been crazy, so that's why I went with plums instead of lemons, because it hasn't actually been bad, I've just been a permanently exhausted pigeon with too many things to do … Continue reading When Life Hands You Plums
Time To Be Real.
Howdy! It's been a quick few weeks. I don't want to say "rough", more just tiring. Work has been really busy. I'm gradually getting into the swing of things there. I've halfway started to work out again. I finally got The Rise of Aredor books relaunched. I finished a novella. I got my edits back for The … Continue reading Time To Be Real.
Go With All Your Heart
Howdy! This is my Realm Makers recap post/amazing things I learned at the conference. I don't have pictures to share because, honestly, photography really isn't my thing. I think it's part of the writer brain that makes me want to just soak everything in visually and mentally and not try and snap pictures. So sorry … Continue reading Go With All Your Heart
Vacation, Jobs, & Fairy Tales
Howdy! All three things happened in the last week and a half, believe it or not. I went on vacation for the first time in probably 4-5 years. Isn't that terrible? My family had planned a two week trip out to Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee and I decided kind of last minute that I'd … Continue reading Vacation, Jobs, & Fairy Tales
Finding A New Dream
Howdy! Last Saturday marked one of the biggest milestones in my life. Ever. I graduated from Physical Therapy school!! I'm still not sure if it's sunk in or not. 🙂 My name is now officially Dr. Claire Banschbach, DPT. And I got to wear a dorky hat. 😛 It was a crazy day. I was … Continue reading Finding A New Dream
The Force Is With Me
Howdy! April was kind of awesomely productive for me, so therefore I am one with the Force and the Force is with me. Since it's May 4, I'm running with this. 🙂 As a recap - I finished writing a book! Ahhhhhh! The Wolf Prince is complete and took the rest of April off to rest … Continue reading The Force Is With Me
Life Lessons Learned From Fantasy Tag!
Howdy! So I missed my usual Thursday post because I kind of forgot it was Thursday and I'm pretty sure I missed a day somewhere this week. And I spent all of yesterday afternoon updating the website! (What do you think of the new look?) The lovely Deborah O'Carroll tagged me for the Life Lessons … Continue reading Life Lessons Learned From Fantasy Tag!
Staying Patient In A Fast World
Howdy! I'm back on clinical rotation and I'm learning tons. Not the least of which is patience and how important it is. My clinical setting is a skilled nursing facility where patients have come in from the hospital and aren't ready to go home yet. I was working with a patient the other day who … Continue reading Staying Patient In A Fast World
