How to become a crazy plant lady

How to become a crazy plant lady

So apparently when I made the goal of “buy more plants” for 2018, I took myself seriously. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve obtained 16 plants, bringing my grand total to 20. So far there has been only one casualty. I’ve had a couple questions about the plant life so I thought I’d share here. Where do you purchase/get your plants?… Read More

What I Read in February

What I Read in February

Not a whole lot read this month. I don’t know about you, but I felt like this month was just weird. I know that January is supposed to be the “longest” month of the year, but for me, February felt like an eternity. Which is also a little surprising that I only got two books read, but it might be… Read More

February Thankful

February Thankful

I feel like I always have so much to be thankful for each month, and then when it comes time to write this post I always blank (which makes me feel so unthankful).

In Review: The Ambrose Deception

In Review: The Ambrose Deception

This book was too much fun. I loved following along with Melissa, Wolf, and Bondi as they tried to discover the answers to their clues. Chicago is the city on my bucket list that I just absolutely love (and my brother lived there for a couple years), and after reading this book I’m even more determined to make that trip… Read More

In our latest episode, we dive into the real struggles of transitioning from part-time to full-time writing. It’s not just about the words on the page; it’s about the daily habits and mindset shifts that lead to success.

We discuss the importance of keeping a writer’s log to track progress and hold ourselves accountable. It’s a game-changer! 

Writing is more than just a passion; it’s a commitment to our goals. And sometimes, that means adjusting expectations and embracing the unique path we’re on. 

What’s your biggest challenge in your writing journey? Let’s chat about it!

Do you really want to know which genre I write (the answer is, yes…) or what the book is about (it’s about people doing things and there’s probably kissing at some point) Also, it should be a crime to run out of coffee, and remind me again why we have to be on social media?

Is it just about getting published or making money? Or is there a deeper reason fueling your fire?

Drop a 🔥 if you’re still working on clarifying your why—trust us, it makes all the difference in staying motivated.

We’ve spent years chasing publication, but it wasn’t until we remembered our true purpose—creating stories that inspire and uplift—that our passions reignited. Knowing why we write helps us push through the frustrations and keep going, even when it’s hard (because, y’all—writing is hard).

Your why isn’t just a line in your bio; it’s the fire that keeps you writing through the setbacks and self-doubt. So, what’s yours? Share below, we want to hear it!
