Stayin’ Alive

Thanks to the tenacity of SummerShoesRequired, I have been inspired to write a blog post! I’ve been busy this summer, but I believe I’ll have time in the coming months to actually relax and maybe crank out some writing/editing. Very much excited for this possibility! Fall has always been my go-to, ultra-productive season, and I’m more than ready. For those who have stayed with me thus far, thank…

I won’t bore anyone with the details, but let’s just say a lot has happened since I posted last. I’m sorry I went dark, truly. I would love to say that I’ve used my free time to write, publish and go on a few book tours -but I haven’t. My time has been divided up between work, school (I’m now attending ASU online) and trying to keep my social interactions going (both online and now in person).…

Who knew we would even make it this far, am I right?

Bright side, the weather has given in to the full swing of Fall. I drove through gusts of fallen leaves to work, had an iced pumpkin spice latte -I work at Starbucks, and have joined the Pumpkin Army- and took great joy in the fact that it was dark before seven in the evening. What’s not to love? Pumpkin carving, sweaters, hot tea and…

Well, everything hurts. The bestie and I have been moving out of the place we’ve been house sitting for six months, and have dumped ourselves into my besties basement. She is moving back home, and I’m moving into the basement. The two of us have moved more furniture and climbed more miuntains of stairs than I EVER expected to in a singular week of my life. That has been the majority of my last…

My small group of friends and I have been doing once a week rp sessions to keep ourselves sane -as safely as we can, of course! But it’s been helping me get the creative wheels turning.

On my way to and from work I listen to music playlists that inspires me. Todays had a rockin’ 70’s vibe, and I made it just for a campaign I’m going to run soon. I’ve made playlists for almost everything in my…

I’m setting a few goals this month, and getting back into the creative mind-space of writing is toward the top of the list. Wish me luck! Basically, I’m going to treat the second half of this year as it’s own identity. The last few months…well, they’ve been shit for basically everyone, right?

Yeah, same.

So, starting today, it’s my new version of 2020. So be on the lookout for more posts…

I, like most people, have lost the last month (six weeks, actually) of my life to staying home, playing videogames and eating snacks.

I recently started going back to work and being “essential.” Although, in my opinion, coffee isn’t actually essential. Humans are just addicted to it, and sugar, and claim it to be important. Thankfully my manager was amazing and let me stay home all through…

With a new amount of free time, coming in mass soon, I should have more time to dedicate to typing. Who knows how that will go, but I’m willing to try!

Anyone have any writing tips for someone who may get stuck at home for a few weeks? I know there are others out there who are in the same boat as me. Drop a comment and let me know if you have any advice!

The time I have in between my to-do-list of adulting has been filled with friends and podcasts (yes, I know, I’m late to the game on podcasts!). But one thing I have been loving more and more…is silence.

Time to think.

Time to reflect.

Time to plan.

Most of my ideas come to me at the most silent of times. Like most of you, I’m sure, I find either the car ride to work or a shower in…

Welp, I strained my back at the coffee shop, so here I sit -heating pad at full charge- at home…recovering.

I will admit, the time to decompress is nice, but I do feel a little restless. My life has been in a fairly great full swing, lots of actual journaling, enjoying my day job and loving teaching my classes. But yesterday seemed to be a shit show for almost everyone I know.

Just so you…

Not only is today the Holiest of days (Taco Tuesday), but today is also the end of the year here on this planet.

I think, with all of the ups and downs, I’m pleased with how this year went. There was a lot of pain, and thanks to that, there was a lot of growth. And there were loads of tacos along the way as well. But, it is now time to look forward.

Within the next month or so I plan on…

Check out my mum’s new post! 🙂

I had no idea that changing locale could do SO MUCH for the mental head space of writing!

The first hint of brilliance was typing in a Starbucks…three pages, bam, done. Yesterday I woke up early to go with my besty to her college, to use the atmosphere to try to keep my typing chain going. Sure as shit, it worked. I sat down for a solid two hours and cranked out another four pages. This is by…

When It Rains…

It pours….
