A few thoughts about time

Oct 14, 2025

I know I’ve been quiet and borderline absent here on the blog for… oh… a couple of years now.

And I do apologize for that. Working on The Turrim Archive has taken a lot out of me. Not in a bad way. I’m not here to complain or tell you things have been hard. It’s more just… time.

Time is a rare commodity. And that’s something I notice and am more and more keenly aware of as each year flies by. Oftentimes, things get cut. And I have to find something to say “no” to. As a chronic “yesser” to anything that sounds remotely fun, this has been a hard, but good lesson for me to learn these past couple of years.

Have I learned how to say “no” to things that sound good and fun?

We’re going on an adventure!

Meet the author

Jenelle Leanne Schmidt

Jenelle first fell in love with stories through her father’s voice reading books aloud each night. A relentless opener-of-doors in hopes of someday finding a passage to Narnia, it was only natural that she soon began making up fantastical realms of her own. Jenelle currently resides in the wintry tundra of Wisconsin —which she maintains is almost as good as Narnia — with her knight-in-shining armor and their four hobbits. When she is not writing, she homeschools said hobbits and helps them along on their daily adventures... which she says makes her a wizard.

Welcome, Dear Reader

You are stronger than you think. You are braver than you think.

Courage is not about an absence of fear, it is making the choice to face your fear and not let it rule you.

In my stories, you will travel to new worlds with vivid landscapes. You will meet characters who will become your friends. You will go on adventures and fulfill quests and overcome obstacles.

You will be home in time for dinner… but you will not go home unchanged.

Here, you will find a haven from the darkness of the world around you, and when you close the book, my great hope is that you will have found the strength to face that darkness, knowing you are not alone.
