How do you know when you’re finished with your story? I always cut mine short. I tend to rush through the endings and not take my time the same way I do when I start. Sometimes I think I just wanna be finished. Sometimes I just feel like it’s a good place to end. ThingsContinue reading “Abrupt Endings”

Your Why Your Reason
Remind yourself of the things you love. Review your reasons why when life seems to be dragging you around. I found my peace in rest and staying focused on my why the last couple days.

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.
