I have not had the energy, nor motivation, to write the last few days. I do not know if it is work exhaustion, depression, or what. I asked myself what I could do to get my butt in gear. While sitting and pondering ideas, I received an email from a website: The Write Practice. Perfect […]
I have been slacking on my writing. I set goals to complete, but do not. Despite my efforts, I become distracted after a while. These distractions range from watching Netflix or Hulu, to thinking about what my shift will be like at work the next day. In other words, I find my mind being pulled […]
Here we are, pushing the middle of September. Here I am, sitting here writing a blog post. To be honest, it feels good to be doing so. I have missed blogging, and writing in general. It has been a while since I have written anything. I work two jobs, so it does not surprise me. […]
By my participating in StoryStorm 2019, I am inspired to start setting writing goals for myself. There are two types I will start with: daily and monthly. As time goes by, I may start setting long-term goals. Of course, as with any goal, one must come up with a plan of action to fulfill it. […]
Today, the annual StoryStorm 2019 has begun. It is something I look forward to each year. Fun fact: StoryStorm was originally called PiBoIdMo (Picture Book Idea Month). You might be wondering what StoryStorm is. It is a yearly writing challenge, held every January, that is open to all writers. It is hosted by Tara Lazar. […]
This year was one of the most stressful, unkind, and horrible years of my life. Honestly, it is one I hope to never re-live again. Not only did it affect me on every level imaginable, my writing suffered as well. In all honesty, I did not write much at all. With that being said, I […]
In a previous post, I wrote how 2018 is a new year, and that means we have a fresh start. I mean, who would not want to have a better year, than the previous one before? Everyone hopes that each year is better than the one before. Although this is my writing blog, when I […]
I must admit, I have not written anything – yet. However, I did manage to read four of the StoryStorm articles. With my schedule, that is an accomplishment. Today, I plan on reading the remaining articles. Afterwards, I can write about them here, like I did with the previous PiBoIdMo challenge. That is always my […]
StoryStorm, formally known as PiBoIdMo (Picture Book Idea Month), is back again. I have participated before. It was fantastic fun. I was going to participate in last year’s round, but life got in the way. I have decided to give it another try. I enjoyed this challenge so much. It is better, and less stressful, […]
The first week of 2018 has come to an end. New Year’s resolutions have been made … and broken. Instead of making resolutions, set goals. At least you cannot break those! I have not written in a while, due to my day job and starting my own business. As a writer, I am kicking myself. […]
