Spring in My Step

Hello everybody! Its springtime here in NY! I have been gone for quite a few months. Just work and things. Kinda havent felt the very best in terms of being confident about my writing, either. It seems now is a perfect time to write, read, and talk about writing with whats going on in the []

Failure

So its NANOWRIMO. Every year I have the best intention to write every day and complete a lot of writing work. And every year I fail horribly. I tried really hard this year but as each day went by, this giant wall just hit me. I cant write. I havent been able to write for []

Ignore the Gremlins

A couple weeks ago I had an opportunity to attend a writing/poetry fair at a local college. Many vendors, authors, and lovers of books and writing attended. Several panel discussions took place throughout the day and I wanted to attend one of them because mystery author Walter Mosley was going to be speaking. I wanted []

Weighing on Me

Howdy, folks, Today Im going to change gears a little bit. My topic is about body self-image and body dysmorphic disorder. I have very poor self-esteem as far as my body image goes. For some background, I weighed between 110-120 pounds for the majority of my teenage and adult life. Im a small girl, so this []

Keeping Up With the Joneses

You ever get the feeling youre not doing enough? Maybe not living up to what youre supposed to do? Word. Sometimes I feel like Im falling behind as far as being a writer goes. Like, there is some guidebook all other writers got on their first day, but I didnt get it. So now Im []
