Whoops, completely forgot time existed and I didn't post about my favorite month of the year! I hope everyone has been doing some writing this month. As for me, I have been slacking.

NaNoWriMo 2020: Day 18
We hit 10,000 words! It's fine, there's only 12 days left to get to 50,000 words. I really wanted to hit 60,000 and was mentally prepared to do so, but plans changed. I got distracted by YouTube and 90 Day Fiancé and I'm not apologizing about it. This year was/is rough. Not that it should… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020: Day 18
Weekly Book Picks: 11/16/20
Hello, everyone! I thought this week I should recommend another round of books, especially with places shutting down once again, it's nice to have some options of books to read while we prepare for another (maybe) lockdown. Isn't this a fun year? I haven't been reading as much as I would like to during National… Continue reading Weekly Book Picks: 11/16/20
NaNoWriMo 2020: Day 11
I'm very much behind schedule. According to my calculations, I should be at 22,000 words, since I figured, I would aim for 2,000 words a day. At that rate, I should have about 60,000 words by the end of the month. Sadly, I've only been able to type around 6,800 words. I haven't been writing… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020: Day 11
Weekly Book Picks: 11/9/20

NaNoWriMo 2020: Day 4
I feel pretty proud of myself. I thought I would lag behind due to the stress (and some might say drama) during this election, but I found that writing has helped keep me focused and grounded (not in the "You can't leave the house for a week" sense of the word, but more of the… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020: Day 4
Weekly Book Picks: 11/2/20
I found this website (https://bookshop.org/) completely by accident and I actually kind of dig it now. I just ordered some books off of it, but the premise behind the website, is that you buy books and they support local book stores. To me, this is a no brainer. I would love to support local bookstores… Continue reading Weekly Book Picks: 11/2/20
NaNoWriMo 2020: Day 2
I took a mental health/resting day yesterday. Now, I'm ready to start writing! Don't forget to sign up/sign in to http://www.nanowrimo.org and start your project!

NaNoWriMo 2020: Planning Week
It's about that time. Every year, during this week, I sit around for a couple hours each day and angrily write down ideas and then immediately scrap them because I convince myself that the plot I have outlined in my head will not work out... Also known as NaNoWriMo planning week! Yay! Now that things… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020: Planning Week
Weekly Book Picks – 10/26/20

It's… Continue reading Weekly Book Picks – 10/26/20
Halloween 2020: Writing Prompts

Weekly Book Picks – 9/28/20

Here are the books I plan to read… Continue reading Weekly Book Picks – 9/28/20
Weekly Book Picks – 9/14/20
Hi there. I decided to just list the books I plan on reading this week. I thought 4-5 would be an appropriate amount to list (even if I don't get around to reading all of them). Depending on the length and subject matter of the books, I can usually get through 2 a week, but… Continue reading Weekly Book Picks – 9/14/20

Is anyone else in the spooky mood this month? I know I'm always up for a good ghost story, especially in the summer when you're sweating and need a good story to give you chills and goosebumps. As someone who walks their dog at night, and is crazy enough to want to listen to something… Continue reading 3 Scary Audiobooks to Prepare for Fall
What I’m Currently Reading During Self-Isolation: Self Care Recommendation
Hi, everyone! I know I said I would be writing more (and I haven't) and that I was going to post more mental health content during self-isolation (which again, I haven't). I've had about 0 motivation to actually do anything besides sit on the couch, and then move upstairs to my bed, and then repeat… Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading During Self-Isolation: Self Care Recommendation
Self-Isolation Day 30: Holy Crap It’s Been a Month?!
Hi! I hope everyone is doing well and practicing some good ol' social distancing! (Please, practice social distancing, the world is a mess right now and we have a responsibility to look out for one another!) How have I been? Good question! I'm not sure. I have been working on a mental health post with… Continue reading Self-Isolation Day 30: Holy Crap It’s Been a Month?!
What I’m Currently Reading While Working Remotely: Day 3!
Is anyone else anxious if they'll still have a job Monday, or is that just me? Anyway! After already finishing the last book I posted about, I thought I would continue to post about what I'm reading since I have some extra time to do so, instead of my normal, busy life where I didn't… Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading While Working Remotely: Day 3!
What I’m Currently Reading While Working Remotely: Day 1!
Good evening! I hope all of you are well and you're taking care of yourselves! Since I'll have some more time to blog, I figured I would just do a post about what I'm reading each day since I'll probably be flying through books (until Animal Crossing comes out on the 20th). Here's what I… Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading While Working Remotely: Day 1!
Help! I Have Writer’s Block…
It's been day 325...well, that's an exaggeration, but it's been awhile since I've actually sat down and tried to write anything. I tried to participate in NaNoWriMo (it took me at least three times to type that out because I kept putting the Na and No in the wrong order and couldn't figure out why… Continue reading Help! I Have Writer’s Block…
2020 Reading Goals
Howdy! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and drank plenty of gross eggnog because there was nothing else to drink in the house! Definitely not speaking from experience...anyways, I honestly just remembered that I didn't reach my reading goal this year, and I was trying to figure out a reasonable goal going into 2020. Spoiler… Continue reading 2020 Reading Goals
NaNoWriMo 2019: So…About Those 32k Words…
...Yeah they got lost. Didn't make it to the story...because I'm a slacker. I got to 18k and was so proud of myself, and then realized I had a week left to catch up and immediately lost all hope and decided to read other books instead of working on my own...because that's how my brain… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2019: So…About Those 32k Words…
NaNoWriMo 2019: Is Anyone Else Exhausted…?
Hi, I'm still alive. I haven't made a lot of progress in my attempt to finish 50k words this month. I thought I would have more time, but with the new puppy being sick and my many distractions (Pokemon, reality television, shopping for Christmas decorations, and reading) that's definitely not going to happen... Side note:… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2019: Is Anyone Else Exhausted…?
NaNoWriMo 2019: Confessions of a Slacker
Hi, I've created a dramatic title. I haven't posted in awhile because I was hoping to focus on writing 50,000 words, but that's currently proven to be impossible as well. Work has been insanely busy. I also adopted a new puppy, who got very sick, and then the new Pokémon game came out (it's a… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2019: Confessions of a Slacker
National Novel Writing Month 2019
It's November! It's that time of year to get to writing every day...thousands of words a day...until you hit 50k...no pressure. I know I'm a little late on posting this, I've actually started writing my own NaNoWriMo "novel", but even if you haven't sat down and planned out your novel, I still think you should… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month 2019

13 Spooky Writing Prompts
It's just past midnight. You and your friends are sitting in a dark room, passing around a flashlight as you tell scary stories. The flashlight is passed to you. Which scary story do you tell...?

5 Daily Writing Prompts: Gardens (5/21)
Hi, all! Hope you're doing well today! I don't know why I'm having such luck this year, but my garden is looking pretty promising.

Hi, everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend! I'm excited about today's theme since I've been spending a lot of my free time doing some gardening and walking.
