Hidden Writing
I am fascinated by the concept of the words your average person writes in a day. Obviously this differs drastically depending on your job and lifestyle, but bear with me. I work as an assistant. I spend my 8-4pm hours writing emails, creating calendar events, typing up and distributing meeting notes—it’s a lot of writing, Continue reading

Unveiling the Writing Process: Join My Journey with Tarnished Heroes
I have come to believe that writers are a bit too secretive, at times. Don’t get me wrong—there’s a time and a place for protecting your work. Intentional promotion schedules exist for a reason and if that’s your style, I’m not going to yuck your yum, so to speak. For most of us, though, this Continue reading

Musing: The Current State of My Music Library
I listen to a lot of music—while washing dishes, writing, driving, walking the dog—and I feel like over the years I’ve developed a solid musical taste. It isn’t for everyone; just ask my husband! Metal and hard rock aren’t two genres I typically pull out for the whole car to listen to during a long Continue reading

Consistency in Writing: Lessons from My 2024 Experience
One of the things I am most proud of from 2024 is the dedication I showed to my writing in the last six or so months of the year. Before 2024, I can confidently say that I wasn’t really writing consistently. I had a draft for The Spiraling, but it had sat in my Google Continue reading

Random Musings: Hobbies
Something I’ve run into the past few months is the fact that I’ve made my favorite hobby—writing—into a job and, therefore, it is no longer relaxing in the same way it used to be. It’s so important for humans to have hobbies. I think it resets us after a long day (or week… or month) Continue reading

2025 Projects
As most people, I kick off the new year every year with a bit of good old-fashioned goal setting, and 2025 was no different. I’ve got a lot planned for the next year, and not much free time to do it, so staying on track is going to be important! I hope you are as Continue reading

Using Capacities to plan my writing
I spoke a little bit a few months ago about the various tools and methods I use to write (Planners, Calendars, & Journals – Oh My!) and I mentioned that I was using Capacities to store my inspiration and various story ideas. I figured I’d give a brief update, as I’ve changed my methods a Continue reading

Breaking Through Embarassment
There’s something distinctly embarrassing about self-promotion. I’m sure it’s tied up in societal ideals about being humble, or how in high school everyone pounces on anyone who shows any sign of being too confident in themselves. Whatever the cause, I have the hardest time talking about accomplishments. If you were to ask me on any Continue reading

Why I Self-Published?
I queried The Spiraling, and have been rejected about a hundred times. I brushed it off for a while—you hear stories all the time about authors whose work was rejected and then BAM, they are an international bestseller. After a few dozen, though, constant rejection starts to feel a little personal. In our modern age Continue reading
