Blog #13: Reading Suggestions for the New Year
I’m super excited for the new year to come, and I have a stack of “to be read” books. This stack includes: A Throne of Glass, Fourth Wing, and Haunting Adeline. I’m ready to go into the New Year with a goal of reading for the next 12 months.
Blog #12: Thoughts on New Writings
Hello, long time no blog. My little break did recharge me though, and hopefully I will get back to writing more (blog or stories). I tried to do NaNoWrimo this November, and let me just say it was a total failure. But it was good it happened! It steered me in a different direction and
Blog #11: A Court of Mist and Fury
Oh my god. Oh my god. OH MY GOD. So I finished book two in the ACOTAR series (A Court of Mist and Fury), and let me tell you, OH MY GOD. It was so so so good. I felt like there was more character building in book 2, and you felt more for these
Blog #10 Reading Burnout
Reading has always been a relaxing pastime of mine. As a child I would read any chance I could get. Get home from school? Go lay in my bed with a new book and just read for hours. Any free time at school? I would pull out a book and read. Sometimes I’d even read
Blog #9: Writing with Children at Home
The hardest part of writing and reading I’ve found is when my kid is at home. And being a stay at home mom this poses a problem. I am the primary caregiver while my husband sleeps and works. I’m not someone that can just casually write or just read one page in a book. I
Blog #8: Writing Inspirations
I’ve always loved hearing about what inspires people. Be it photography, art, writing, or making videos. What draws people to create, where do their ideas come from?
Blog #7: Topic of Mental Health
I think it’s obvious by now to anyone that reads my writings that I focus heavily on the topic of Mental Health. This is an important subject, personally, to me. There needs to be more fiction, non-fiction, and just all genres of writing about mental health.
Blog #6: Writer’s Block
Piggybacking off of my post about “How to End” writings, I’ve stumbled into writer’s block. Or maybe it’s just burnout. I finished the manuscript for my book Pill Bottle Romance, which was 260 pages, a few weeks ago and since then my incentive to write is none. I just feel like I have nothing else
Blog #5: A Court of Thorns and Roses
I started ACOTAR back in July, and I’m not going to lie the first 100 pages were rough. I kept trying to read it, but would read a page or two and put it down. I just couldn’t get into it. I just wasn’t buying what this book was trying to sell. And I just
Blog #4: Privacy vs Sharing
So I am currently writing a series of essays about mental health from the point of someone with a mental illness, called Spiraling Inwards. The question is how much do I share? People judge individuals with mental illnesses harshly, and I’m not willing to put myself out there like that yet. On the flip side,
