I’d love for everything to work out in my favor. The hard part is the challenges that come before the reward. The challenge isn’t always the tilling or busy work. It’s not always connecting and creating the best log line. The challenge that comes before the reward is often the same wall I keep runningContinue reading “Walls”

Poetry from Paintings
I’m at a part in my novel where my main character, Christian, walks into a room created by her mother that’s identical to a painting Christian’s currently working on. We see Christian’s connection to the painting earlier on the story, but I don’t explain too much about the painting. So right now I’m exploring differentContinue reading “Poetry from Paintings”

I’m feeling depleted tonight. I had a great day though! I just really struggle with blogging daily. Maybe someday this will get easier but for now, it’s quite the challenge. When I feel like this, I like to remind myself why I blog. I blog daily because I sleep better and my days go betterContinue reading “Blogging Daily”
Be Proud of Yourself
I was brought up in the Christian community. A big thing that we were taught growing up was to be humble.

That’s just two things. It says here, one out of the two things, the earth, was formless andContinue reading “Genesis 1”
Imagination Play
As a kid, I loved imagination play when no one was looking. My favorite part of my room was where we set up house corner. I didn’t always have that room, but when I did, that was my favorite part. All the fake kitchen stuff was set up in a way that separated house cornerContinue reading “Imagination Play”
