Good Night

I hope you had a wonderful day. I hope the sunshine warmed your heart and soul. Today was one more day of learning what you want, and maybe even what you don’t want. I just ask you this one thing for tonight. In a world full of anxious souls, be intentional about finding your peace.Continue reading “Good Night”

Writing Space

I’ve finally moved my writing space to the kitchen table, but now my writing space is more of a shared space. So, some distractions come and go, especially during summer. I think once we’re back in school, I’ll have more quiet time to write. I’m okay with the kitchen table being my desk, but I’veContinue reading “Writing Space”

Home Sick

I spent the weekend trying my best to fight off the cold but today I was feeling pretty bad. I got myself some soup and rested when I could. Hopefully I can get some good rest tonight and feel better tomorrow.

Random Thoughts

Thanks for the Lift

There are people in this world who speak casually and have no idea of the impact of their voice. Sharing words of encouragement is free. What’s great about receiving words of encouragement is that there’s no use in fighting to get them – let those words come. Be open to where they come from. AndContinue reading “Thanks for the Lift”

Romance

I think I’m going to add a little romance into my novel. It will give my novel dimension and make it more interesting. It’s not going to be a romance novel. It will just have elements of romance added to it. I’m not sure how I’m going to do this yet, but I think IContinue reading “Romance”

World Building -For Beginners

In the past I’ve mentioned that I prefer to write Character Led but I do want to develop my world building skills. I think the best way for me to do it, is to set my world up and work on it everyday until I know every nook and cranny by memory. Then allow myContinue reading “World Building -For Beginners”
