A Literary Lifestyle
A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Paper Blots' rendition of The Rising Author Tag and since it's been a minute since I've posted a tag (and a minute since I've talked about writing), I figured I'd lump these two things together in one happy lil post. I'm not tagging anyone or necessarily following the…

Today, I'm discussing something that impacts my life on a daily basis: why I hate sharing my writing. As a writer, my goal is to publish my work. The thought of holding my book, flipping through its pages and knowing that readers around the world are doing the very same, quite literally gets me out…

Asy'all know, I've been working on a young adult thriller novel since the beginning of time. (It was actually August 2016, but it feels like I've been working on it since the beginning of time.)

It's that feeling when you know you should be writing something, but you can't think of anything but complete, utter garbage. Of all writing-related topics to discuss, I feel like this is the topic we bloggers turn to with a startling frequency. Writers are…
Hello, friends! Today I'm going to share a little bit about my month in terms of what I read, what I wrote, and what I did with my life other than obsessing over literature. Let's do this. This month I was a good little reader. I finally caught up to my Goodreads challenge and am feeling…
The title of this post is pretty self-explanatory: I have blog burnout. In short, this means that I have a blog for which I want to craft eloquent posts, but I simultaneously feel like sitting down at a computer to crank out a single line of text might be proverbial equivalent of pulling my own…

I've gotten a lot of nominations for awards lately and I thought I'd combine them all into one awkwardly long post of awards! Without further ado, let's get this party started. I was nominated for The Sunshine Blogger Award by Rayne @ Rayne at the Bus Stop, and Ally @ Ally Writes Things, so thanks…
