Happy Friday, everyone! Normally, I come to you at the start of the weekend with a longer post on writing, but with my husband being ill and at home this week, my schedule has been all over the place. Therefore, I haven't had time to write the post I had planned for today, but I … Continue reading When things don’t happen the way you planned…

It’s Not About Me
Note: Today's the last day to vote for my 100 followers celebration! I'm also diving headlong into my journey of writing a novel in 3 months, which you can follow on Ko-fi! I'll admit, I'm tired. The last couple of months have been a rollercoaster for me. I've celebrated my first wedding anniversary with my … Continue reading It’s Not About Me
The Magic of Little Coffee Shops
I'm a city-dweller - you know, rush hour traffic, a major interstate a mile away, tourists, every restaurant chain you could ever dream of, etc. I was blessed enough to find a quiet nook of the city to live in, which is my perfect bubble. Utter peace inside, but lots to do outside. Still, there's … Continue reading The Magic of Little Coffee Shops
The Art of Never Giving Up
Writing a novel is hard. We probably all know this, and yet, many of us set out to accomplish this mighty feat. Isn't it amazing? But when you're in the middle of writing a book, sometimes it doesn't feel so amazing. I've been on a rollercoaster with my WIP, "Project Pea," over the past 15 … Continue reading The Art of Never Giving Up
Stretch Your Brain with Writing Warmups
When you work out, you do a warmup before you start. Before a soccer game, you do a warmup to get you going. Even artists warm up with quick sketches before they get to work. So why don't we talk about writing warmups more? I'll admit that I haven't been the best at doing them … Continue reading Stretch Your Brain with Writing Warmups
Idle Imaginings — My “Dream Life”
Everyone is always dreaming that they’re somewhere else. Really, it’s no wonder. This world can be cruel and cold, and all of us need an escape sometimes. But the important thing is to remember that this is life, and we all have something we’re called to do. Imagination is a wonderful thing, but it’s also … Continue reading Idle Imaginings — My “Dream Life”
Blank Pages
Anne of Green Gables once said: "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it...yet." Or at least, L.M. Montgomery put the words in Anne's mouth. I like to think about this quote in terms of the new year. Isn't it a wonderful thought that this is a whole new year with hundreds of … Continue reading Blank Pages
Behind and Before
Hey, everyone! Long time no see, sort of. Life has been interesting recently for a multitude of reasons. I’ve gone through a lot of personal challenges in the past couple of months specifically, and I’ve learned more than I could ever describe in words—but I’ll do my best to do just that! This wasn’t something … Continue reading Behind and Before
“That’s Life”
Hello again, everyone! I hope you're doing all right out there with all the craziness that's going on in the world today. Sending lots of love, hugs, and prayers to anyone who needs them! I'm making this brief post just to say 1) Sorry for being gone for a little while! and 2) I'm about … Continue reading “That’s Life”
My Peter Capaldi Experience
It’s not a secret that Doctor Who is my favourite show—but within that show is one of my favourite characters of all time, the Twelfth Doctor. He’s played by Scottish actor Peter Capaldi, and after watching countless interviews and behind the scenes footage I fell in love with the man behind the Doctor, too! Today … Continue reading My Peter Capaldi Experience
