You deserve more than this.

You deserve more than the 80-120 hour work weeks. You deserve more than the dark rooms where you labor away with your cold lunch on your desk for 16 hours a day. You deserve credit for the work you’ve done, acknowledgement for your artistry and better treatment across the board.

I’ve worked for 10 years in film – 7 of those in VFX and I marvel at the fact that of all…

Writing and the Prevention of – SQUIRREL!

So I’ve been sick all week and used up 3 of my 5 sick days for the year and it’s only January. I’ve spent much of the time wishing I could sleep, staring aimlessly at various television/youtube shows and reading with some scattered attempts at writing.

Between fits of coughs and drastic ploys to attempt to fall asleep I’ve gotten barely any work done on my current writing projects. Everytime I…

As I sort out my life and my blog I wanted to let folks know that I’m splitting my blog into two.

My Sunday School Curriculum and all Preschool lessons I’ve written will now be posted under my blog: Preschool Gospel

I will keep all Sunday School teacher specific information over there.

This blog: The Story Block will continue to focus on my writing – of ALL kinds. Creative writing, writing…

My Nephew’s Vacuum – The Story of Victor Vacuum

At the time of writing this, I have 1 nephew whom I love to pieces and 0 nieces. Needless to say I was very excited to be an auntie and this kiddo is beyond amazing. Even though I live in another country and don’t get to see him everyday, I try to spend as much time as I can visiting.

When he was around 18 months old, he started becoming obsessed with vacuum cleaners. Granted I wasn’t present at…

My First Book – A Kickstarter Project

I’m just a few days away from launching my first book on kickstarter – a crowdfunding platform for projects. We created a board book: Victor Vacuum that we need help self publishing.

Why a book about a vacuum? A kid’s board book nonetheless.

Well, I’ll tell you.

My nephew has been in love with vacuums since he was about 18 months old. He got a toy toddler sized vacuum for Christmas and he just…

The blog has floundered a bit lately as I deal with some life stuff. But writing is coming back to the top of my game and I’m here to stay.

For some who don’t know, I am a Christian, and a Sunday School Teacher to toddlers. Specifically the 2 year old and 3 year old members of my church. I’ve been teaching in that age range for…16 years and I’m not stopping anytime soon.

That’s 16…

What I learned doing the 100 days of Happiness Challenge

It’s been a long, long, long time since I blogged. We’re back with a doozy of a post – so buckle in.   I recently completed the 100 days of Happiness Challenge. The idea behind the challenge is simple. For 100 days, take and post a picture of something that made you happy that day. I love a good challenge (if anyone recalls many moons ago when I challenged myself to blog every day for a year). A…
