vlog | first week of nano 2021
Husbando and I had a successful first week of NaNoWriMo. The week wasn’t without its struggles though. While Husbando is struggling with a few character motivations, I have been struggling with my own motivation for the story. I love my characters and both critique groups seem excited about the story…

vlog | kanban goals, craft books, & coffee
Last week was rough. I was going through some personal stuff at the beginning of the week, which (I assumed) would set the tone for the rest of the week. But–as it turns out–I have a great support system. With Husbando, Teddy, and some close friends, I was able to…

The Changing of Leaves and Projects
Having lived through it, the past week feels hectic, but it probably doesn’t appear hectic from the outside.

Routine is a Drill Instructor
I like routines. I like spontaneity. I like fingerless gloves. I like old dime store novels. I like–Oh wait, there was a point to this. Routines are something I need to establish in order to be more productive. Because in order to knock out a few of those bucket list…

Buckets for Words
When it rains, it pours… blog posts edition. You’ll have to bear with me as I flood my website with blog posts. I have a lot of stories to share. After all, before this week, it had been a year since my previous post. For example, there was that time…

I bought a blazer.
On a scale of “pajama pants at noon” to “owning a blazer,” how adult are you? I’m at a solid five since I am currently wearing pajama pants at noon but I also just got a blazer in the mail. My very first blazer. Like a freakin’ grown up. Now…

Time Machine
This video is sponsored by Squarespace. Except that this isn’t a video. Also a WordPress website so… I was thinking about my various creative outlets and remembered that I had a blog once. One that had been filled with words, purged, then filled again. Over and over. This never-ending cycle…
