Habit Forming~

My daily Flash Fictions have proven to be -hopefully- helpful in creating a daily practice of writing. Of actively setting aside time to write, everyday, for me. And I have grown to enjoy my 'me-time,' and to understand that not everything you write will be good at first. Not everything you write will be good,…

Autumn 2020

Who knew we would even make it this far, am I right? Bright side, the weather has given in to the full swing of Fall. I drove through gusts of fallen leaves to work, had an iced pumpkin spice latte -I work at Starbucks, and have joined the Pumpkin Army- and took great joy in…

Long Story Short

It's been a hot minute, hasn't it? August was horrible. September, well, if you're aware of the fires in Oregon, I lived uncomfortably close to one of those. Needless to say, this month has been trash as well! We had to evacuate on my birthday -it's one I'll never forget. I'm almost back to my…

Ouch

Well, everything hurts. The bestie and I have been moving out of the place we've been house sitting for six months, and have dumped ourselves into my besties basement. She is moving back home, and I'm moving into the basement. The two of us have moved more furniture and climbed more miuntains of stairs than…

Editing, and Other Such Musings

I have received another copy of @summershoesrequired baby, and get to start editing it today! I'm super excited, as this woman is not only inspiration to create stories and someday -soon- to be published, but she is my mother and my reason for existing. Editing her book, her first ever book, has been such a…

T’was the Day Before Xmas Eve

Everything is going along rather smoothly, all things considered. I've grabbed my last Christmas gift, and that mean's I'm basically done for the rest of the year -unless I snag my tips tomorrow and do the ultra last minute gig. The roommates have things to buy at the local mall, so we get to all…

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…

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…

Riding the Wave

Rolling with the punches is something I'm used to, but riding the wave is something that is a little new. I'm still good though! One full week into my new job, and I feel like I'm rocking it -or at least, everyone I work with says so, so I'm sticking with it- teaching yoga has…
