A Brief Peek Into How I Choose Book Locations!

Writer’s Block and How I Do or Do Not Deal – Part 2
This week I’ve been dealing with feeling overwhelmed about which project to work on first. I have several books started, creative writing homework, art projects, and I’m putting together a YouTube channel with my sister. Hair-pulling to follow… I’m thrilled to have so many things to do, but… when I get overwhelmed (even with good […]
Writer’s Block and How I Do or Do Not Deal – Part 1
Writer’s block – the art of turning “not” writing into a sport. Procrastination becomes your companion. Ideas of things to write about become things to do instead.

“Creative Sparks: Navigating Feedback and New Ideas”
Great class today! Not that most of my creative writing class time isn’t great—it is—but today I received some feedback on my Dating Die-Sasters novel. One of my classmates gave me some really good feedback, and then my professor shared his thoughts. I’m thrilled that he is okay with me using my book for class […]

Embracing Mixed Emotions: Another Health Wake-up Call🌻
Happy Sunday! Quick update before I go into my mixed emotions story. I have managed to keep all my goals for this quarter, even when I didn’t feel well, was traveling, or just not into doing them. So far, I am the only one in the group that has not missed any. Although two of […]
