  • Well…

    Well…

    Life is super weird right now! I’m sure many of you feel the same. For me, this “stay at home” situation hasn’t changed my day to day too much. I’m very introverted anyway, and I’m a stay at home mom who works part-time from home. The biggest change is that my child now doesn’t have… Continue reading

  • PSA: My Tattoos Are Not About You

    So, every once in a while, I get a little ranty. Normally I try to vent to my bff or husband and keep it off the interwebs. I don’t like putting negativity out there; however, every once in a while, I feel like shouting out into the internet void. Off and on for a while,… Continue reading

  • Aging Gracefully

    I just celebrated my birthday. For the first time since I’ve been 30, I did not tell people I was turning 29. Guess that means I’m growing up. Or… I’m admitting defeat…. Anyway, happy reading and writing! Short story of the month will be posted tomorrow. Continue reading

  • Tides of Writing

    This summer my writing has taken a back seat to other activities — my trip to Japan, mostly. Even so, when I have been writing, it’s been in cycles. I haven’t been doing very well at writing a little each day. I need to get back into the habit. This has lead me to thinking… Continue reading

  • Playing Catch Up!

    This month has been much better than last month for me. I am holding myself accountable and trying my best to catch up on my personal goals. With that in mind, in the next few days, I am going to post not one but two short stories. I never finished my April one and I… Continue reading
