‘The End’ in the Time of Pandemic
I finished writing my TENTH novel! I can’t fully give credit to social isolation. I’ve been closing in on ‘the end’ for several weeks so all it took was me continuing to write in the morning, as is my normal schedule. But as we can attest, these past few weeks have been anything but normal.
Getting to Know Kathleen Glasgow
Kathleen Glasgow is one of my favorite writers because she’s not afraid to dive deep into the darkest corners of despair. It can sometimes be hard to read, but it’s so important to explore all parts of life. Her first novel, Girl in Pieces, was a NYT best seller, and her second, How to Make Friends with the Dark, was equally compelling.
How I Bullet Journal
It took me close to a year to settle on a system that works for me, and since then I have talked to countless people about my method. The most common thing I hear is “I wish I could do something like this.” A couple friends have even gone so far as to buy the journal, but that’s as far as they get. So I am here NOW to break down my system with LOTS of pictures to show you that this isn’t rocket science. It’s not even science. It’s just a notebook and pretty pens and about 10-15 minutes per week.

2020: The Year of Being in the Moment
This year I’ve chosen the phrase BE IN THE MOMENT because this past year of slowing down and smelling the proverbial roses has taught me that none of this is worth it if you don’t appreciate what you already have.
NaNo No More
I’ve been a big supporter of NaNoWriMo since I first participated in 2009 (yes, TEN years ago), but about midway through November, I came to a realization: the no holds barred, write as fast as you can and worry about edits later mentality that makes NaNo what it is no longer works for me.
