It's been a while since I've posted anything about my writing life. So let's go! I recently submitted my second packet work to my mentor. It's my final semester and I'm writing my thesis now. It's a lot to think about, and the added pressure that this project is going to define me as I … Continue reading Writing Update
I sort of missed yesterday's log. We spent most of the day after workshop in the library doing some work. I plotted out the new parts of my thesis and I have a lot of things to do, but I have a new motivation for this story now. I got some great news this morning … Continue reading Residency Log: Day Seven

Right around the start of October, I went into a deep, downward spiral and my depression just wouldn't let up. It was … Continue reading Winter Break
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
