Stayin’ Alive

Thanks to the tenacity of SummerShoesRequired, I have been inspired to write a blog post! I've been busy this summer, but I believe I'll have time in the coming months to actually relax and maybe crank out some writing/editing. Very much excited for this possibility! Fall has always been my go-to, ultra-productive season, and I'm…

One Pandemic Later

I won't bore anyone with the details, but let's just say a lot has happened since I posted last. I'm sorry I went dark, truly.

Writing to Write

It's been so nice to be able to work on my writing these few days. I've completed a flash fiction a day since my last post here, and I think I'm going strong. Not to mention, the feedback has been fairly good -not to brag. Here we are, six days into October, and I feel…

NanoWriMo 2020: PREP

It's only October -best month of the year!- but I have decided to start my NanoWriMo prep a little early this year. I always feel like November sneaks up on me, and I have to start RIGHT THERE. But this year, will be different. This year I am going to be writing all through October.…

Music and Inspiration

My small group of friends and I have been doing once a week rp sessions to keep ourselves sane -as safely as we can, of course! But it's been helping me get the creative wheels turning. On my way to and from work I listen to music playlists that inspires me. Todays had a rockin'…

On the Advancement of Writing

I'm currently juggling a few pieces. One is my baby, and I work on it on occasion, there is always a slot for short stories, and the surprise love of the moment is a story I didn't even know I wanted to write. My current word count for the latter is: 14,392. This is somewhat…

Sleeping

Not going to lie, I've basically slept most of yesterday. My sleeping schedule has been a "little" off since I started working as a barista -the hours have been all over the place. Opening and closing shifts int he same week have made for a difficult time of finding when to sleep. So, around holiday…

Thanksgiving 2019

Welp, I won't be finishing my story in time for NanoWrimo...but so it goes. My holiday is at least going fairly well, so that is something. I don't have a lot of time to post here, but I at least wanted to get everyone up to date on my goings on. Bright side though, I…

So Much Noise

Last night I worked my first closing shift at the coffee shop, and this morning I had to teach two yoga classes...early. Needless to say, I didn't get a whole lot of sleep between getting home late, jacked up on coffee, and my alarm at seven this morning. Honestly, I'm feeling a little dead. More…

A Month in a Week

Have you ever had the experience where it feels like you've lived a month, but then you realize that it's Thursday or Friday? That's where I'm at currently. This week has been quite a week. I'm starting my new day job, still teaching, and managing to have a social life and sleep on top of…
