I don’t wanna write myself into a hole. I wanna write myself free. I wanna write myself into the place that makes me better than I was yesterday. If I could I’d write a million dollars into my bank account. If I could I’d write my family and friends safe and healthy lives. I’d writeContinue reading “Write Myself Free”

Drunk on Writing
You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you, Ray Bradbury I have committed to this philosophy when it comes to my novel. For a short time, I focused only on formal editing. Grammar, wording, formatting and completely lost touch with my novel. It didn’t feel good to keep working on something IContinue reading “Drunk on Writing”
Marching
Don’t let a few mistakes keep you from reaching your potential. Adjust. Rethink. Reorganize. Keep marching on. There’s supposed to be mistakes! The world where people act like everything’s perfect and fine is over. We fess up. We talk about feelings and we try our best to connect with others. Plus, you know what theyContinue reading “Marching”

Write with Me
Writing has brought me a long way. Writing, mentors, and self love have changed me for the best. I still have a lot of work to do. It’s still pretty hard for me to choose myself and me time over family/home time. Even just once a week I struggle to take myself out for myself.Continue reading “Write with Me”
Moments
There’s is nothing in the world that fills my heart more than seeing my family laughing and playing together. Those impromptu dance sessions in the kitchen make me feel like I’m in a bubble away from all the chaos going on in the world.
Research Trips
I’m reading through Creativity Inc by Ed Catmull. I’ve reached a section of the book that talks about creating as a group. And one of the section titles is called Research Trips. Writers! Are you taking research trips?! This makes me laugh hard and get excited because the adventures are endless here. I chuckle becauseContinue reading “Research Trips”
