Wintersβ Day In
Spilling the tea since 2006. Wanna cuppa?
Conversations on life, faith, stories, and creativity from author and songwriter (and aspiring mermaid) Talena Winters.
Very Slowly, and then All At Once

Through the Fire
Weβre in the worst wildfire season in Albertaβs history, but thereβs a lot of other life stuff happening too. Thankfully, most of itβs good.
Writing and Other Adventures
The Sphinxβs Heart coming November 16, new print covers for Finding Heaven now available, and an update on my crazy life for the last several months.
A Matter of Perspective
Quick update on The Sphinxβs Heart revisions and some family stuff.
I Made it Through the Fire Swamp... Okay, close.
After many moons of silence, I recap why itβs been so quiet here for the last six months: my journey through burnout.
Hair, shoulder pads, and nukes.
Another personal update written to the company of Doctor Who. In general this new is becoming normal. Plus a strange thing to be thankful for right now.
Random Wordings
Updates on my brain state, what Iβve been up to with writing, knitting, and more, Patreon, author life, and a giveaway for my readers.
Turning Points
In which I talk about When Words Collide, the hierarchy my kids used to survive the weekend (and provide therapy fodder for later), the Adventures of Hagrid and Dumbledore, and purple hair. Also, a sneak peek at whatβs coming next βround these parts.
Remembering How to Chillax
In which I discuss the family vacation, progress on The Sphinxβs Heart, and introduce our trip mascots, Hagrid and Dumbledore.
Work Afraid
Hereβs a secret: Weβre all afraid. Every person who succeeds at something has had to confront fear at some point to get to where they are. The trick is to start anyway.
A Winterβs Day In βThrough the Lensβ
Today, I had a break from writing. So it was kind of a look-at-life-through-the-lens sort of day. Here are a few things my camera and I saw. Also, I was so honoured to be featured on Mary DeMuth's podcast the Restory Show.
Enjoying the Little Moments
Summer has been challenging for me as a work-from-home mom, but we've also made some great memories. And I am much more able to put aside my anxiety at my unfinished to-do list than I ever used to be and just enjoy the little moments.
