The latest from India Drummond. Thoughts on writing, creating, publishing, and what she’s up to on social media.
Strange Times
I always intend to update social media more than I do, but I tend to get so engrossed in whatever project is on my desk at the moment. So to update for pre-spring! (Because Spring is threatening to come, but it's not quite here yet.) It's March and I've already been...
2020!
I'm a bit late for a Happy New Year, but time just gets away from us all, doesn't it? So 2019 was a bit of a strange one for me, but not in bad ways! Like everyone, I've had my struggles, and sometimes I wasn't sure how I was going to get through it. But something...

It's always a bit awkward, coming back from a hiatus. How do I explain? I'd nearly always rather be working than not, and I realize this pressure to feel like I'm constantly producing more comes from me and no one else. However, sometimes needs must, and family and...
Social Break
This spring has just been a mess. You know what they say about the best laid plans. April itself wasn't too bad. I finished my pre-beta edits on Daughters of Misfortune and got it off to beta readers on schedule. Even a little early, which is unusual for me. But then...
