Keeping Organized

I posted about using a bullet journal recently, and I figured I'd update you on how it's been going. I don't have any shiny pictures, but that's more because there's still a bunch of personal stuff on the pages that y'all don't need to see. Next time I set up a weekly page or so, … Continue reading Keeping Organized

Bad Blurbs Don’t Sell Books

This has been something stewing in the back of my mind for quite a while now, and I've actually talked about it so many times in so many different places, I just went back to make sure I hadn't actually written the blog already.

Sorry if it loses focus!) One of the more commonly asked questions I see floating around the writing community … Continue reading Background Music

What’s Coming Next

Yeah, it's another week with no book review. Sorry!! I don't have a great excuse, other than the last book I read is getting a review posted later this month so that it can keep close to the publication date, and I've been feeling busier than usual. But I figured we could talk about some … Continue reading What’s Coming Next

Five A.M., Waking Up in the Morning

(I hate myself for using that paraphrased lyrics. I hate myself.) Motivation is one of those words that gets thrown around for a multitude of reasons. It's what drives the marathon runner. It's what keeps the scholarship student's grades up. It's what we all hear that our characters all need in order to make for … Continue reading Five A.M., Waking Up in the Morning
