It really seems like it's been a wild ride since March, hasn't it? I've found ways to cope - Learned new things where I could, allowed myself time alone to recharge my batteries, spoken to loved ones where possible.

Hello hello! I know I haven't posted on the Blog in a while, and for that I apologize.

And that's okay. Too often, we treat each day like a chore. There's a strict list of items… Continue reading Allowing Yourself Room to Breathe

Stability has not always been something I've been overly familiar with during my time on this earth; most days growing up always had some kind of unknown, some fear factor that I had to be wary of. Since I've gotten older, I've been able… Continue reading Comfort In Familiarity

So after spending the weekend recovering from a bad case of a cold mixed with the good ol' PMDD, I started working on getting back into the flow of regular posting and editing of my third draft. It's a work in progress getting back on my feet, but we're getting there. While I was working… Continue reading The Fear of Getting Published
