Pep Talk for Creatives: Luca I’ll admit I haven’t actually watched the entire Luca movie. The rest of my family did, but if we sit down at home to watch a movie, I either fall asleep or have to be doing something else — like laundry, but I digress… I did catch this scene of the movie and love how… Read More
Pep Talk for Creatives: Just Do It
I had something different scheduled for today’s pep talk. But today is the first day of NaNoWriMo. I spent all weekend working on another project and didn’t get the aforementioned pep talk written or scheduled (it’s a good one, I promise I’m still going to share it). Here’s the thing, I was planning on writing it up and posting it… Read More
A Pep Talk for Creatives: La La Land

You’re going to love her story!). Every morning (ish) throughout… Read More
Making Writing Rituals
In the past, I’ve been very anti-(writing) rituals. To me, rituals can easily turn into just another excuse not to write (only write with a certain pen and lose it? Oh, can’t write. Have to write in a certain spot? What do you do when you travel, not write? Can only write in a certain temperature? . . . well,… Read More
Preptober: Backwards NaNoWriMo
It’s October. That means tons of writers everywhere are using the month to prepare for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) — Preptober if you will. November is the month where all us insane writers set out to write an entire novel (or 50,000 words of said novel). I’ve attempted NaNoWriMo for four years, and in my most successful year I… Read More
