As I mentioned last year, I have been trying to re-establish a steady reading habit since 2020 now. I was an avid reader from fifth grade all the way through high school. I’d devour books in a single day. But once I graduated, fell into the daily grind of a job and every adulting task … Continue reading 2025 Year in Books & 2026 Reading Challenge

“A Year Ago…”
“A year ago, I never imagined I’d…” You hear that saying a lot in the Writing Community. Some people can accomplish more than one first draft in a year. Some can have a fully polished novel in that same time frame. Some can multi-task multiple books and ideas at once. Some can make it through … Continue reading “A Year Ago…”
No 2025 Goals? Not Anymore
Do you remember this little paragraph from my 2025 Goals: Why I’m Not Making Any post back in January? “None of this is also to say I can’t one day in a week, a month, a few months from now change my mind and my direction for 2025. For now, though, there are no goals, … Continue reading No 2025 Goals? Not Anymore
2025 Goals: Why I’m Not Making Any
Yeah, you read that right. I'm not making any 2025 goals or resolutions for writing or otherwise. At least, I'm not making any in the traditional sense with big ambitions and time frames. The last six months have been hell on the personal front, and everything in life has suffered from it. I don't have … Continue reading 2025 Goals: Why I’m Not Making Any

Down the Camp NaNo Rabbit Hole
April showers bring May flowers. April days also bring NaNo words. (Yeah, I know, that one didn't rhyme at all.) The first Camp NaNoWriMo session of 2020 is upon us, amidst a truly upended world. For some that means the focus just isn't there as the world deals with such a unprecedented stress to be … Continue reading Down the Camp NaNo Rabbit Hole
Starting Over
What do you do when everything you've planned for and accounted for happening absolutely flops? Simple. You start from scratch again with a new approach and a new vision. For most people the thought of starting over is terrifying. Myself included. It sounds simple, to start over, but it's anything but simple. Starting over means … Continue reading Starting Over
What is Camp NaNoWriMo?

Reflecting On A Chaotic Win
Camp NaNoWriMo has come to a close for the year 2017, sadly. They always go by so quickly, each time making me realize I am way too close to the cold months, holiday madness, and the big November NaNoWriMo. (Which, as of right now, I have absolutely no idea what I'm working on during that … Continue reading Reflecting On A Chaotic Win
Progress Is Progress
Hello, world. Somehow I have once again managed to find my way to the surface to post. Truthfully, I had every intention of posting at the beginning of this month and keeping up with it this time. I even had all my Writer's Guide topics laid out for each week this month! That's a miracle! … Continue reading Progress Is Progress
