Take care, be gentle with yourself, and celebrate as much as you can, even if it’s just making your morning cup of coffee. The world is stressful, but you're allowed to take a bit of a break from it, every now and then, and recognize how much you've accomplished.
New Writing Adventures!
So, uh...guess who's on Wattpad? I hope you guessed me because I now realize that I could be asking that question about...literally anyone else. Because there are definitely a TON of people on Wattpad. Anyway, yeah! I'm on Wattpad! I was trying to post my creative pieces (specifically my nonfiction ones) to Medium, but I …
National Novel Writing Month is Over – What’s Next?
There’s a lot to update y’all on. First, let’s start with NaNoWriMo. We’re almost a week out from NaNoWriMo, and…surprise, surprise, I didn’t get to the 50k word count goal. That’s okay! I had the odds stacked against me. I started a week into the month, and I took a trip during the last week …

Okay, so the planning stages for the book are coming to a close. I just have one more central character to do a profile for, and then I should pretty much be good to go! This stage of the planning is something I really wanted to make sure I paid close attention to, because the …
She’s Got a New Look (And Other Updates)
So you may have noticed a little bit of an aesthetic update to the blog/website. If so, neat! If not, welp, now you know! Also neat! I've had some art work in the works for quite a while, and I just received the files a few days ago! I desperately wanted to change up my …
