• Finding My Groove

    “Something Good” Sunday I found my creative groove. After spending some time being resentful of the idea that I need to have a large social media presence in order to get my book published, I have gotten fully on board with it. I’ve been working on posting things on all of my accounts each day,…

  • Writing Inspiration and a Moment of Zen

    “Something Good” Sunday There have been quite a few good things this week. It’s definitely been interesting.
