Some days are easier than others. I have days when the words pour out with such ease that it can be hard to keep up. But I also have days when I'll open my laptop to write and after 30 minutes I've gone back and forth on the same few sentences and I have a … Continue reading Why I don’t rely on being inspired to write

Criticism and feedback
Which one is worth more? Often feedback is something you ask for whereas criticism is something you get given. And so there is the idea that criticism is always negative and feedback is useful which in some ways I think is true. I think that both are worth something if they're specific and can be … Continue reading Criticism and feedback
It’s more than what it is
This blog is more than just a blog. It's a daily blog. It's a writing practice. It's a come as you are space where I feel free to write as I please. It's a habit. It's a commitment. It's a hobby.

It's been more than a … Continue reading A writers confidence

Below are snippets from a … Continue reading Pyramids and Ponzis
3 Months of daily blogging!
Time has flown by and one thing that I can tell you about daily blogging is that it's not as difficult as I thought it would be. The act of coming up with something to write every single day and sharing it is more enjoyable than challenging. I thought I'd get 'writers block' but any … Continue reading 3 Months of daily blogging!
I know you said no but…
For some saying no is easy as cherry pie but for others not so much. So when you pluck up the courage to do it the last thing you want is for someone to question it, ask you why or worse, try to convince you to change your mind.
No breaks allowed
I'm only in the third month of blogging daily and I've had days where I find myself wondering how long I'll continue with it. I've had days where I'm too consumed in other life stuff to really give my all to the post I share that day. If this was anything else I'd have probably … Continue reading No breaks allowed
