I'll start this honestly. For way too many years I trashed NaNoWriMo because I was an arrogant kid. Simple as that. I made my own rules on how you should write and churning out a book in a month went against all those rules. You can't put out quality work so fast. Does a book end at… Continue reading NaNoWriMo: What I Learned

Making A Mistake
Even the best decisions can end up not quite how you want or thought. You can come into something whole-heartedly, weigh the pros and the cons, and walk away relieved. There's a problem though: If you haven't addressed the issue, that solution won't work. You can cut all your arms and legs off, lock yourself… Continue reading Making A Mistake
“I Need A Break”
Unfortunately, to a lot of people a 24-year-old recent college grad with no specific 9-5 office job doesn't need a break from anything. No break from working out, I'm young. No break from writing because it isn't "a real job". No break from anything because let's face it, I just sit around and do nothing… Continue reading “I Need A Break”
Panicking About Time? Read This.

De-clutter and Give Away

We're talking about de-cluttering your space, your life, and what you can do if you're the type of person to develop emotional attachments to objects and things. But I'm late for a good… Continue reading De-clutter and Give Away
Get Uncomfortable
All right! So far, today sucks. It's been a stressful few months or so. And of course, like anyone else, sometimes I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Sometimes you just wake up agitated, especially if you didn't sleep well. Which is kind of my case. To phrase it simply, I'm… Continue reading Get Uncomfortable
Spring Clean Your Brain
It's getting pretty stinkin' close to summer, but there's still time to spring clean our brains. At least here, in Chicago, it's finally starting to warm up, brighten up, and feel like spring/summer. It's been way too cold, cloudy, and rainy to feel like a real spring. We may have even skipped it altogether however… Continue reading Spring Clean Your Brain
Do You Have Asthma?
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a doctor. But I do have asthma. And I did think I had asthma for quite awhile before I went to a doctor. And I did struggle from it. And I knew there could be something more serious. But...I did nothing? Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com All right, let's… Continue reading Do You Have Asthma?
Letting Go
Well here I am to talk about grief, memories, and the fear of losing everything. This is going to be split up a little differently than normal. The first chunk here is going to be discussing grief and the second part will just be some kind words. Let's get started. Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com… Continue reading Letting Go
“I’m A Pack Rat”
But I am not a hoarder. If you walked into my house, sat in my car, or worked at my desk, you would not think that I am a little bit of a pack rat and that I always have been. I keep things clean and tidy. And I don't pile up trash. Here's the… Continue reading “I’m A Pack Rat”
