Writing Prompts & Migraines
Hey everyone! Anyone else on here get migraines? I’ve been getting them more frequently lately. The irony being that I have overhauled my life considerably to be less stressful, and yet…the migraines persist. This week during Tammy Evans’ PUSH group (which I’ve talked about here before), she gave us two prompts inspired by a poemContinue reading “Writing Prompts & Migraines”
Writing Prompts & Missed Calls
Hey everyone! Back at it with another writing prompt from one of my favorite writing communities: Tammy Evans’ PUSH Group! I’ve talked about PUSH Group before.

Writing Prompts & Witch’s Lairs
Hey everyone! I was going through my writing notebook and found a piece that I wrote at the beginning of last year. It was during a Saturday afternoon writing class with LA Writer’s Group, which I’ve talked about previously on this blog.

AND you get to make your own hours. Scratch that. BUT you get to make your own hours. For mood writers,Continue reading “How to Beat Your Writer’s Procrastination!”
A Note on New Year’s Resolutions
Well, hello everyone! On the eve of New Years, I’ve got to thinking about resolutions.

If You’re Struggling This Holiday Season…
Hey all. I didn’t think I’d write a post this week, but I was reading something that really resonated with me and wanted to share. Since the beginning of November, I’ve been dealing with near daily migraines. The pain is not the worst I’ve ever felt, but being in any sort of pain, big orContinue reading “If You’re Struggling This Holiday Season…”
Writing Prompt: Senses, Setting, & The Grocery Store
Hey everyone! How have you all be faring this holiday season? I gotta be honest, I haven’t been doing so great.

You HAVE to Read These Books!
Hey everyone! 2022 has been a big reading year for me. (Which sounds ridiculous considering I have been a life-long reader who majored in English and TAUGHT English for 13 years). But really, I didn’t have time to read voraciously until my life slowed down. Any way. In the last six months, I’ve read aroundContinue reading “You HAVE to Read These Books!”
