Creative Stuff
Writing has dominated my posts lately (which is ironic considering I’ve barely written a word this year) but I’ve been busy doing other stuff, too. First, I have a new blog header! Y’all on readers, come take a peek. I hated the previous one because I flipped the picture and I could never get used to looking at my backwards self, but I’m very happy with this version.
I recently bought a new camera and it takes amazing photos and videos. While trying to download a couple movies of Owen, I ended up loading them into iMovie and making my very first movie. Ready for the fun?
Also, that’s my new place!
Finally, I have written a little bit. Here’s the opening line of what I’m hoping will work it’s way into the sequel for Flicker:
Before last month I never gave much thought to my school’s no-hats-allowed policy, but all that changed when Ramirez shaved my head.
What have you been up to?

I purchased my first home in the spring of 2012 and self-published a YA novel in November 2012.
Follow my journey as I simultaneously Pinterest-ify my home and spread FLICKER around the world.

LOVE the new header!
I’m looking forward to the next phase for the two books: marketing! It’ll be nice to drag myself out of the office and talk to someone in full sentences again.
