Operation Vacation

September 18, 20201 Comment

2020 vs. the anniversary. We wanted to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. 2020 tried to stop us. All in all, I'm going to call it a tie.

Coffee, Write, Repeat

July 24, 20203 Comments

Life in the midst of a pandemic can be a tad monotonous. But as long as we have our health, coffee, and words to write, we'll be okay. Right?

Well, it’s been a year.

July 10, 20204 Comments

Almost, anyway. Hi there, loves. Remember me? In November I wrote a post explaining that I didn't know what you could expect from me because I didn't know what I could expect from myself. Once I wrote that particular post, I put all of this away. I very rarely check anything except my DMs on … Continue reading Well, it’s been a year.

You deserve the truth

November 20, 2019November 20, 20191 Comment

I've been avoiding this for a while. Part of me thought if I didn't acknowledge this, it would just vanish. Another part of me thought I could force myself. Another part of me figured no one cared. But some of you do care. I mentioned previously that I had gone through something a few months … Continue reading You deserve the truth

September, Finally

September 5, 2019September 5, 20192 Comments

We know that in September, we will wander through the warm winds of summer's wreckage. We will welcome summer's ghost. -Henry Rollins August sucked. I'm so freaking glad it's September I can barely see straight. I know that technically it's still summertime. It feels like summertime outside...though we did have a glorious "False Fall" a week or two … Continue reading September, Finally

Hiatus Over.

August 28, 2019August 30, 20194 Comments

Okay, so, I feel like I've made a statement like this far too many times. I had to go on an impromptu hiatus. I took down my website and blog. It wasn't because I was concentrating on finishing or fixing my book. It wasn't because my dad was in the hospital again. I am not … Continue reading Hiatus Over.

Trails and Trials

"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves." -Sir Edmund Hillary “Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you are climbing it.” -Andy Rooney "In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks." -John Muir Happy Tuesday, people! Sometimes a single … Continue reading Trails and Trials

Indie Author Marketing Still Sucks…Pt 1.

July 30, 2019July 30, 20195 Comments

"Nobody counts the ads you run; they only remember the impression you make." -Bill Bernbach That's a massive title, yes? Let me explain. Two years ago, I wrote a post entitled Marketing Sucks. Guess what? It still does. I stand by pretty much everything in that post, the exception being...is writing a book a remarkable … Continue reading Indie Author Marketing Still Sucks…Pt 1.

The Comparison Game

July 23, 2019July 23, 20194 Comments

Comparison can turn friends into adversaries. -Frank Sonnenberg Morning, lovelies! Hopefully you're having a lovely day and great start to your week. I'll be honest, my weekend and my Monday were rough. I had a pretty gnarly headache. Not a migraine, thankfully, but this nagging pain going right across the back of my skull and … Continue reading The Comparison Game

Wake Up. We’ve Got Work To Do.

July 16, 20191 Comment

“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” -Ernest Hemingway Hello there, you beautiful person you. Last week I gave a little insight as to what it was like when I quit my job. This week, as I mentioned, I am going to talk a little about what … Continue reading Wake Up. We’ve Got Work To Do.
