In Search of a Keyboard
I’ve been watching videos and window shopping for a new keyboard. I do a lot of typing so I want something that will bring me joy but will also not damage my hands and wrists while I work. Since I’ve started working, I’ve bee really thinking about how I can make sure my workspace isContinue reading “In Search of a Keyboard”
Give Yourself a Moment
Don’t forget to remind yourself of how far you’ve come. You’ve put in a lot of effort. You’ve gone to places you didn’t think were possible. I’m here to remind you that here you are still going, still looking toward the future even after you’ve seen some pretty dark places. Some days faith may beContinue reading “Give Yourself a Moment”
Daily Focus
I haven’t really set any goals this year. I used to be big on goal setting because it really does feel great to smash them! But I think a lot of my goals at this point are going to take some time. That doesn’t mean I can’t break them down and celebrate action steps thatContinue reading “Daily Focus”
Presidential Debate
I had the debate playing during my writing session tonight. I feel like I’m getting old but what I thought was interesting was that 70% of people are not happy with the options. That’s not great news but it means we are all aware these two aren’t the best option. I believe we the peopleContinue reading “Presidential Debate”

Connecting with my daughters always feels rewarding. Getting back into the workplace has been a huge change but the hardest part is missing my girls. If IContinue reading “Connecting with my Girls”
Journaling Counts
As writers we can get overly focused on the story and forget all about the journaling aspects. Journaling your thoughts throughout the day or during your writing time, can really help keep you invested in the story. When I’m trudging through a rough edit session, my journal is what gets me through. I leave myselfContinue reading “Journaling Counts”
Some Things are Hard
We’re going back to the basics tonight. Some things are hard, but that’s no excuse to not do them. Doing something that challenges you literally reshapes your brain. Doesn’t matter what it is. Learning to communicate better, learning a new skill, upleveling your business, having a tough conversation. It all has moments where we haveContinue reading “Some Things are Hard”
Author: Chuck Wendig
So I happened across this author not too long ago. He has an interesting writing style. I typically appreciate Literary Fiction but Wendig writes more Horror and Suspense. I feel super chill while reading his book titled, “The Book of Accidents.” I don’t ever remember reading this genre with such calm. It weird because it’sContinue reading “Author: Chuck Wendig”
