This is another long overdue post, so I'll make this more short and sweet. 2019 was one of the best years I've had thus far when it comes to writing. I submitted 75+ times and had numerous drabbles accepted, while also having my first-ever standalone publication released. I wrote in total (including revision edits/outlining/free writing) … Continue reading Writing Update: End of 2019

Life Update: Quick Reflection on 2019 and Looking Ahead in 2020
So, after a long silence - I am finally back! I'm sorry for the lack of communication, but there was a much needed mental health break that needed to happen in December and I've been taking my time in recent weeks to have a full brain reset to prepare for the coming year. What's happening … Continue reading Life Update: Quick Reflection on 2019 and Looking Ahead in 2020
Nanowrimo Update #3
Update #3 and I'll be honest, this is starting to suck. I mean, it's not totally bad, I have enjoyed exercising this way, writing-wise. It has been great for my motivation in getting words on paper and it has been awesome seeing this story take form under my fingertips, but overall it is arduous, especially … Continue reading Nanowrimo Update #3
Nanowrimo Update #2
Okay, so this is update #2 obviously and this week has been much more of a slog than the first couple days, but I'm getting it done! I'm exhausted and I'm getting words on paper, in fact I just got done with my session tonight. Here are my daily counts for this week with the … Continue reading Nanowrimo Update #2
Nanowrimo Update #1

I'll be posting these updates every Tuesday until the end of the month, just to keep me accountable and keep you all updated. I'll have the stats from the past week posted below … Continue reading Nanowrimo Update #1
Writing as Work
So, I thought I had done a writing update almost three months ago, but apparently, I have not! I'm not sure that any of you truly care about these posts, but these are in a sense strictly for me to take stock, re-evaluate what's working, and to also update any of you that do care about … Continue reading Writing as Work
Review: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
This was definitely a different sort of memoir. I listened to this as an audio book, performed by Ray Porter and translated by Phillip Gabriel. This was the first thing that I have read from Haruki Murakami and I enjoyed it, even if his thoughts and reflections became tedious and more vague than anything truly … Continue reading Review: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
2019: Writing Ahead
This is another post that I have been dragging my feet on. It's funny since I had conceptualized what my goals were in December, but then after the 1st of the year, I've had to already begin adapting and creating new targets as more hurdles emerged. I guess that's just what happens right? So, looking … Continue reading 2019: Writing Ahead
Music For Your Writing
I've been wanting to share with you all something that I've been working on for awhile, which is my very own curated sci-fi playlist! It's nowhere near complete, but I've started it and it contains a lot of my favorite soundtracks and soundscapes to listen to while I write. I'm gearing up for a renewed … Continue reading Music For Your Writing
Sailing Back to Earthsea
People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within. Ursula K. Le Guin I'm sure that by the time you read this you'll have heard the news that Ursula K. Le Guin has passed at age 88 in her home. May she rest among the worlds of her making. I didn't … Continue reading Sailing Back to Earthsea
