These past few days have been incredibly hard on my family and myself. Dealing with loss is not easy, and especially watching it happen to someone very close to you is even harder. I'll be taking a short break from blogging and from social media for a few weeks. I'm flying out to Poland to … Continue reading Taking A Break
I've been working at my Day Job non stop this entire week, and I've got doubles all weekend so I've got even less time than usual to write and read. Sometimes, I have to wonder, when does my Day Job stop becoming just that? A day job is meant to be a supplementary place of … Continue reading Weekend Writing Goals
Yesterday, I spent some time with my good good friend JM Tuckerman. We've been working on some fun projects together, including our new YA book blog, bookedallnight.blog! We've had a little writing project in the works for a little bit now and I'm excited to see it evolve, but we've also started podcasting again. The … Continue reading Weekend Writes
I've been called a lover of apps. Mozzarella sticks, nachos, onion rings... wait. Not those kinds of apps. What I actually mean are applications, useful bits of tech that make my writing process smoother and a little more enjoyable. I'll start this off by saying that none of these apps are sponsored, I'm just a … Continue reading Useful Apps for Writers
I spend most of my Mondays at work, usually 10 to 5, but because I work in a BBQ restaurant, not a lot of people want ribs for lunch (JM Tuckerman is, of course, the exception. She wants ribs all the time). So Mondays tend to be pretty slow at work, and my managers don't … Continue reading Monday Reads
I'm pretty open when it comes to my depression and how it affects my writing. Mainly that I find myself unable to write pretty often. I talked a little bit about how this past semester was a rough one on this blog before, but yesterday I vented a little on my Twitter about how I decided to … Continue reading On Starting Up Again
*sings aggressively* Spring semester is over! Well, I just need to wait for feedback from my mentor, but I've submitted all of my work and I'm ready to relax! This past semester has been really rough. I went through a lot of lows. I spent a lot of time fighting my depression and it took … Continue reading Free for the Summer!
The semester is coming to a close a little too quickly for my liking; I've got less than two weeks to go before I'm done with my first year at SNC! It's a little strange to think about how I'm halfway through my MFA program when initially I hadn't even planned to attend one at … Continue reading We’re Almost There!
It's October! I keep promising to keep up with this blog more, but I always end up crushed under a pile of other responsibilities that this ends up being the first casualty. So. I'm back! Maybe! So I was recently accepted in Sierra Nevada College's Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children & Young … Continue reading Reading & Writing & Surviving
A month between blog posts? Well, at least I'm updating more than I used to! I'm getting better at this blogging thing, I promise. I've been breaking the mold recently, going out of my comfort zone and all. A week or so ago, I went up to New York to take a proofreader's assessment for … Continue reading April Updates
