Go With All Your Heart
Howdy! This is my Realm Makers recap post/amazing things I learned at the conference. I don't have pictures to share because, honestly, photography really isn't my thing. I think it's part of the writer brain that makes me want to just soak everything in visually and mentally and not try and snap pictures. So sorry … Continue reading Go With All Your Heart
Write Fearlessly
Howdy! This might be a kind of rambly post because I'm not sure where I'm even starting with it.

But what happens … Continue reading Write Fearlessly

My family had planned a two week trip out to Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee and I decided kind of last minute that I'd … Continue reading Vacation, Jobs, & Fairy Tales
Write What You Know
Howdy! The other day I read a blog post about writing misconceptions. One of the top ones was "write what you know". The author of the blog called out whoever originally said that, and I totally agreed. I mean if you're to take it literally, you should have had more ridiculous adventures than Indiana Jones. … Continue reading Write What You Know
Finding A New Dream
Howdy! Last Saturday marked one of the biggest milestones in my life. Ever. I graduated from Physical Therapy school!!
